    About this ebook

    Ebbie Scrogg hates Christmas—and for good reason. Ten years ago, she lost her beloved father on Christmas Eve, and she's never forgiven herself for the accident that claimed his life.

    For the past decade, Ebbie has grown hard, detached, distant while she took over operation of her family's business: Scrogg's Christmasland, a holiday theme park that her father dearly loved. She's done nothing but work in a vain attempt to dull her pain. But this Christmas Eve, something unexpected happens: Ebbie runs into Carol, the woman whose heart she broke ten years ago...and realizes that her feelings for her are still very much alive.

    Before Christmas Day dawns, Ebbie will be visited by three spirits who attempt to open her eyes to the truth--and to the love of a woman who has never stopped believing in her.

    CHRISTMAS CAROL is a funny, heartwarming romance that turns Charles Dickens' A CHRISTMAS CAROL on its ear!

    I live in the northeast on a small farm with a few cats and dogs, my saintly wife, and more weeds in the garden than anyone should ever have to tackle. I have two great loves: my wife and writing, and I’m so grateful to be able to marry the two in the stories I write, about two women who have a connection, who fall deeply in love with one another. I’d love to hear from you! Send me an email at miss.Natalie.vivien@gmail.com You can also visit my site at http://natalievivien.wordpress.com
