Every year, I write a Christmas-themed story as a gift to my readers. Here’s the list so far:
The Boat Beggars
Eve of Cooperation
Christmas Lost and Found
O Little Town of Brenton
The Lamb Cove Promise
A Christmas Kayak

And here’s a story called Sam and the Swamp Rats. I wrote it for my nephew, back when he looked like this:
