ALBA HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
A Romantic Comedy
Does what happens under the mistletoe stay under the mistletoe?
Reporting on Christmas festivals in Italy? Easy.
Figuring out her love life? Not so much.
On a work trip to the Italian Piedmont region for her travel magazine, Melina is still reeling from a recent breakup with Henk, her longtime boyfriend back home in the Netherlands. Between reporting on the delicious holiday food, wine, and hoopla in culinary hotspots like Torino and Alba, she's supposed to be there to sort out her feelings and decide what to do next. Instead, she keeps crossing paths with Andre, a sexy, guitar-playing, traveling American. Andre's moonlit serenades aren't helping to make things any clearer. One holiday, a misunderstanding or two, and a lot of laughs later, Melina must decide: is this holiday romance with Andre just the detour she needs or a sign she’s not quite over Henk?
​
Alba Home for Christmas is a charming, lighthearted tale of holiday hijinks, soulful connections, and the joy of embracing life’s surprises.

about

Dair Brown usually writes fiction under the name H. Dair Brown.
Dair
H. Dair Brown is a fiction writer whose short fiction has been published in The First Line and The Grief Diaries (so far). In 2019, her dark historical novel-in-stories, Molly Bright, was a top-three finalist in the Colorado Gold Fiction Contest. She is currently busy at work on a series of unsettling novels set in her small hometown in Upstate New York.
Dair also produces a weekly podcast (along with the occasional essay) on writing productivity. You can find The Rookie Writer Show on most podcast platforms. The Writer magazine also recently featured one of her articles ("The tao of the Three Little Pigs") as one of their most popular.
In an attempt to keep themselves out of trouble (and reading as many good books as possible), she and fellow author Robin Knabel co-host Unsettling Reads, a spoiler-free book review podcast also widely available on all the usual podcast spots.
Dair's dark, unsettling novels and short stories often feature storylines where secrets and dark deeds from the past won't stay hidden. In contrast, Dair tries to keep her real life nice and tame, and she's (usually) a pretty open book.
