My dear friend and co-founder/co-host of Friends & Fiction, Mary Kay Andrews, has a new book out TODAY! THE SANTA SUIT is in stores everywhere Tuesday, September 28th!
We all know that summer begins with Mary Kay Andrews. Well, this year, Christmas begins with MKA, too!
As Mary Kay has told us on Friends & Fiction she never intended to write a Christmas book this year. But, for her, dark times underline our need for hope.
And cheer.
So, last fall, after she’d turned in her manuscript for THE NEWCOMER, she started thinking of a Christmas story, envisioning an elegant, vintage red velvet Santa Claus suit sitting in a brightly wrapped box, high on a closet shelf in a quaint white farmhouse just waiting for the right person to unwrap its secrets. And who better to discover that suit than Ivy Perkins, the newly divorced buyer of Four Roses Farm, who wants nothing to do with Christmas this year.
This story is fun and sweet and brimming over with the promise of second chances and the magic of Christmas. And at just a couple hundred pages, it's perfect to cozy up with and read in a single sitting—or to stuff in a stocking. If ever there was a year that we needed Christmas to come early, it's this one. With anticipated supply chain disruptions this holiday season, it's best to shop early! So grab yourself a copy of THE SANTA SUIT today!
FRIENDS & FICTION reminder—tune in Wed, Sept 29th @7pm for Guest Debbie Macomber DEAR SANTA and the launch celebration for MKA’s THE SANTA SUIT! Friends and Fiction Facebook Live or YouTube!
