A couple of quick plugs and then I'm off to work!
If you're looking for Christmas gifts for children, seek no more! Here's two BryonySeries book recommendations:
Bertrand the Christmas Surprise is picture book about a crocheted mouse who decides to wait for Santa.
Cornell Dyer and the Flu (third grade and up) is a spoof on Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol. It's Christmas Eve and Cornell dyer, supernatural super sleuth, is sick in the hospital with a mysterious flu that's causing some very strange symptoms. One of the patients takes him on an even stranger journey, leaving Cornell with a life-altering decision to make.
For the adults on your list, why not buy Before the Blood? It's rich world-building and character development tucked into 804 pages makes it great for a long winter's read.
Finally, if you're looking for some free Christmas stories to read, try this post. It contains eight excerpts from the BryonySeries, with a common theme of Christmas. I posted it last year, and it's received views every day ever since.
Have a great day, readers, writers, and BryonySeries fans! :)
