TOUR SCHEDULE
Not your mama’s yuletide tale unless she drank too much egg nog or was born with a cheeky sense of humor.
Murder, mystical artifacts, an invisible demon with anger management issues, and an overbearing cupid—not what Rosalie Thatcher wished for on her Christmas list.
The holidays had always been a magical time for Rosalie, but not this year. Stephanie, her new manager at Penrose’s Department Store, is determined to make this season the most profitable in the store’s history, even if it sucks the life out of every employee. Introducing arbitrary rules and stealing the affections of Anthony, the cute temp Santa, were bad enough, but forcing Rosalie into the stupid elf hat was the worst. The worst, that is, until she meets a real E.L.F. (Elemental Life Form) named David and gets lassoed into a desperate hunt for the stolen Naughty and Nice List. Rosalie and David must dodge a murderous invisible demon and recover the missing artifact before hellhounds track them down. The couple race against time for without the magical guidance of the Naughty and Nice List, the world will tumble toward eternal chaos.

Excerpt
David shot bolt
upright in bed. He blinked, momentarily disoriented in the darkness. What was
it? What happened? The last thing he remembered was crashing after the party. He
doubled over as a wrenching pain shot through his chest. Something was taken
from him—something important. He stumbled to his feet fighting back panic to
clear his thoughts.
Chill, man. It can’t
be. I locked the vault. I’m sure.
He was sure, wasn’t he?
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead as anxious doubts surfaced. Without
hesitation David dashed-away. His teleportation took him in an instant across
headquarters to the other side of the building. He landed lightly outside the
repository, numb to the icy marble floor under his bare feet. He opened the
large metal door mindful the security system didn’t allow him to use his powers
inside the chamber. Dozens of secure vaults engraved with mystical symbols
lined the walls, but the only one of interest to him had a large ornate S
embedded in the front panel.
“Oh no.”
The door gaped open.
David darted inside, ignoring the treasures stacked high to the ceiling. He
stood transfixed in horror at a solid oak pedestal in the middle of the room.
The pedestal was
empty. The Book was gone.
David’s hands shook
with the dreadful realization of what he’d done. The Book had been stolen. The
theft was all his fault. How could he be so stupid? He must not have secured
the vault correctly. David shuddered with the knowledge of the shame brought on
his family. He had no way to atone for this. Once everyone woke in the morning,
they’d know what happened—and who was responsible.
The young man squared his
shoulders. No…not yet. He bolted from the repository and then felt for the
mystical connection, almost shouting with relief when the sensation flared
under the mental touch. He wasn’t too late. The link was weak, no doubt, but
still binding. He had time to follow the thread and return The Book to its
rightful place or die trying. He concentrated and felt the dash-away engage.
With a puff of air David vanished.
