Callie Meyers is in a mess. Her weasel boyfriend dumped her two weeks before Christmas and she hasn’t told her mother about the break up yet.

Just when Callie thinks all is lost and she’ll be spending another holiday at the kids’ table drinking margaritas solo, a handsome stranger comes to her aid and pretends to be her boyfriend, just through Christmas. Could the gorgeous and mysterious Henry actually be ‘the one’ for Callie?

Things go crazy when the press find out royalty is on the loose in the Florida Keys and that they could have their very own American Kate Middleton! When Callie finds out Henry’s actually an incognito prince who might just have marriage on his mind, she’s stunned. Could a royal really love an ordinary chef and cafe owner? Could Prince Henry of Laurenia marry her even if he wanted to?

So that’s the blurb, but what can you tell us about Her Christmas Prince?

It is the first in my Love in the Keys series. Set in the Florida Keys, it’s the story of Callie, a cafe owner, and Henry, an incognito prince. Henry comes to Callie’s rescue and poses as her boyfriend over Christmas, but things don’t go quite according to plan.

What genre is it?
It is a romance. It’s a sweet romance and because it’s Christmas, there is a light Christian thread surrounding the holiday.

What kind of readers will it appeal to?
HER CHRISTMAS PRINCE will appeal to anyone who likes a sweeter romance. It’s really about the romance and not about sex (there isn’t any!). It’s also a story about family, the true meaning of Christmas, and it’s a bit unusual because it takes place in Florida, which isn’t a traditionally Christmas-y setting.

How long did it take to write?
About four months, and another six weeks or so to edit it.

What was the most challenging part of your creative process?
The most challenging part of the process was actually the publishing part of it … I am not the world’s most technologically advanced person (my friends might say I am verging on Amish!). The writing came pretty easily because I knew who Callie and Henry were and what their story was.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
My day job is working in television program production and distribution, which involves many things … mostly documentary, reality and lifestyle programs. I am a pet mom to two rescues, Reilly the dog and Marmalade the cat. I am vegan-ish (mostly vegan at home but occasional cheat when I eat out), and spend far too much time reading and watching movies. I love travelling, cooking (though admittedly sometimes things turn out better than others) and hearing live music in all genres.

Do you keep a blog?
I don’t blog, but I do have an author page on Facebook.

Where can we buy your book?
Right now, only on Amazon ( US , UK ) as an e-book. But it will be out with Barnes & Noble and Kobo in April.

What’s next?
Book #2 of the Love in the Keys series is called HER ONLINE VALENTINE and it will be out in February with Amazon and in late May with Barnes & Noble and Kobo.
