Irony found in the story behind this sweet holiday romance

When I sat down and wrote Frog Juice and Figgy Pudding, I knew the setting as well as the back of my own hand. Lewisburg, Tennessee was where my father lived prior to his death a few weeks ago. Two of my brothers live there now. The characters were inspired by real people living in this small Middle Tennessee town.


In Frog Juice and Figgy Pudding, the story unfolds and it's quickly established that our heroine misses her deceased father. Though her father doesn't play a huge role in the story, our heroine treasures a final gift her dad left her and by the end of the story, the heroine goes to extremes to protect this particular gift.


Without giving spoilers, I invite you to take a closer look at Frog Juice and Figgy Pudding, a sweet romance that now holds so much meaning for me as a writer. After my father's passing, the edits came in for this manuscript and that's when the irony hit me. The timing in which this story was written coupled with the other elements found in Frog Juice and Figgy Pudding place this sweet holiday romantic suspense/thriller at the top of my list for the most meaningful manuscripts I've ever written and I'm certain no other project will ever take its place in my heart.
