An collection of original Christmas tales

*Twas the fight before Christmas- an alien/earthling Christmas party. This short story was engaging and fun.
*Home for Christmas- paranormal/alien Christmas story about family and forgiveness.
*unwrapping the True Spirit – This short Christmas story is about remembering that Christmas is about more than just physical gifts.
*Christmas Trappings – what happens when aliens find out about Santa Claus? Hilarious antics- that’s what. Alex and Beth gave their hands full when their resident aliens hear the story of Santa Claus and take on the role of self-appointed protectors.
*The Winter Queen – the enchanting story of Kris Kringle finding his magical Mrs Kringle.
*Retired but not forgotten – when a case needs solving and you have to put up with the too cheery Christmas spirit of a partner – what’s a girl supposed to do?
*Sunshine’s War – when 2 people who should not have an attraction do, not even war can keep them apart.
*Wicked beginnings- This is Jareth and Hazel’s story. It was a great read with both of them skirting around the obvious.
*Magical Mayhem – Christmas for the supernatural is Halloween. This is the story of a snarky Keeper who needs to navigate the most celebrated night in the magical community.
*Seshka’s gift – Magical Academy with danger and battles.
*Searching for Thanksgiving – dragons and cat-shifters on an adventure to find the magic that is Thanksgiving.
I enjoyed every book in this collection. Each was well written and bought an individuality that was endearing. Highly recommend!
