A life of Creativity & Curiosity

FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR JENNIFER BARRETTE & HER REAL LIFE CARIBBEAN HUSBAND, JONATHAN BISSOON-DATH — A HILARIOUS, HEARTWARMING NEW TWIST ON THE SANTA CLAUS FOLKLORE! “A must-read! The Hangover meets reality TV, with a Caribbean twist.” — Ato Boldon, Emmy Award–Winning Broadcaster “Not since Cool Runnings have I enjoyed a story with such charm!” — Rawle Lewis, Star of Cool Runnings Jennifer Barrette is a bestselling author, transmedia storyteller, children’s book creator, and the mastermind behind the GET REAL ABOUT™ self-help series. She first entered the creative world illustrating Jonathan’s stories, but once she began imagining the worlds behind the drawings, she picked up a pen and never put it down. Today, Jennifer writes with warmth, wit, and emotional depth across children’s books, fiction, nonfiction, and screenplays. Jonathan Bissoon-Dath is an author, attorney, and former national team soccer player originally from the twin-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago, a background that shaped both his discipline and his storytelling. With Caribbean charm, instincts for writing action, and deep family roots in literature, Jonathan brings rhythm, heart, and energy to every project he touches. Their inspiration for this novel began when they acquired worldwide rights to the beloved Christmas song Santa Looking for a Wife, written and performed by Trinbagodian artist Bindley Benjamin. The song sparked a reimagining of Santa and Mrs. Claus filled with humor, romance, and a touch of island magic. Santa’s Looking for a Wife is their first novel as a writing duo, a festive blend of holiday sparkle, Caribbean personality, and pop-culture fun. Married for eighteen years, and parents to four children, Jennifer and Jonathan live in Northern California with their menagerie of pets.
