Welcome Stacey
Let's chat.
How did you come up with your title? Mistletoe Movie Star is the third novella in a Christmas series where all the book titles begin with the word Mistletoe and a second word starting with the letter “m.” It took me a while to settle on Movie Star, but I was thankful to find an original title that was not yet in use! |
|
How much of the book is based in real life? The entire story is fictional, but the idea is loosely based on local events. My city is dealing with a homeless crisis. A good friend of mine presented an argument to the city council that an emergency warming shelter was needed because temperatures were dipping dangerously low. I was so proud of her! She became an instant inspiration for Char. |

What book are you reading now? I am working through some Advanced Reader Copies of other Christmas novellas in the Pelican Book Group Christmas Extravaganza. I loved Redeeming Christmas by Carol James! She is a favourite author of mine. I cried through A New Hope for Christmas by Erin Stevenson, and I’m partway through First Class Christmas by Katy Eeten – which has had me laughing many times! |
|
What is your next project? I’ve nearly finished a fourth Christmas story, which might end up set in Mistletoe Meadows. In it, an overwhelmed army chaplain and a wish-fulfilling newspaper columnist team up to save a parent’s legacy and make a young woman’s Christmas wish come true. I’m also working on a romantic suspense novel. If readers want to stay up to date on my book progress, they can find me at StaceyWeeks.com |

In no more than Ten (10) words, what is the spiritual takeaway for your reader? The greatest gifts are not found under a Christmas tree. |
|
Is there anything edgy/possibly controversial in your book? If so tell us what that is in Twenty (20) words or fewer. Homelessness and the community’s responsibility to care for the least among us. |
|
What is your hero's main character flaw? Doubts he has anything significant to contribute to the world. |
|
What makes your hero heroic? He is willing to take personal risks and investment financially in a cause he believes in. |
