In 2014, Barbour Publishing tried a new twist on their annual Christmas novellas collections.
Designed as inspirational and full of the joy of the holiday, The Twelve Brides of Christmas Collection features historical romance novels focused on gift-giving. Reminiscent of the favorite carol “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” this year Barbour will release one story a week in ebook format to give readers a sweet weekly reminder leading up to the holiday.
Twelve writers were chosen and Mary Connealy led off the season with her The Advent Bride.
To learn more about the project see The Twelve Brides webpage here.
I’ve enjoyed working with eleven experienced writers as we’ve crafted tales involving special gifts which make a difference in a dozen couples’ romances. The gifts vary across the stories and are not necessarily what true loves gave each other in the famous carol that begins, “On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me . . . ”
Ranging from the Chicago area of 1880 to Mississippi, Nebraska and points west, The 12 Brides of Christmas novellas are cozy and an easy read during the holiday season. They’re about 60 page long and perfect for the busy holiday season–you’ve got just enough time to have a cup of tea or cocoa, sit down and enjoy a romantic history story that features Christmas.
And at 99 cents, who can beat the price?
(You could conceivably order a cup of coffee at Starbucks, buy the ebook and finish in one comfortable sitting!)
Put on Bing’s record, pour a cup of something warm and settle in for hours of romance and snow!
