A big welcome to Author Pamela S. Thibodeaux
who will give us insight into how she creates fiction.
I am 100% panster so when I sat at the computer with one scene in mind, Keri scrolling through her newsfeed and grumbling “bah humbug” over the ‘Christmas in July’ propaganda, I had absolutely NO idea where the story was going or what would happen. I was introduced to Energy Medicine a couple of years ago and find the whole concept of healing the body – or actually the body healing itself by correcting energy imbalance–fascinating. Along with EM, I’ve discovered the power of positive thoughts and prayers (see: You can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay). Add to that, my belief in the afterlife and the books & movies affirming those beliefs, and well, this story practically wrote itself. What is so amazing and encouraging for me is that Keri’s Christmas Wish is the first romantic story I’ve written in its entirety since my husband passed away in 2009. Oh, I’ve had things published that were already in the works, but other than a couple NF pieces, it is the only thing written from start to finish. Hopefully this means I’m in a much better place emotionally and other books/novellas/stories are sure to follow.

For
as long as she can remember, Keri Jackson has despised the hype and
commercialism around Christmas so much she seldom enjoys the holiday. Will she
get her wish and be free of the angst to truly enjoy Christmas this
year?
A
devout Christian at heart, Jeremy Hinton, a Psychotherapist, Life Coach,
Spiritual Mentor and Energy Medicine Practitioner has studied all of the world’s
religions and homeopathic healing modalities. But when a rare bacterial
infection threatens the life of the woman he loves, will all of his faith and
training be for naught?

Snippet:
She awoke in another dimension. Keri had no idea if she was in Heaven, but
neither did she fear Hell. Her surroundings were reminiscent of a dense forest
at dusk. Shadows danced against a sunset where brilliant colors bled from the
sky. A light shone in the distance but as she moved toward it, Keri felt as
though she plowed through molasses. Unease pricked her skin. The sound of water
drew her deeper into the woods until she stood at the base of a vast waterfall
and rapids so swift she dared not attempt to cross the river.
The
light grew stronger, brighter. Beckoning.
I
need to get to the light.
