    About this ebook

    Kyle is struggling to run his coffee shop on his own after his partner walked out on him. He has his eye on Steven, who comes into the shop each day, but hasn’t worked up the nerve to express his interest. When Steven asks Kyle to help out with Christmas lunch at the homeless shelter where he works, Kyle is too exhausted to agree. He donates his tips but still feels he’s blown his chances with Steven and made himself look like a selfish jerk.

    On Christmas Day, Kyle sees a way to make amends—to both Steven and the needy people depending on his kindness. It’s the right thing to do, and Kyle hopes he can clear up the misunderstanding and show Steven the type of man he really is. Maybe then they can consider some dessert when the lunch at the shelter is over….

    A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2017 Advent Calendar "Stocking Stuffers."

      The Money Box

      Jun 10, 2022

      This is not a morality tale. It’s simply a story. It began innocently enough, over a lunch of beef pho in the Financial District, when my friend Paolo first mentioned the Money Box. Paolo was a pupa of industry then, waiting to emerge as a titan. He

      Tis The Season To SLOW DOWN

      This is my favourite time of year. I love everything about it: the twinkly lights, the sprigs of mistletoe, the smell of satsumas. Last December I was told to nibble a carrot and claim Rudolf had been feeling peckish. Hell, I’d nailed Santa’s brandy,
