Instead of a Christmas Card

This fun little book brings together in print for the first time two short stories that are just right for December reading. The compact, lightweight format makes the book an original alternative to a traditional Christmas card. There's even a special festive greeting from the author on the first page, with a space to add your own signature."Lighting Up Time" is a sweet story about a young woman confronting her fear of the dark on the night of the winter solstice."The Owl and The Turkey" is a gentle comedy in the guise of a folk tale purporting to explain the real reason why we eat turkey at Christmas. These stories are both available as separate stand-alone ebooks, and in that form they've both gained five-star reviews on Amazon, such as:(for "Lighting Up Time") "A delightfully endearing story of a woman battling her fears and finding a guardian angel within. There's a lovely self-deprecating tone to this heroine, and a deft touch with characterisation throughout. A ghost story to make you smile, not shiver."(for "The Owl and the Turkey") "Carefully crafted and entertaining, it draws you into the tale much as you were drawn as a child. You know it cannot be true, but can't help but enjoy the storytelling. Lovely."
