Just in time for the holidays! A brand new, family-friendly tale that’s sure to find a welcome spot in any family’s traditions. Find out what’s happened to Santa and his crew at the North Pole. You’ve never heard any of it told like this!
Also new this year: A sequel to my popular paranormal, WWII, action/adventure Oh, Bits! The new story, Voices, takes place quite a few years later, but much of the same craziness is still going on.
It’s now available at Amazon. Or, make it a gift–order a signed copy from me!
