The late Thomas Kinkade lent his name to the “Cape Light” books with author Katherine Spencer. All the books are set in a fictional New England town, and are inspirational and uplifting. You don’t have to read them in order to enjoy them.
Anne Perry is best known for her two mystery series, but for several years she’s produced a book with a Christmas theme set in Victorian England. These are shorter mysteries, just right to squeeze in while trying to get ready for the holidays. This year’s book is A Christmas Garland, set in 1857 India where a young and inexperienced British lieutenant is supposed to defend a fellow soldier against a charge of being an accomplice to a murder and the escape of a prisoner.
Debbie Macomber has several Christmas themed books, including Christmas at Cedar Cove. While her books set in Cedar Cove are probably her most famous, she’s also known for her Christmas books featuring the angels Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy. The most recent one in that series is Angels At the Table.
Donna VanLiere has a number of fiction books to her credit, but the ones most often requested are her Christmas books. Christmas Shoes, Christmas Blessing, and Christmas Hope have been made into TV movies; Christmas Secret is tentatively scheduled for 2013.
Richard Paul Evans self published The Christmas Box back in 1993. It became a local hit, and was then brought out by a major publisher, becoming the first of several best-selling books from Evans. Most have a Christmas theme, and several have been filmed.
