Hi Awesome Readers,

I’m super excited to have a special guest author here today to help celebrate my new release, Forever Yours in Christmas Falls. Please give a warm welcome to: CIARA KNIGHT

Happy Holidays! I’m so excited to be here at Susan’s blog today to help celebrate the release of Forever Yours in Christmas Falls. I also had the extreme pleasure of working with Susan on the Return to Christmas Falls series. This series is so precious and full of holiday spirit, and I think Susan’s book is the fun and fabulous. I always know when I pick up a Susan Hatler book, I’ll experience a lighthearted, enjoyable sweet romance. She’s such an awesome author, but more than that she’s a fantastic lady. I’ve had the honor of meeting her in person, so I know.

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Ciara Knight, a southern girl who loves to travel. I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing most of the United States, Caribbean, Mexico, Europe, and China. While I’m traveling, I love to people watch. My husband and I play a game while sitting at cafes by watching people pass by and then guess what they do for a living, what their hobbies are, and what secrets they are carrying with them. It’s a great way to imagine stories.

During one of our family vacations in the north Georgia mountains, I thought about how the holidays were always more special with family, but it was more than that. Christmas offers something truly special to everyone who opens their heart to it, which is why I wrote the book A Christmas Spark:

Sara Foster blames herself for her failed marriage. On Christmas Eve, she hides away in the family cabin, the same place her father abandoned her twenty years ago.

Dalton Scot is unable to face the family holiday after his divorce and discovering he can never have children of his own, so he chooses Christmas Eve to fix his buddy’s cabin.

Both search for a secluded spot to mourn their Christmas pasts, but instead are snowed in at the cabin for the holiday where they discover the power of the Christmas spark.

For a chance to win a $10.00 Starbucks gift card so that you can people watch from your own café table, leave a comment telling me what you believe a ‘Christmas Spark’ is. Good luck!

  3. A “Christmas Spark” is when you see someone in your driveway that you have thought about for a long time, they get out of the car, walk to the front door, & ring the bell. When you open the door a spark jumps between both of your hearts & the connection is electric.

  4. Hi Charlene, it’s nice to meet you. That’s a great answer.

    Wow, that is profound, Christie. I love your answer.

    Hi Pam, do you write for Hallmark? I think you just explained the start to some of the Christmas movies. Awesome!

  5. A Christmas spark is just that the Magic of Christmas,little kids opening their gifts. the joy the Christmas season brings.

  6. A Christmas spark is the hope and magic of Christmas that leads to something wonderful happening.

  8. A Christmas spark is watching a child who in their heart of hearts has total belief in Christmas. Just to see the sweet faces and fascination they have. Warms my heart and soul.

  10. for me, a Christmas spark was always the remembrance of my first Christmas with my late husband(before we married). We met just before Christmas 26 years ago, and each Christmas we would return to the local steak house that we went to on our first date. My late husband was very romantic, and would try to recreate that night, but always add something special each year(he always said we were reliving that first ‘spark’).

  11. I think a Christmas spark is a little dose of magic, whether it be forgiving, love, hope, Santa, etc.

  13. A Christmas spark could be what you get if you don’t treat your christmas lights well, lol. Just kidding. I think that a christmas spark is something that makes the season magical, the thought of the word believe and the hope of what is to come. It is also the feeling you get watching those you love at this time see the magic.

  14. A Christmas spark is someone meets another unexpectedly at a party and they hit it off. Especially if they hadn’t intended to go to the party. Serendipity.

  17. I think a Christmas spark is the joy and wellbeing that seems to float around at Christmas

  18. For the lost and lonely a Christmas spark is the realization that Christ was born to serve and ultimately save our souls.

  19. Wendy, nice answer. 🙂

    Catherine, I can imagine the Christmas wishes from childhood and the excitement of the season.

    Virgie, family is so important during the holidays.

    Lisa, what joy it is to see a child who believes.

    Susan, my pleasure! Thanks for having me!!

    Toni, you just brought tears to my eyes. What a special man! I’m so sorry for your loss, but I’m so glad you have amazing memories.

    Katie, there is nothing better than a little Christmas magic.

    Lynette, holiday miracles are the best.

    Kim, I’ve had that happen. Ouch! LOL

    Denise, I loved that movie!

    Good luck, Brenda!

    Carrie, the joy at Christmas is infectious.

    Gina, such a true statement. Bless you.

  21. I think a Christmas spark is as magical as the Christmas season. Christmas is a time of hope and peace.

  23. This sounds like an awesome read. I think a Christmas spark is that burst of hope that ignites when you’re down or it could be the spark you give to someone else when you reach out to help.

  25. The Christmas spark is the magic that makes everyone want to do things for others at Christmas time. It makes their hearts grow brighter inside and out. They become more loving.

  26. Oh. I think that’s a little hard to explain. I think a Christmas Spark is just something that’s inside of you. I happen to LOVE Christmas and I think that people are just nicer during the holidays. I think a Christmas Spark is just you opening your heart to the magic of the season and truly taking the time to enjoy it.
