To live again-- my first and favorite story
Stand-in Santa--a high-tech look at Christmas!
"Stand-in Santa" touches me more than any of my others because it brings bittersweet memories of my own father, who died in 2007. I wrote "Stand-in Santa" in 2004 before my father was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We had no idea he was sick then. Maybe the story does not veer as far from reality as I thought it did.
Praise for "Nothing but trouble"
It's a beautiful story that leaves me with a renewed assumption that "The more things change, the more they stay the same"! -- Shirley Allard, editor, Word Catalyst
