What I Enjoyed About Writing A Goose Creek Christmas - #4

It's 10 days until Christmas, and I'm sharing a tidbit each day. The first six are "What I Enjoyed About Writing A Goose Creek Christmas," because it's my most recent Christmas book. Beginning on day 7 I'll tell you six "Things I Love About Christmas."

What I Enjoyed About Writing A Goose Creek Christmas - #4

One of the main characters, Al Richardson, is forced into early retirement at the beginning of the book. He doesn’t want to tell his wife, because then he’ll be forced to help her open a B&B, and he thinks its unmanly for a husband to work for his wife. He goes to outrageous lengths to keep his secret, which of course only digs the hole deeper. Is Al in for a Merry Christmas or a Marriage Crisis? In the end, he learns a painful and very public lesson. I loved redeeming Al and teaching him respect for the truth, and for his wife.

How about you? Leave a comment and tell me about a secret you kept, and how it turned out.
