Lights, Camera, Christmas Town!

 


Liz Flaherty

Hi, everyone! 

Thanks for having me here. I hope you’re having a great introduction-to-the-holidays weekend and that you’ve recovered from a particularly sumptuous Thanksgiving Day and/or successful Black Friday!

Speaking of holidays…the reason I’m here.

Christmas stories. Oh, I love them.

Which explains I’m glad to be back in Christmas Town, where there’s room for everyone. Where there is hope and love and the occasional miracle. That’s what I wish for you all as we go into the holiday season—yes, I do make it last a long time: hope and love and a small miracle if you need it.



Christmas Town came into publication existence several years back, when Melinda Curtis, Anna J. Stewart, and Anna Adams wrote an anthology for Harlequin Heartwarming called Christmas, Actually.

The town, with all its places and people and magic have been around ever since. Here is a link that will introduce you to its stories. You’ll want to read them all! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DK91R8W

This year, eight present and former Harlequin Heartwarming authors are back in Christmas Town, Maine, where they’re making a Hallmark-esque movie based on a novella from an earlier year, A Christmas Carousel Proposal, available by clicking the link if you have a free Bookfunnel account. We have stories about cast, crew, Christmas Town residents and everyone in between. The Knotty Elves and Elmer, the Elf play prominent parts. So does a dog named Jolly, the gazebo on the green, and that little bit of magic that sprinkles stardust wherever it’s needed in the wonderful little town.

Cheryl Harper, Beth Carpenter, Melinda Curtis, LeAnne Bristow, Tanya Agler, Anna J. Stewart, Cari Lynn Webb, Liz Flaherty all hope you’ll come and visit!




The collection is available in both ebook and paperback at the online retailer of your choice.

Bio:

Liz Flaherty has spent the past several years enjoying not working a day job, making terrible crafts, and writing stories in which the people aren’t young, brilliant, or even beautiful. She’s decided (and has to re-decide most every day) that the definition of success is having a good time. Along with her husband of lo, these many years, kids, grands, friends, and the occasional cat, she’s doing just that. Find her on Facebook or her blog, Window Over the Sink. A girl just can’t have too many friends! https://linktr.ee/lizflaherty

This sounds like a great collection of Christmas stories. Just the name of the town makes one know it's a feel-good setting. Thanks for sharing this collection with us.

A pleasure to have a fellow Gem blogging for the Generistas. Can't wait to read all of these holiday stories. Thank you so much for putting me in the holiday spirit.

I love the stories about Christmas Town, Maine - for one thing I live in Maine. For another, I've been reading this series every year since it started. Already put in an order. Can't wait. So, thanks for stopping by RTG to remind us about this fun annual series.

Thanks for coming by!

It's a wonderful place, Paty, enriched by all the writing personalities that have formed it.

Liz Flaherty said...

Thanks, Deb. I love Maine. I've only been there once, and we stayed pretty much to the coast, but it was glorious and on my bucket list to go back to.
