My holiday short story, Merry Christmas, Miss Penny, is now available on Kindle. You may have read this one before (it’s not new and has been free to newsletter subscribers since last year), but now it will be easy to share with friends and family. It’s also available in print if that strikes your fancy.
A world-weary working man, a fiery-eyed foster mom, and a ghost with a plan for a Christmas none of them will forget.
Ryan and his crew of tower jockeys have just one job to finish before they can head home for the holiday. But when a mischievous group of foster children storm the work site, Ryan has to deal with their protective guardian, Miss Penny.
Although he’d like to ignore them all and be on his merry way, the sweet kids and their pretty foster mother are too touching to forget. But who is the mysterious, dark-haired boy who plays by himself in front of Miss Penny’s cozy home? And why does she refuse to talk about him?
As Ryan uncovers the boy’s story, he’ll need to open his heart and discover the meaning of giving so he and his crew can pull off the greatest Christmas present of all time.
A light yet heartfelt holiday romance with a touch of ghostly mystery, Merry Christmas, Miss Penny is a cozy, uplifting holiday short story filled with hope, heart, and the magic of Christmas.
