Today we are joined by faith Moore. She's a freelance writer, stay-at-home mom, and of course a self-proclaimed Disney princess addict.

We're going to have to talk about that faith, but also the author of the new novel, Christmas Carol.

That's Carol with a K. You can get it wherever books are sold.

Faith, thank you for joining us. Thank you so much for having me. It's great to be here.

Yeah, absolutely and people might recognize your byline. You have written for the Federalist

before in addition to the

Wall Street Journal, the New York Daily News, Acculturated, Evie, all kinds of different outlets. Faith, if you could start

though just by telling us a little bit about your background, how you came to write a novel, is one of those

things that a lot of people want to do but don't always actually end up doing.

But I imagine for you there's a story behind it. So if you could give us a little of your background that would be great.

Sure. So yeah, being a novelist is actually the thing that I always wanted to do since I was a little girl and so all of the other stuff workwise has been kind of just leading up to this moment so I feel very excited about about this book. My main job, I always say this is not my job,

it's my vocation, but my main use of my time

is that I am a mom, I'm a stay at home mom,

I have two kids, almost three-year-old and an almost nine-year-old, and that is pretty much where I spend almost all of my time. But I get about an hour, maybe an hour and a half a day when my two-year-old is napping to work.

And that is when I wrote this novel.
