2021 Christmas Scavenger Hunt Round-Robin: Under the Texas Mistletoe

December 5, 2021 By Karen Witemeyer

Merry Christmas! Welcome to the Christmas Christian Fiction Scavenger Hunt!

Here’s how it works: At each author’s blog post, you will find a question that can be answered by checking out the free Amazon preview of their book. Provide the answer at this form.

Note: You must answer the questions for every author in the round -robin to be considered to win the $250 first place, $150 second place or $100 third place Amazon gift cards. These prizes are USD values. If you are not a U.S. resident, you will get a gift card from the Amazon store for your country; however, it will be valued at these USD amounts.)

At the end of my post is a link to the next blog, where you will find a link to the next blog, etc., to the very end, creating a circle (a round-robin) visit through all of the authors’ blogs.

If you love historical romance with adventure, humor, and a heave dose of Christmas cheer, Under the Texas Mistletoe might be the perfect holiday read for you. This collection contains three novellas that are short enough to squeeze in among your holiday activities and long enough to provide a satisfying escape from the hustle and bustle.

In this 3-in-1 novella collection, you’ll find “A Texas Christmas Carol,” where a town’s wealthy, Scrooge-like bachelor finds his world invaded by a woman set on earning his donation for helping the local poor, and the penetrating questions of three mysterious visitors. It also includes, for the first time in print, “An Archer Family Christmas.” When the Archer clan gathers for the holiday, they encounter an unexpected request for help that will require all their effort and a Christmas miracle to see them through. In previously published “Gift of the Heart,” a widow uses the family brooch as collateral for a loan from the local resort owner. But the more she comes to know the man behind the stern businessman, the more she hopes for a second chance at love this Christmas.

You’ll also find you’ll find a hope-filled Christmas devotion, holiday recipes, and fun facts about nineteenth-century Christmas celebrations!

The two most powerful words in a writer’s vocabulary are: What if? When it came time for me to brainstorm a new Christmas novella idea, my mind turned to the classics and those powerful two words – what if . . .

What if . . . the Dickens classic A Christmas Carol took place in 1890’s Texas instead of early 1800’s London?

What if . . . Scrooge’s transformation story was a romance?

What if . . . there was a London, TX? Oh, wait. There is!

What happened next was a whirlwind of fun that is now available as A Texas Christmas Carol the first story in the new collection – Under the Texas Mistletoe.

Let’s begin this scavenger hunt! Go to my book page on Amazon HERE, and use the Look Inside feature to find the answer to the following question.

What is the name of the town Scrooge?

When you have the answer, FILL OUT THIS FORM and head on to the next blog!

Thank you so much for visiting! The next author on the tour is Jeanette Hanscome, who is telling us all about her Christmas novella Gifts. You can find it at this link.

Remember that the round-robin will end on December 12th at 11:59 PM EST!
