The History of Bramble House
I was (understandably!) excited the day I learned that a movie was going to be made based on my book A Bramble House Christmas, to be premiered on the Hallmark mysteries and movies channel in 2017. Since then, the support for this book (and the wonderful movie) has inspired me to continue the stories in a new series: Bramble House Chronicles.
A Merry Bramble Christmas, is the second in this series. The first, Promise Me Please Cowboy, was released in September 2023 and features the love story between Amy Arden (the new owner of Bramble House B & B) and rodeo cowboy Chet Hardwick.
But to fully appreciate the history of Bramble House (which deviates in some respects from the movie) you need to go back to a book published in 2014, Snowbound in Montana, where we meet the original owner of Bramble House (great aunt Mable) and her great niece (Eliza Bramble) who convinces Mable to convert the historic family home into a bed-and-breakfast. In this book Eliza falls in love with rugged ski guide, Marshall McKenzie, and when they decide to get married, Marshall agrees to move into Bramble House and help Eliza keep her business going.
The next big development in Bramble House’s history occurs in a novella I published in 2018, Carrigan Christmas Reunion. Here dramatic events force Eliza and Marshall to put Bramble House up for sale…a decision which led me to the creation of the Bramble House Chronicles series, and the afore mentioned Promise Me Please Cowboy.
It’s complicated, I know, but these books have been so much fun to write and with the support of my readers I look forward to continuing the series in the years to come. Thank you for visiting Bramble House B & B. I hope to see you again soon!
Wishing you Peace and Joy,
CJ
