Rolynda Tassan Author Interview

Lucy’s First Christmas is the heartwarming tale of Lucy the rescue cat’s first Christmas with her adoptive family. There is so many directions to take a holiday story, how did you settle on this story line?

Having a new pet during the holiday season can be stressful for them, the established pets, and the family. The family dynamic changes with the additional family member. I wanted to show that there is plenty of room and love to go around.

I felt like there was a lot of love and truth in this story. Did you take anything from your own life and put it in this story?

Oh yes! Lucy’s antics all happened. From playing with the Christmas tree decorations, to “helping” me wrap Christmas presents, to playing in the snow. She did it all! But in the end her favorite place to be is curled up on our laps or snuggling with one of our other pets 🙂

Do you find that pets are usually extra curious around the holidays when humans are decorating?

Absolutely, the sights, scents, and sounds that go along with the holiday season are very enticing to pets. The constant activity peeks their curiosity even more. That’s why it’s so important to take extra safety precautions for your pets during the holiday season.

What is the next book that you are working on and when will it be available?

The fourth book in the Lucy’s Tale series, Lucy goes to the Vet, will be available spring 2018.
