I couldn’t have been more excited and thankful that my new Christmas romantic comedy for 2025, A Ruff Royal Christmas was chosen by iconic Publishers Weekly for a coveted review!
Plus, how perfect that the Publishers Weekly review for A Ruff Royal Christmas includes a line that says, “A festive story that would feel right at home among Netflix or Hallmark’s holiday offerings,” because I actually wrote this as a movie first that we’re currently shopping around trying to find it the best Hollywood home.
“Schaler highlights the magic of the holidays in this fluffy contemporary royal romance. A festive story that would feel right at home among Netflix or Hallmark’s holiday offerings, and the addition of a chaotic canine enhances the fun.” — Publishers Weekly
After breaking my hand on Christmas Eve, 2023, while trying to hang Christmas stockings, I was unable to write. Turns out I’m not one of thoese people who could make dictation work for me. My brain doesn’t work that way.
But finally I could start writing. Slowly. Did I mention I usually write really fast? Slow was torture, but better than not writing at all I kept telling myself.
Now, finally, I have finished A Ruff Royal Christmas for you as both a novel and movie and can’t wait to hear what you think.
