FIRST LINE FRIDAY – CHRISTMAS AT BLUE MOUNTAIN LODGE by ROBIN E. MASON

THE BOOK

* because my writing has been on (unintentional) hiatus, and I’m diving back into my current WIP, starting the year focused on my books

THE BLURB

When Christmas is everything familiar yet everything new.

That first year at Blue Heron Inn was one disaster after another, starting with the fire at Blue Mountain Lodge, where the Elliott and Everett families had been spending their Christmas holiday. And the scramble to locate a site that could host their generous number—and that was available for immediate-ish holiday booking—was just the first of a series of unfortunate events. Then the following year was the confusion of a whole new set of family members at Blue Spruce Chalet. And the grand adventure of Christmas at Blue Macaw Resort in Hawaii the year after that.

But, as the line in the movie says, “There’s no place like home.”

And Blue Mountain Lodge, near the hamlet of Mercy Mountain, North Carolina, was the Christmas home to the Elliott and Everett families.

Only now everything felt different. New.

But, as the hoard of Elliotts and Everetts, joined by the generous troupe of Griffins, settles in to this year’s holiday stay at Blue Mountain Lodge, the familiar settled over them. Even the Griffins, who had not been to Blue Mountain before.

Can the families, who were strangers just a few years ago, navigate the old-is-now-new lodge? And can home truly feel like home again?

THE FIRST LINE

“Wow! Look at this place.”

THE AUTHOR

“I’ve always had voices—er, stories in my head. I once said I should write them all down so someone could write them someday. I had no idea at the time that someone was me!”

My stories are deep and dark, my characters raw and real, with a healthy helping of hope and joy, humor and laughter, and abiding and sustaining faith.

My characters struggle in some way for their identity. Their stories are their journey to know who God created them to be.

There is also a strong element of friends, family, and faith in all my stories, and the difference it makes to have such a support system.
