    About this ebook

    Tales From Christmas in the South, is a collection of three short stories. Enjoy laughter, tears, and the magic of Christmas in one volume. 

    Including the never before published, Miniature Desires. Spinster Ms. Stallworth has a hard time with the modern world. Bombarded with tacky blow-up Santas and inconsiderate children, she dreams of being part of the Christmas village she displays each holiday season.


    The Christmas Gift, is a bittersweet Christian short story of love and loss. Laurel faces the first Christmas without her husband. In her search for decorations, she discovers a gift left by her deceased husband.


    What holiday season is complete without fruitcake? The Fruitcake, is a humorous short story about the dreaded holiday classic. Retirement's not what Robert expected. His wife feeds him twigs and is afraid of mailbox bombs. If that's not enough a fruitcake shows up on his doorstep. Fruitcake may be a Southern tradition, but it's one Robert can do without. Find out how he deals with the holiday classic.
    Tales From Christmas in the South is a quick read just in time for the Christmas season.
