Interview with Kelly Moran, Author of Mistletoe Magic

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Mistletoe Magic?

It’s the 6th book in the Redwood Ridge series (though a stand-alone) and I felt like the series needed something to close it out on a proper endnote. What better time of year than Christmas? Also, the books are small-town rom-coms about matchmakers who set everyone up, and this time, the tables get turned on one of them as payback. Er, I mean, thank you.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Mistletoe Magic, what would they be?

Marie: “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor. Preston: “Angel Dream” by Tom Petty

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

I typically read in the genre that I write: contemporary & paranormal romance. I do read classics and occasional horror.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

We’d be here all day. Or year.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

The opening prologue, because it brought all the other couples together and two secondary characters to plan how to set up Marie with her perfect match.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

Coffee. I prefer complete silence when I write, if the cat and dog allow it. Coffee. Chocolate. I pace when plotting. Coffee. That sorta thing.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

I like the Johnny Depp quote: “One day, the people that didn’t believe in you will tell everyone how they met you.” I have that framed on my desk and it’s something I remind myself of often.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

I tried. God willing, I tried. Um, lol, probably that no two people read the same book. I always incorporate something in my writing that I feel is an important message.
