The Christmas Mink and Other December Tales from the North
Woods brings the spirit of the season alive. In this whimsical collection
of Christmas stories and poems from the snowy north woods of New England,

In the title tale, THE CHRISTMAS MINK, young Will, worried about finding
a gift for his generous mother, receives a miraculous gift courtesy
of a talking mink. In COAL hapless elves Jeremiah Blizzard and Artie
Sleet must travel to Siberia to gather Santa’s supply of coal
for his list of VBK’s (very bad kids). Follow noble TOBIAS the

Join curmudgeonly old woodsmen, living ornaments, a congress of talking
animals, a horde of helpful mice and one grandiose moose in these rousing

Daughter of Statues
“Did I ever tell you about the time I found the end of the rainbow?”
So begins the story of Kae Elsu, a young girl, torn from the small life
she knew and thrown into a far wider world than she could ever imagine.
Her family turned to stone, and the only home she had ever known burned
down around her by an angry King, Kae must find the strength within herself
or die trying. Through both dark forests and fields of flowers, over the
sea and through the realm of dreams, Kae wanders, trying to find her way;
her only guidance, the visions of an old mystic: follow the setting sun.
So Kae does, chasing the last desperate rays of day to adventure and romance,
to people and places beyond imagining, to redemption, and to womanhood.
She is the Daughter of Statues.

Like a tattered string of paper dolls, maternal patterns reappear generation after generation. How much of a mother’s history is reflected in the decisions and challenges faced by her daughter?
Reacting to her husband’s affair with his research assistant, Sara flees her secure life in suburban Boston, uprooting her two children and moving into a family lake house in Winnesquall, New Hampshire. There, Sara’s life reels in unanticipated directions.
Living in a small cottage next door is down-to-earth single mother, Cindy, a local woman with little patience for ‘outsiders’ like Sara and her children. Yet something in Sara’s struggle pulls Cindy in, ultimately leading to heartbreak, redemption, and, through Sara’s actions, the fracturing of Cindy's hard exterior.
Worlds apart, the two women share an uneasy bond as they
grapple with inherited templates for womanhood and discover the distinct
garland of paper dolls lingering in the shadows of their lives.
