What is the title of your book?
CHRISTMAS BABIES, very appropriate for the Christmas season.
Where did the idea come from for the book?The story takes place in Florida where I live. While living in northern states, I have often wondered how people celebrate Christmas on the beach. Now I know and I love it. Like my daughter, the heroine is a pediatrician and neonatologist. But what if this heroine who deals with tiny patients all day long can’t have children of her own?
What genre does your book fall under? Contemporary romance, with some medical scenes, although most of the story takes place out of the hospital or on the beach at Christmas time.
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
I love Kate Hudson. She’s sassy and confident. She can handle the role of Dr. Madelyn Ramsay. I can picture Matthew McConaughey in the role of Dr. Nick Preston.
What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
The best synopsis was given by my friend Mary Ricksen:
Would that we all realize about love without needing a health scare to convince us.
Where (or when) can we get your book?
CHRISTMAS BABIES is available at Amazon for 99cents. It’s a bestseller with a rank #180 in kindle store and #41 in Contemporary romance. Link to order: http://tinyurl.com/burgd9j
How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
My manuscript is 36,000 wc. I wrote it in four weeks while ina cruise in the Middle East and India. I was relaxed. The words flew off my fingers.
What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
This is my first Christmas story. I wrote several medical romances in the same genre. BABIES IN THE BARGAIN, NO MORE LIES, and RIGHT NAME,WRONG MAN.
What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest? The story involves an interesting look at foster care and adoption. Believe me, I did some intense research about these subjects. Stay tuned for VALENTINE BABIES, the next book in the Holidays Babies Series.
Blurb: A heartwarming holiday story set in South Florida.
Dedicated to her patients, the serious Dr. Madelyn Ramsay never had time for fun. An unexpected health problem jolts her into the realization that there’s more to life than just work. She longs to surrender to the magic of Christmas.
But can she handle the charming and secretive Dr. Nick Preston who carries his own package of disillusions? Can she allow two newborn twins to worm their way into her heart?

What a fantabulous concept for a series -- holiday babies! And I love your casting choices.
I know how you love your babies, Mona! How does Madelyn feel about her name being in a book?
