Anders and the Flame Bearer

Genre: Fantasy

Audience: Adult

Tags: Fantasy Adventure

Santa Claus was one of them, but that's not where the story begins...

The klausen are a curious race: hardy and strong, yet always eager for winter’s first snow and a warm mug of soup. And Anders is sure he is the reason they are about to be destroyed. After all, he is the only klausen ever born without a power. So, surely, it’s his fault that their secret village has been discovered and the great flames are dying. If only he could gain magic of his own and put an end to all of this…then again, if the rumors are true, then maybe he can. But the Elders have been keeping a dangerous secret from him, and his forbidden journey is about to forever change his fate.

A fantasy adventure with a holiday twist. Perfect for fans of the Wilderlore and Percy Jackson series.

Sarah's Christmas Star

Genre: Picture Book

Audience: Children's

When her father’s sheep all get out of the pen and run away, Sarah, a poor, motherless girl, must go to Bethlehem to fetch her uncle to come help. Her father, who doesn’t like to talk about God – and doesn’t like Sarah to either - sends her off without a prayer and without much hope. But at least she has Rosy, her one little lamb, to keep her company on the journey.

Once in Bethlehem, one obstacle after another keeps Sarah from completing her mission. Discouraged, she spends the night with some shepherds in the field watching their sheep and is awoken by angels announcing the birth of the baby Savior. She goes to see Jesus and, after bonding with his tired mother, offers the young family her beloved lamb—the only thing she owns in the world.

Will her joy in knowing about Jesus, and her newfound trust that he was sent to fix things, be enough to help her get through the hard task of telling her hardened father that she has not only failed in finding her uncle, but she has also given away all the family’s money and her little lamb as well?

Even more unsettling, though, is the being roaming the halls outside of his door. Saddled with fear but determined to escape, he must figure out why she is there and what she plans to do with him when the harvest moon rises on Halloween night.
