Lillian Duncan is a multi-published writer with several Amazon bestsellers, including The Christmas Stalking and Betrayed. Lillian writes the types of books she loves to read—fast-paced suspense with a touch or two of romance that demonstrates God’s love for all of us. Today, she talks about bringing suspense into Christmas-themed novels.

Christmas will be here before you know it! Time to get in the mood and I know just the way to do that—Christmas-themed novels. At first glance fast-paced suspense novels and Christmas wouldn’t seem to mix, but let me assure you they do.

I love the challenge of finding a way to mix suspense into a Christmas story. NO HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS is a mixture of suspense, romance, and Christmas! What could be better than that?

There’s always so many possibilities for what the characters can learn as they journey through the story. And, of course, I love all the Christmas symbolism available during my favorite time of the year.

Everyone knows Christmas is the season for miracles and a miracle is just what Chloe Sullivan needs in No Home For The Holidays. Chloe is a classic case of the “prodigal daughter.” Chloe didn’t just rebel against her famous father, she became the poster child for the party life in Hollywood.

After witnessing a crime, Chloe goes on the run but now wants nothing more than to go home—both literally and figuratively. But Chloe believes some mistakes are too big to fix—ever!

Colton Douglas, ex-FBI agent turned preacher knows there’s no problem too big for God. When Colton and Chloe’s paths cross, he’s determined to get her home by Christmas. But someone else is just as determined that Chloe go away—permanently!

 Merry Christmas and remember it really is the season for miracles!

Here’s a blurb for No Home for the Holidays.

Unlike the Prodigal Son, Chloe Sullivan knows she can’t go home for the Christmas holidays or ever—not if she wants to stay alive. She’s resigned to the fact she must stay in hiding to keep herself and her family safe.

Lonely and desperate for God’s presence, she’s drawn to a nearby church. Ex-FBI agent turned preacher, Colton Douglas, mistakenly identifies Chloe as the person breaking into local churches. After a midnight chase that ends with him snapping her photo.

When the photo goes public he learns more about the mystery woman than he bargained for. . . And that changes everything!
