· Gina Wynn joins us today to give us a little insight into her new book,
Her Undercover Christmas.
Blurb:
Christmas is
approaching and Phil is a girl out to get what she wants—the life of her
choosing. She wants it all: a good looking man, his money, and the respect he
commands. She just needs to throw her lot in with her criminal cousins for one day.
Long enough to pull off a theft and come to the attention of the man she
desires. But the job goes wrong.
Bastian is a man on
the run—from a lifestyle he never chose and can’t seem to escape. One last favor before he disappears for good, and then he can start afresh somewhere
new. But the favor balloons into more than he anticipated, and suddenly there
are two of them on the run, and two of them snowed in and hiding out in his one
last safe place.
Can a woman who thinks
she knows where she belongs help a man who has never really belonged anywhere?
Gina, thanks for stopping by today and congrats on your latest release. We've love to hear... what was the inspiration behind Her Under Cover Christmas?
Over
the past few years, I’ve started a tradition for myself of reading Christmas
stories in December. I like to finish my final one on Christmas Eve night, so
December is a bit of a reading frenzy if I find a lot of holiday themed books.
I particularly love Christmas chick lit/romance/WF by British authors because I
love reading about Christmas in England.
Bastian
and Phil have a very unconventional Christmas. For a start, they’re
accidentally hiding out together, and I’ve given them a lot of snow. I love the
magic of Christmas, I love the idea of snow covered fields, and I love fires to
keep characters warm. Christmas trees also feature as Phil shares my love of
Christmas. She has very fond memories of childhood Christmases, and Bastian
tries to recreate some of what she loves for her. He doesn’t quite get it right
but points for trying.

You sound like a person who gets excited about Christmas.
I
love Christmas. :-) When I was younger, I loved it for the obvious reasons—no
school, overdosing on TV and, obviously, PRESENTS! Now, though, I love the time
I get to spend with my family, and I love making the time of year really
special for my children because I want them to remember their Christmases as I
do—safe, magical times.
So,
I rearrange the furniture, decorate the house and try to fill it with those
wonderful smells of Christmas, and I spend time watching Christmas movies with
them. I am a sucker for a Christmas movie, and a good Christmas book. At the
beginning of December, I bring out all of the picture books with a Christmas
theme that we’ve managed to collect over the years, and it’s fun to see the
children rediscover them. For me, I have started a tradition of spending my
December reading Winter/Christmas themed books. I try to finish the last one on
Christmas Eve to be ready for the big day itself.
I
eagerly anticipate snow all through December, but it’s only fun if we’re able
to stay home and watch it from inside or go into the garden to play in it. All
three of my babies were born with snow outside—although all in different months
of the year. My third was possibly the most awkward because we had to make the
trip to the hospital on a day when my other children were sent home from school
and people were trying not to travel. Still, at least she maintained the snow
births.
There
aren’t any snow birth babies in Her Undercover Christmas, but there is plenty
of snow, and there is a real Christmas tree. I’m a little ashamed to admit I’ve
lost the real tree over the past few years, and opted instead for an artificial
one as the children like to put it up early in December. Maybe I just need a
Bastian.

About
Gina:
From a magical land of castles and
kings (Okay, it’s England), Gina doesn’t feel as old as she looks, owns three
children (aged 2, 5 and 7) who can’t be tamed, and writes in spare – usually
stolen – time. She sometimes bakes—not always with quite the desired results,
and has found the only solution to keeping the characters in her head quiet is
to placate them with lots of other lovely books and worlds. As well as Her
Undercover Christmas, Gina has written two other books. Her Dollmaker’s Desire
is also published by Decadent Publishing, and What You Wish For is published by
Three Worlds Press.
