About Southern
Fried Christmas:
Love: purer than Colorado snow,
deeper than a Louisiana bayou.
The Colorado Rockies have always been home to journalist Kelly
Shepherd, but after the death of her father, and facing her first
Christmas alone, she accepts an assignment that leads her deep
into Louisiana's Cajun country.
Since his wife's death, Denny Labouve has focused his attention
on his ten-year-old daughter and the family business, but Kelly
sparks the dying embers of his heart even as a Christmas cold
front moves through his beloved Cajun country.
Will Denny and Kelly be able to trust God to bridge the span
between the Colorado Rockies and the Louisiana bayou?
What our readers said about
Marian's book:
* Such a FUN cover - and a Cajun hero...be still my heart!
* Wowsers, you're really making me pick between southern
fried and saving the world?
* They all sound like fun, but the cajun interest won my
attention! Good choice of setting Marian.

About Marian:
Marian Pellegrin Merritt grew up in a rural community south of New Orleans, Louisiana. Her love for the written word began while sitting on her grandparent's front porch swing reading books.
Her desire to write about the south keeps her grounded in her roots and the hope that one day she can do for someone what many of the authors of her childhood did for her.
She has a Bachelor of Science degree in physical therapy and an accounting certificate from the University of South Alabama.
She is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers and hones her writing skills by attending writer's conferences and reading many books on the craft of writing.
Southern Fried Christmas is Marian's debut novella. She writes from her NW Colorado home that she shares with her husband and a Labradoodle, named Chili.
