Paranormal Yuletide Club Is Out NOW
This cozy, spooky, Christmas mystery is our first book sent out into the world
Our Christmas story is OUT NOW ON AMAZON.
Here’s the headline: it’s a cozy, spooky, Christmas mystery.
Think:
One part A Christmas Carol and Scrooge’s secrets and spirits,
One part cozy Christmas like Hallmark movie set in 1897,
One part classic monster novel and movie like The Invisible Man,
And one part gift given at the manger.
What’s the book about?
The Invisible Man’s assistant is sent to a mysterious mansion at Christmastime to steal a magical artifact before the stroke of midnight. Along the way he must expose a villain, reconcile relationships, get a shy couple engaged, and survive a monster attack. Oh, and might a young man that hates Christmas learn the true meaning of it by the end of the story?
What’s the true meaning of Christmas it contains?
At the beginning of the story our main character believes the lie that “Helping only makes you poorer and we’re already poor enough.”
But by the end of the book he learns a beautiful truth: “It’s the giving that makes you rich.”
It has been true ever since the manger and child, and is still true today.
Who could I give this book to this Christmas?
Great question, I’m so glad you asked.
It’s a great family read for families read before bed
It’s a great Christmas break read with a bit of advanced vocabulary for middle-schoolers.
It’s a great tea and blanket read for anyone readers of cozy fiction.
It’s a great spooky read for your goth niece or nephew.
It’s a great happy-ending lessons of Christmas read for your dad.
But really, it’s the perfect gift for anyone difficult to buy a gift for. Not sure what to get? Just say “Oh I’m supporting three brothers and a dad by buying their book” and you’ll win at least one “Aww that’s sweet.” Plus it will last longer than a plate of Christmas cookies.
What if I read the version last year?
If you read the free version I posted last year and you’re wondering if it’s any different, the short answer is yes. It’s still the same story. Many sections will read the same but it’s got some extra sugar frosting on top:
More typos caught thanks to editor Coen Royce, age 11
A new fun creature character thanks to the imagination of Anson Snow, age 6
A fancy new cover courtesy of artist Joseph Ford, age 13
Some plot holes patched and better stakes from the beginning, courtesy of me
That’s it! Thanks for supporting three brothers and dad trying to put good stories out into the world.
