    About this ebook

    Jamie Hardrock, Chief Mining Elf



    What if I told you that Santa doesn't bring coal anymore? What if I said there was a much better surprise happening at the North Pole?


    Our Chief Mining Elf discovered rock candy! So now Santa flies by the naughty children's houses and leaves candy for the good children, instead. This endearing tale with beautiful and colorful pictures told in rhyme explains the little-known goings-on at the Hard Rock Candy Mine at the top of the world.


    Santa's message at the end of this story is a crucial one, reminding that everyone needs to share! Whether it is toys, games, or treats, the world is a better place when we share what we have.




    About Santa's Elf Series© by the author, Joe Moore:




    Even as I was writing the first novel in the Santa Claus Trilogy, I envisioned an entire world at the top of the globe. I knew the most die-hard believer in Santa Claus would realize that this magical gift-giver would need assistance in achieving his task at Christmas.


    So I began to think about who these helpers were, and what their responsibilities to Santa might be. Then I started writing. And to my surprise, as I wrote, the stories came out of me in rhyme! The cadence and beat of the verses were lyrical. As I spoke to others, including a good many teachers and librarians, they told me this was the easiest way for children to learn and that I should keep the verses coming.


    As Santa, I also heard from parents about their frustrations trying to instruct their children in the primary lessons of life; such as picking up after themselves, being polite, sharing, brushing their teeth, and so on. So I put a special message from Santa Claus at the end of each story about each of these lessons. Even complex problems like bullying, showing gratitude, and listening to elders get addressed in these books. It never hurts to learn these lessons throughout the year.


    I wrote nearly 20 books in this series, each focusing on a particular elf and their role to Santa. My wife and illustrator, Mary, is doing her best to get these magical tales drawn and into your child's hands. Since she works so hard fully illustrating every page and includes elements like shapes, colors, and even geography, it takes her a little while to complete each book. We have a half dozen released and more “in the works.”


    I have already heard about new traditions started during Christmas with my Santa Claus Trilogy and families. I am hoping that these will also become part of your celebrations.




    Make Santa's Elf Series© a new tradition for your family and collect the entire series. The following is a list of the currently published books in the series:

    Joe Moore is the Building Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer for the City of Marion. Joe has first hand experience with a city that had a high vacant structure percentage because of the loss of several large factories starting in 2003. He was motivated by the City of Marion's landmark case in the Indiana Supreme Court to condemn and demolish a commercial building on the town square. The Mayor of Marion, IN and President of the Council of Mayors in Indiana, Wayne Seybold, vision for the city to regain it's vitality by utilizing these laws to make Marion a desirable place to live and allow businesses to thrive has been successful. Marion's Building Commissioner, Larry Oradat, assigned Joe to spearhead the city's effort. Joe was able to get all the city departments involved and working towards the same goal of reducing vacant structures. He devised a process where the Code Enforcement Office coordinated the efforts of all the departments. The results are still coming in. The city has experienced decreasing crime and structure fires, reduced cost of maintaining vacant structures and increased property tax collection. The city is much more attractive to growing existing businesses and acquiring new businesses. The co-author is Timothy Duke.
