Do you ever have one of those moments when you wonder if you’re starting to lose your mind? I’m only half kidding. Over the summer, I did a podcast interview with Janetta Messmer, and we discussed having her back on in November. For some reason, I never actually published that initial conversation on my podcast. I can’t even tell you what happened. Fortunately, she is a gracious lady with a fun-loving personality, so she saw the humor in it all as I was fumbling around trying to figure out how I lost track. I’m generally a very organized person, but there are days…Anyway, it actually worked out for the best, because she was sharing a Christmas novella in that first interview, and when I did the second interview with her this month, she had a second Christmas novella. So you’re getting a 2-for-1 here.
Before I hung out with Janetta, I had the pleasure of meeting Jessica Wakefield from across the pond. I always enjoy conversing with people from Australia. Not only do I get a fresh perspective, but I also enjoy their quaint accents.
And I learned something new—what we call goldendoodles, they call groodles. Who knew?
As a kid, Jessica Wakefield penned really bad Anne of Green Gables fan fiction. Nowadays she lives in Newcastle with her husband and two daughters.
Jessica has a lifelong love of Sweet Valley High books and is a recovering Gilmore Girls addict. When she’s not fawning over her fluffy Mini Groodle, Ginny, you’ll find her baking in her kitchen, dancing around the house, or walking her dog.

Turning Life into Comedy is Janetta Fudge Messmer’s tagline. The genre she writes in is Christian Comedy (with a touch of Romance). Janetta also writes devotionals since life on the road in a camper gives her plenty of material. When she’s not writing, she teaches classes on how to “Tell Your Story.” The inspiration for the class came when she asked her mother questions about her life. Janetta, her hubby (Ray), and their pooch (Maggie) are full-time RVers. Most days, you’ll find them out sightseeing…but first Janetta has to sit down and write a few words.
Back Cover for An Unexpected Christmas Gift:
Breanna Snow owns the Snowed Inn B&B outside of Boulder, Colorado. And the city manager, Matthew Jacobson, is irritating the socks off of her. The Go-By-The-Book-Kind-Of-Guy wants to shut her bed and breakfast down. And Bree has no clue why.
But she doesn’t have time for Mr. Jacobson’s nonsense. She’s getting married. However, a tiny hiccup occurs while she’s trying on her wedding dress. It literally turns her world upside down. And to her dismay, the city manager is right in the middle of it.
Will the mortal enemies find a way to work things out before her B&B closes? Or will they die trying? And can a random act of kindness from years ago change her heart to hear the truth?
Back cover for Rekindled for Christmas Eve:
Reese Solomon retires from the Navy and returns to Annapolis, Maryland—the place where Madison Pointer broke his heart. He’s not worried about rekindling anything with her because she’s married.
A week after Reese arrives in town, he finds a letter with a picture telling him he’s a father. The two meet, and Kim and Reese both agree it’s a God thing. And for the time being, his daughter wants to keep the news of Reese relocating to Annapolis from her mother.
However, Madison finds out he’s back in town. And she wants nothing to do with him. Even though she’s a widow, her thinking is that too many years have gone by. There’s no chance of her rekindling anything with Reese. Where was he when she needed him twenty-plus years ago?
And the so-called miracles Reese and her family speak of are driving Madison nuts. Will she continue to believe the lies, or will she allow the past to convince her of the truth and trust in the Lord and Reese again?
