In Holly Krueger’s tight-knit community of Conspiracy, California, everyone goes the extra mile to help each other, especially during the holidays. Holly is so busy she doesn’t have time to think about what’s missing in her life until she convinces Liam Callahan to be Santa for the annual Christmas parade. Now all Holly wants for Christmas is Liam under her tree.
With a little nudge from their guardian angels, will Liam make Holly’s Christmas wish come true?
For over thirty years, I’ve stood behind the lens of a camera, capturing the heart of agriculture—wading through cow pastures, rice paddies, and sprawling orchards. As a photojournalist specializing in agriculture, I’ve told stories rooted in the land, its people, and their passion.
Now, I channel that same storytelling spirit into deeply emotional, small-town contemporary romance. My novels weave themes of love, community, and sometimes, the agricultural threads that have shaped my own journey. Some of you may remember me as Kate Curran, but these days, all my books are published under my name, Kathy Coatney.
In addition to romance, I write the nonfiction children’s series From the Farm to the Table and Dad’s Girls, celebrating the connection between farm life and the food we enjoy.
When I’m not writing, you’ll likely find me mountain biking, cross-country skiing, strength training, or out for a jog—though tortoise pace might be a more accurate description!
