Author: Christina Sinisi

Genre: Contemporary Christian Romance

Release Date: November 2023

As the daughter of missionaries, Kerrie Alexander has lived on Hatteras—an island in the Outer Banks—longer than any other place she’s been. When her parents inform her that the family is slotted to go overseas again, she balks. Her life on the island—her job, her friends, even the handsome hero in her Sunday School class—makes her want to put down roots.

But to do so, she’ll need to find a place to live, face being on her own, separated from any close family—something she’s never done before.

Firefighter and EMT Wade Hampton can face pretty much any emergency, except his matchmaking grandpa threatening him with disinheritance if Wade doesn’t get married in just three months. Not that Wade objects to the idea of marriage, but how does a guy who has no problem running into burning buildings find the courage to ask a girl like Kerrie out for a date?

She’s a role model for everything good, and he comes from a rough and broken home.

Not to mention, Christmas is right around the corner!

My Thoughts on Another Outer Banks Christmas

Another Outer Banks Christmas is a fun romance novel that takes place around the holidays in the Outer Banks.  I’ve never been to the islands, but I’ve fallen in love with them.  That is, I’ve fallen in love with them through books set there.  Someday I’m going to have to visit!  I have to see if they live up to the books. 

This is part of a series.  Normally, I would tell you to read the series in order, but you can’t with this one as the second book isn’t published yet!  Thankfully, this book, the third in the series, can be read as a stand-alone novel. 

Kerrie has spent more time on the islands than she has anywhere else.  You see, she’s the child of missionary parents.  When they’re called to move again, she doesn’t want to move.  She wants to stay here on the island.  Can she figure out how to do that?

Wade is having his world thrown around.  You see, his grandfather is going to disinherit him if he doesn’t get married by Christmas.  He puts out fires for a living, but he’s not sure he can find a wife.  Or that he’s deserving of the woman he wants. 

What follows is a fun story of romance between Wade and Kerrie.  You’re going to love this one!

Christmas in July!

Another Outer Banks Christmas is the third book in a series—but the second book hasn’t been published yet! Good thing I wrote this one as a stand-alone.

So…here’s the story behind the story.

In June 2019, I saw an email requesting Christmas novellas by the end of the month. I buckled down and wrote Christmas Confusion in three weeks. Then, excited about the story, I wrote a full-length novel for the second instalment in my Charleston series, Sweet Summer. However, my publisher at the time, Anaiah Press, said they had a full slate for 2020 and no space for a novel.

Rather than not publish anything for a year, I looked around me for inspiration and found it at my sister’s vacation home on Hatteras Island in the Outer Banks, North Carolina. We first visited after Christmas in December 2019. Hurricane Dorian had devastated nearby Ocracoke Island in September. Shocked by the damage and the businesses still boarded up, some of which never reopened, I wanted to tell the story of the brave people who live there—thus, Christmas on Ocracoke was born.

Now, I always seem to fall in love with my characters and want to get to know them better—and their families.

Hope of Hatteras (to be published later this year, date TBA) is the story of the hero of Ocracoke’s sister. Another Outer Banks Christmas is the story of the hero of Hatteras’ best friend.

As the daughter of missionaries, Kerrie Alexander has lived on Hatteras—an island in the Outer Banks—longer than any other place she’s been. When her parents inform her that the family is slotted to go overseas again, she balks. Her life on the island—her job, her friends, even the handsome hero in her Sunday School class—makes her want to put down roots. But to do so, she’ll need to find another place to live, face being on her own, separated from any close family—something she’s never done before.

Firefighter and EMT Wade Hampton can face pretty much any emergency, except his matchmaking grandpa threatening him with disinheritance if Wade doesn’t get married in just three months. Not that Wade objects to the idea of marriage, but how does a guy who has no problem running into burning buildings find the courage to ask a girl like Kerrie out for a date? She’s a role model for everything good, and he comes from a rough and broken home.

Not to mention, Christmas is right around the corner!

To finish out the story—why hasn’t Hatteras been published? My publisher closed its doors last November, and I’m working on my way to being self-published. My book was supposed to be published a week before they closed. Life always has surprises in store, doesn’t it?

Thank the Lord we have a God who doesn’t change.

Another Outer Banks Christmas is a sweet romance that addresses the challenges our missionaries and their families face, plus, on the other side, the fact that we don’t have to be perfect to be loved by God or other people.

Blessings, Christina
