characters in their short stories, and I had the privilege of interviewing Raquel and Santa this week.
"I Hate Christmas" by Anne Garboczi Evans
Favorite character: Raquel
Please introduce us to your character with a little description of who they are: Raquel is a 20-something romantic with a sense of humor. She has a way of getting herself into mishaps, but ends up landing on her feet all the same.

Tell us about your favorite Christmas, Raquel. Why was it your favorite?
Favorite Christmas? No way! I hate Christmas!
That sounds wonderful! Do you have a Christmas tradition you look forward to every year?
My favorite Christmas tradition? Seriously? What's to like about ten pounds of weight gain and hundreds of dollars wasted on presents?
"Banking on Christmas" by Karla Akins
Favorite character:
Santa
Please introduce us to your character with a little
description of who they are:
Santa comes to the bank on Christmas Eve.

Tell us about your favorite Christmas, Santa. Why was
it your favorite?
I think my favorite one was in 2009—it was
the one where my wife and I were robbed.
Santa got robbed? That's awful!
Do you have a Christmas tradition you look
forward to every year?
Oh definitely. But I can’t tell
you what it is or it would give the story away. Mainly, I like being with my wife doing what we do together.
There’s nothing more fun than spending Christmas with your best friend, is
there? I will say that her Macadamia nut cookies are fantastic. She makes them
for me every year but only on Christmas Eve. I have to wait 364 days a year to
enjoy them. They’re worth the wait!

Hey, guys. Great post, Kathleen! Poor Santa, has to wait so long his cookies! So glad this book is out. What fun stories!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda! It's fun to hear from the characters, isn't it?
DeleteWondering what cookies Santa eats the rest of the year. Ho ho ho!
Thanks for all your help, Linda, getting this launched! You are a jewel. At Christmas and all year.
DeleteGreat post! And oops on me. I see I told you my favorite Christmas tradition, rather than Raquel's. At the beginning of the story, Raquel doesn't have a favorite Christmas tradition because she hates Christmas. "Seriously," she'd say, "What's to like about 10lbs gained and hundreds of dollars wasted on presents." :)
ReplyDeleteFun!! Love learning about the characters!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Glad you enjoyed this post, Joanne.
DeleteI love learning about the stories this way. Makes me more curious! Nice blog idea, Kathy!
DeleteThanks, Karla! I appreciate your contribution! :)
