New York Times best-selling author Debbie Macomber is best known for her romance novels and women’s fiction. Focusing on strong relationships and family ties, her works aim to uplift and inspire while reminding us of what’s really important. She’s also released a Christmas novel almost every year since 1986, earning her the title of ‘the official storyteller of Christmas.’ With #1 rankings, over 200 million published books and a massive female fanbase, it’s no surprise that six of her novels have also been turned into popular Hallmark movies. And her works of non-fiction — including three cookbooks and two adult coloring books — are just as big with her readers.
Now Ms. Macomber is officially bringing her cozy festive cheer into 2022 in a big way. She’s all set to release two brand new books on the same day this autumn — a romance novel titled The Christmas Spirit and a new holiday coloring book, Debbie Macomber’s Holly Jolly Christmas Coloring Book. She is also part of anthology of holiday-set romance stories titled Snowflakes and Starlight releasing just one week later.
The Christmas Spirit
‘The Christmas Spirit’ is described as ‘a story of two lifelong friends who switch places a week before Christmas and find love along the way.’ According to the official press release, the summary is as follows:
Peter Armstrong and Hank Colfax are best friends, but their lives couldn’t be more different. Peter is a local pastor who is dedicated to his community. He spends his time visiting the flock, attending meetings, and, with the holiday season approaching, preparing for the Christmas service and live nativity. As a bartender, Hank serves a much different customer base at his family-owned tavern, including a handful of lonely regulars and the local biker gang.
When Peter scoffs that Hank has it easy compared to him, the two decide to switch jobs until Christmas Eve. To their surprise, the responsibilities of both bartender and pastor are similar, but much more difficult than either of them expected. As Peter and Hank begin to see each other’s lives in a new light, and each discovers a new love to cherish, their lives are forever changed.
Equal parts sweet and comical, this story is sure to draw you in with its eclectic cast of characters and keep you hooked with the wild plotline and heartwarming message. It’s everything you’d expect from a classic Debbie Macomber novel. And based on everything we’ve learned so far, the Elf Squad can’t wait until we have our own copies.
