Meet Deborah and Mary Jane. It’s six days before Christmas, 1985 and their night is about to get interesting. Perhaps interesting is the wrong word because, in a few short hours, their world and their lives will be turned upside down.
They are just two of the nearly 50 characters that populate YULETIDE: SIX DAYS AT CHRISTMAS. It’s a suspense thriller set in a small town that never expected what was about to happen to actually happen.
YULETIDE: SIX DAYS AT CHRISTMAS is available now on Amazon., both as a Kindle and a physical copy. It’s free to Kindle Unlimited members.
Curl up in your favorite chair and read a novel that actually lost me friends because of the sometimes graphic content within.
