Christmas at Mulberry Inn - A Novella
Several years ago I wrote a short story for a holiday anthology book called “Merry & Bright: Six tales of Christmas Cheer.”
It was my first time writing a Christmas-inspired book and it was fun to create! The publisher who published this book has since closed, and I decided to publish the story on Wattpad for the season. I wrote it shortly after I published “Heartbreak Cake,” so it has been a while.
Reading old stories can be a bit like reading an old journal, a peek into the past.
But it’s a sweet story that was inspired by my time as a food writer in Central California. I fell in love with all of the towns in the Sierra Neveda Foothills, also known as Gold Country.
I used to love taking drives to these towns and feel transported to a scene in a Mark Twain novel. Really magical! I hope to make it back here one day soon.
In the meantime, we can enjoy a bit of places that we can’t get to at the moment through reading.

““I lean against the frame of the barn door, mesmerized by the hundreds of Christmas lights hung up across the ceiling of the barn that glimmer like fireflies.”
Christmas at Mulberry Inn
Saffron Chatterjee has escaped to the snowy mountain top of the Sierra Nevada Foothills to spend Christmas with her best friend who owns and runs Mulberry Inn.
The rustic bed and breakfast Inn is exactly where she needs to be as she mends a broken heart, signs her divorce papers and attempts to eat her weight in eggnog pancakes. But what's Christmas without a little romance and baking?
Mark James left the small California town of Murphy's right after high school, and hasn't wanted to come home since. But he's arrived at Mulberry Inn to spend time with his brother and niece and also to be a part of the town's annual “Christmas on the Hill” where anything can happen when two strangers meet under the twinkle of holiday magic.
