HOW A KISS UNDER THE MISTLETOE WAS BORN

 

 

 

by

 

 

 

June Foster

 

 

 

I love to write stories about identical twins and the mishaps that come their way. I also love to feature a slightly overweight heroine. Probably because I want my girl to struggle with some of the same problems many women of today, including me, deal with. A Kiss Under the Mistletoe contains both elements.

 

 

 

So, when my editor called for a Christmas story about a mistake under the mistletoe, the wheels in my head started churning. What if a really good-looking youth pastor had a brother that looked exactly like him but differed in every other way? Maybe he'd be an alcoholic or a player. What if the youth pastor's parents always forced him into the role of the good guy, and he'd accommodated them since he was a boy? Afterall, Carson Shumate had to make up for the shenanigans his brother pulled. What if one day he finally got tired of playing the role?

 

 

 

Then I had to ask the same questions, the what if game concerning my heroine. This is a strategy many authors use to plan their plots. My friend and fellow writer, Fay Lamb, put me onto this method.

 

 

 

So, I asked my heroine, Noel Kendrick, if she trusted men, and she answered emphatically no. She went on to explain. Her father left her mother when Noel was twelve without a word to Noel. Then in college, her boyfriend misled her by dating another girl at the same time. And to make it worse, the guy was a youth pastor.

 

 

 

So, now I've set the scene for when Noel meets Carson. Now I know why she fools him into believing she's a clerk at the local grocery store just to tease him. I also know why she's even more suspicious of him when she sees him loading beer into his car when he'd sworn he didn't drink.

 

 

 

I hope you'll want to read A Kiss Under the Mistletoe and discover all the mishaps under the mistletoe Noel and Carson experience.

 

 

 

Blurb for A Kiss Under the Mistletoe

The men in Noel Kendrick's life have always lied to her. When she accepts her pastor's plea to head the Christmas nativity scene project, she doesn't realize the job requires her to work with Carson Shumate, the handsome youth pastor with midnight blue eyes. Despite her efforts to keep her emotional distance, she falls hard after a kiss under the mistletoe.

But Carson has a secret of his own. If he reveals the truth about his identical twin to his church, he fears they will fire him, and he could lose Noel.

 

A Kiss Under the Mistletoe is the sequel to An Unexpected Family.

Hi, June and Patti! So nice to see another Winged author featured. I love the twin idea. I used it in my last Christmas book, but not as in depth as you did. Don't put me in the drawing, please. I don't have a Kindle anymore. Many blessings, Bonnie
