What is your favorite thing about the
Holidays?
Everything? I
love this time of year! From the cold winter days, to the lively decorations, the
yummy food, the magic in the air that makes everyone a little nicer... as soon
as December starts rearing its head I’m in a festive mood.
What inspired you to write your book?
I love the holiday
season so writing a themed story every year is almost a habit. As a matter a
fact, my first published story was a Christmas short called ‘The Sweetest Christmas Candy' You can still
read it for free at The Long and the Short of it.
This year,
unfortunately, I wrote my holiday story too late in the season... but hopefully
it will get published next year! *fingers crossed* (You listening, Santa?)
Share a Holiday anecdote with the readers
An anecdote…
hummm… to be honest, my holiday’s are usually pretty peaceful. Unless you count
the fact that I start singing carols early in the month (okay, more like in
November and wherever my sister can’t hear me) and get scolded for it.
I do remember
one year, after learning that Santa doesn’t exist (or so they say *grin*),
searching for the gifts around my house. I looked everywhere and finally found
them in the basement in an old suitcase. I was quite proud of myself of having finally discovered where my mom kept
them hidden. However, my wonderful mother still managed to surprise me when
Christmas day rolled in and I was shocked to discover there was a bicycle. To
this day I still don’t know where she kept it hidden.

Punishing Santa
Punishing Santa
Christmas is all about that jolly old man from the North Pole, Santa Claus. He has a list of who's been naughty and who's been nice and every year he flies on his reindeer to deliver his goods. However, haven't you ever wondered who decides whether Santa has been naughty or nice?
That job falls to Helena Claus, his wife. This year she is most unhappy about her husband and has placed him on her naughty list. Not only will Santa not be getting any gifts but he will be receiving a well deserved punishment for neglecting his wife.

Defined as weird since she was about eight, Elyzabeth honors the title by making up songs about her chores, doodling stars and flowers on any blank sheet of paper and talking to her dog whenever he feigns interest.
Losing the battle to the voices in her head is her favorite pastime after annoying her younger sister with her singing. Writing stories full of passion and emotion where love conquers all is her happy pill and she'll forgo sleep to make her readers live the dream.

Holidays are pretty awesome, eh? ;-) Thanks for stopping by and sharing!
DeleteMoms are pretty cool about being able to hide stuff. I used to hide gifts at the neighbours. They didn't have children so I didn't have to worry about their kids finding the gifts.

Oooh, that's a sneaky tactic, Victoria!
