Scrooged in FREE for the Holidays

Stan Hope never cared much for his son-in-law Justyn Patko.

His black clothes and body piercings were bad enough, but the ridiculous notion of dragging Rebecca off to Broadway with a new baby on the way pushes Stan over the edge. How much can a father take?

After losing his cool at a holiday party, Stan gets a visit from three unexpected spirits. Can they help to change his close-minded ways?

Let it Snow by CP Bialois is FREE on Amazon

George and Gretchen's marriage is on the rocks and a weekend getaway is their final chance at reconciliation. The only problem is their trip may not end like they hope or expect it will.

 

 My Thoughts 

Let it Snow is a quick, fifteen minute read that makes a lot of impact in less than thirty pages. George and Gretchen are struggling with their marriage, fighting all the time, and not sure they can get past the ugly things they've said to each other. George hopes a spur of the moment trip to the mountains will help, but tensions flare when they're snowed in. Just when it looks like they may have turned the corner, the author hits us with a shocking twist that takes the story in a unexpected direction.
