About the Book

Book: All I Want for Christmas

Author: Fay Lamb

Genre: Christian Fiction

Release date: November 21, 2021

A wedding headed for disaster,

A crime syndicate bent on destruction,

And a bunch of hungry alligators.

Knee deep in preparation for her best friend’s Christmas wedding, Abigail Brewster reels when her estranged younger sister returns to Mullet Harbor. She brings secrets, intrigue, and trouble along with her—a crime syndicate set on goals that would destroy the harbor. And Abigail is in the middle of their scheme.

Remy Arneaux doesn’t understand the reason for Susan Brewster’s return, and maybe that’s due to the brain fog from his concussion. But he does know enough not to trust her and not to let her near Abigail. The self-centered woman would only hurt her . . . again. Abigail has had enough pain, even from him. Still, he made a promise to escort someone else to the wedding. And with the promise is a secret that begins to rip his relationship with Abigail apart.

According to Mayor Herb’s edict, nothing is allowed to mar this occasion for his only granddaughter. Not heartbreak, not tirades from a spoiled young woman, and not threats from organized crime.

But what about their attempts to make good on their threats . . .

About the Author

Fay Lamb is the only daughter of a rebel genius father and a hard-working, tow-the-line mom. She is not only a fifth-generation Floridian, she has lived her life in Titusville, where her grandmother was born in 1899.

Since an early age, storytelling has been Fay’s greatest desire. She seeks to create memorable characters that touch her readers’ hearts. She says of her writing, “If I can’t laugh or cry at the words written on the pages of my manuscript, the story is not ready for the reader.” Fay writes in various genres, including romance, romantic suspense, and contemporary fiction.

More from Fay

Writing is supposed to be fun, right? Well, for a while, writing was the last thing I wanted to do. And when you have two series contracted and many other books waiting in line to be written, that’s a big problem.

I’m sure that I’m not the only person on the face of this earth who recently placed fun in a jar and hid it away for at least a week, maybe a month, maybe even a year. Heck, some of us may have fun still hidden away.

I truly thought I’d lost my sense of humor. And then I sat down to be purposeful in my writing. Abigail tiptoed onto the page (literally), and then the quirky denizens of Mullet Harbor worked their magic and the story unfolded before me. Abigail and her hero, Remy, may have had some difficulties in life, but for me, I had the time of my life.

When I finished writing All I Want for Christmas, I sat back and I marveled that I had not lost that sense of humor, especially not in my writing. I recalled that in all my writing life, when things were bleakest, my writing brought a smile, and I have always wanted it to bring a smile to others.

Mission accomplished. Humor has been removed from the hiding place and firmly installed back into the funny bone, and my prayer is that the readers will allow Mullet Harbor to bring a little humor—and suspense—to their lives.

Interview with Fay

Share something your readers wouldn’t know about you.

I’m a Bigfoot enthusiast. I love the big guy, and the top of my bucket list is to be a part of a Bigfoot Expedition. I have gathered a vast amount of information on the folklore surrounding Sasquatch, the Florida Skunk Ape, The Fouke Monster, Old Hairy, the Ohio Grassman—they’re all one and the same, and I’ve actually learned an important lesson from him: Believe in yourself even when no one else does.

If you had to describe yourself in three words, what would they be?

This year God gave me these three words, and I have adopted them to live up to them for the rest of my life: Intentional in Faith.

I don’t want to be wishy-washy any longer. A dear ninety-year-old church family member passed this year, and I have always known that when God takes away, He will fill the void. Our church ladies had finished a study on Elijah, and what we learned was that Elijah was very intentional in his faith. At my dear friend’s funeral, I resolved to be the one that filled her faithful void. She had purposefully attended every service. Margaret and her husband, John, attended every fellowship, and they were always in every business meeting, and as I grow older, I understand more deeply the need to step into heaven and have the Lord say to me, “Well done, good and faithful service.” It is not for my pride, but it is that in hearing those words, I will have known that my faith made a difference here on earth.

Can you share with us something about the book that isn’t in the blurb?

The story explores the relationship of estranged sisters, one who loves her sibling beyond reason and wants only the best for her while her sister has never thought of anyone but herself. The novel explores how long you hang on to the desire to reunite versus the reality that you must let go.

Does one of the main characters hold a special place in your heart? If so, why?

Oh yes. Several of the characters that inhabit Mullet Harbor, the swamp town that is the setting for my Christmas novels,are very dear to me because I have “rewritten” some of the people I love most. In All I Want for Christmas, the main heroine is named after my youngest granddaughter, Abigail Fay. My Abby and the Mullet Harbor Abigail share a habit of walking on tiptoes.

Any current or upcoming projects you’d like to tell us about?

I’m currently working on a mystery series with several other authors. My story is book two in the series, The Visitor, and my release is February 23, 2023. This story is my first foray into a pure cozy mystery, and it has become one of my favorites because, again, the main heroine is the sister of the visitor, and I explore a good sister relationship with the usual sibling troubles. Also, the main suspect in this story … are you ready … look back at my answer above … the main suspect is Bigfoot. The story is entitled The Visitor Meets Old Hairy, and I had such a fun time pointing the finger at the big fellow.
