GABRIEL and ARIEL

2 Christmas stories from my stable of books 😊

 The dude in the mirror is trying to kill her!

Ivy moves into an overgrown cottage in the back of beyond two days before Christmas. She soon discovers that the old place keeps old secrets. The mirror above her mantlepiece is not what it seems. Ash and oil footsteps appear from nowhere, as does writing on a wall.

Is her refuge haunted? Ha, well, she’ll decorate the bejeezus out of it, overwhelm whatever it is with pretty baubles and blinking lights. Not everyone loves Christmas as much as she does, after all.

A good plan indeed … until Gabriel introduces himself.

Old houses certainly do keep old secrets.


ARIEL

A gentle tale about loss … and a cat.

This is Ariel’s first Christmas alone and she wants nothing to do with festivities. Her best friend extracts a promise from her to put up a tree, though, an old woman gives her advice, and on the way home she buys a few Christmas treats and, on impulse, cat food for the strays around her building.

These factors end up changing Ariel’s life.
