To some, Christmas is a time of family and love. But not Scrooge. After the tragic loss of his wife, Christmas became a beacon to grief, and a life long since lost.
Tonight she will return, but will Ebenezer have the strength to confront a painful past in order to save a once promising future?

With 1 more month of my Indie Paperback Plan to go, I thought it'd be fun to look back on all the gems I've acquired this year.
A nice variety of genres & styles that should keep me occupied for some time!
(Yes feel free to suggest what would be a great one to pick up for Dec!)

Demelza, a world-weary witch, and Uliana, an even more exhausted vampyre, work together to send wayward demons, ghosts and otherworldly creatures back to where they came from. But some jobs are more difficult than others.

It's TRANS AWARENESS WEEK and that means it's a great week to ignore the hysterical nonsense of bigots and understand that Trans people are awesome and deserve respect and love.

I’ll showcase my Backrooms-inspired labyrinth creature horror that I mentioned in the food question. Basement Floor 2 features a mechanic who takes a long elevator ride down to a dark maze of a basement with a wolf-like monster stalking him. Some space-bending happening.
