First of all, I would like to apologize because odds are, you are receiving this email on the wrong day. Why?
Well, that's going to depend on which newsletter you are receiving. Tuesday, I was unable to send my newsletter because of a minor health scare. (It's okay. I'm fine, or at least getting there. But I was unable to work Monday evening and all day Tuesday. I'm still not feeling 100% right now, but I really wanted to send this newsletter.) Thursday is Thanksgiving and Friday we will be travelling. So, I decided to send all my newsletters today. (Except my Monday one. You guys got me before I starting feeling ill.)
My second apology is for those of you reading my Choose Your Own Path stories. My Monday middle grade one went out no problems because that entire story is already written. I just had to find it on my computer, copy the story, and paste it into my email. The other three stories? Well, as you know, I write those every week based on your votes. However, last week, I just couldn't do it.
It's not that I don't love writing for you all. I really do. It's one of the many things for which I am grateful this Thanksgiving.
However, as you know, my family must come first.
My two oldest children are currently in eighth grade (#2 skipped a grade and is in the same grade as #1). Last year, I asked if they would like to attend "real" school for high school. They continued saying no until about a month ago. As soon as we started looking, we learned that we didn't have much time. Most of the schools they like had application deadlines last week.
So, instead of writing my CYOP stories, I was filling out half a dozen application forms, as well as all the associated financial aid applications.
I'm hoping to have the CYOP stories back by next week. However, now that applications are (mostly) submitted, it's time to focus on Thanksgiving and its traditions.
And I want to know:

Bad Elf and the Krampus A Twisted Christmas Tale
A Goth-elf, Jack is not like most other elves at The Pole. He hates the cold. Hates making toys. And he thinks Santa might be just a little bit too stingy with the coal.
Afraid he might belong to a darker side of Christmas, Jack dreams of running away while Santa is out delivering presents. He steals the Naughty List, planning to use it as a map to find his Christmas demon idol, Krampus, who travels the world Christmas Eve to punish all the Naughty Children.
But Jack’s dream sets him on an adventure that turns nightmarish. Using Goth-kids as bait, Jack finally meets his idol and discovers that he is on Krampus’ Naughty List. And Krampus doesn't play nice. At all. As a matter of fact, Krampus is downright evil…attacking Santa and dragging Jack’s kinda-sorta girlfriend, Candi, into the underworld. Can Jack rescue them and the Naughty Children in time to save Christmas?
If he pulls it off, Jack just might get a Christmas surprise bigger than anything he could have ever wished for. But as he would say, this holiday is just…so…extra.
Bad Elf and The Krampus is a humorous Yuletide tale. If you enjoy unlikely heroes, wild rides, and a splash of dark fun, then you’ll love John Rae’s rollicking adventure.
