Welcome,

I've been preparing the first book of my many recent manuscripts to hit the internet book shelves. You should expect to see the first one to land on Amazon around the end of next week or the beginning of the next, before April 22, 2016 anyway. I'm working on the cover art and the book jacket write up. I may do a final read through although I'm pretty certain that I can't edit it anymore. (After you read it to many times it's hard to find the little smallest of things that need to be fixed.)

The title to look for is A Christmas Tale, the Lost History of Michael McDonald. I know I wrote a title similar to this, A Christmas Tale, and I'm not going to lie, it is a continuation of that same story, only forty years later. The whole story reads like a love story woven into the past of a man named Michael McDonald and woman named Denise McConnally. Those that read the first story already know the lost history of Michael. Its rather short and is available already on Amazon and all the other sites that sell digital books.

This new work of fiction explores how what happened to him when he was five affected his whole life. When Michael receives the Christmas gift, a simple box filled with sand, it becomes his turn to have his whole life turned upside down to discover love and the a past he can only remember as a repeating nightmare where a monster chases him in an attempt to devour him.

Just as the first book this one takes place in its entirety over the seven days before Christmas where his Christmas truth unfolds a little at a time over the seven days promised to him.

Denise McConnally is a woman who has been alone for to many years after a bad divorce. Michael is the best friend who helped her through all the bad years and it's her turn to help understand and discover a past she almost forgot about that includes him.

Denise had a grandfather that received the magic trick disguised as the Sandman the year following Michael's amazing journey. She had no idea until the magic came to her. She never knew she and Michael were connected as far back as children. In her discovery, she learned that this same magic trick changed her grandfather's life. He passed away as part of his Christmas truth. Her bitterness over his loss holds her back.

Michael is the lynch pin in this years Christmas truth. So many are affected by what he learns and he and Denise become closer than ever before because of it. It will make your heart sing after reading this loving tale.
