A Novella by Saffron Amatti
For the first Christmas ever, orphaned city boy Tommy Kilbourne has people who care about him, and his friends Lucas Rathbone and Clara Jenkins are determined to show him the true meaning of the festive season.
Join them as they share traditions, winter fun, and the family Tommy has always longed for in a series of cosy scenes full of the wonder of Christmas, seen from the perspective of one who needs the spirits of the season most, and those who get to witness his childlike joy of festivities previously only longed for.
***
This short story is a supplement to the Lucas Rathbone Mysteries, a series of historical paranormal murder mysteries set in 1920s England, and is set at the same Christmas as the book Festively Fatal.
However, unlike Festively Fatal, there is no mystery in A Castlebury Christmas, and the murder in Festively Fatal is not discussed; instead, this short story is an intimate, personal look at the character's celebrations and the friendships shared at a magical time of year.
Perfect for existing fans of the Lucas Rathbone Mysteries or those who want to meet the cast without diving into the series proper, A Castlebury Christmas is a short, heartwarming read full of festive fun, sweet moments, and discovering the childlike wonder of the season.
Genre: General Fiction
