Unlucky in love, Maddie LaRocque moves to Calgary at the urging of her college roommate. Maddie’s luck goes from bad to worse when she’s laid off from her job two months before Christmas. Undeterred, she sets up a gift wrapping business in the lobby of the Drummond Building in downtown Calgary where she meets Annie, a ten-year-old who has recently lost her parents.
When Maddie falls into the arms of the building’s maintenance man it looks as though her luck is changing, but she soon learns that Brent isn’t who she thought he was.
Maddie’s roommate Lily hasn’t fared too well in the romance department either, having been used for her beauty and Asian heritage by a man in Calgary.
The moment Chase Drummond spots Lily, he’s stunned by her beauty, but Lily resists his advances, unwilling to have her heart broken by the most eligible bachelor in town.
Will a young orphan girl be able to convince the two women that love is the best gift of all this Christmas?

What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
Don’t be too quick to dash off a book and put it out there. Even experienced authors make this mistake, and usually regret it. Write the very best story you can, step back for a while, re-read it, polish it again, and then send it for professional editing. Be prepared to so something to promote it every day. I agree with many successful authors who say that your best route to success is to write the next book.
Author Bio:
Mona Ingram was born in Ontario, Canada. Her family moved to British Columbia when she was twelve, and she can’t imagine living anywhere else. In recent years she has lived in the Okanagan Valley and on Vancouver Island. In addition to reading and writing, traveling and bird watching are among Mona’s favorite pastimes.
Mona’s first five books were published in hard cover by Avalon Books, which was purchased by Amazon in 2012. Those books are now available under Amazon’s Montlake imprint in hard cover, soft cover and e-book format, along with her many (thirteen at last count) self-published novels.
Mona writes contemporary romance novels and takes great delight in creating unexpected twists and turns in her story lines. She frequently sets her books in areas which are familiar to her, immersing the reader in the setting. One reader recently commented that “after reading Fixing Freddie, I felt as though I’d been on a trip to Vancouver”.
