The Christmas Contest

By Theresa Sederholt

Donald Willows is dying, but has one last item to check off his bucket list. Hopefully, the enticement of winning his house and the magic of the holidays will lure in just the right person!

Holly Kirby was a bit shocked when she read the ad. The winner of the Christmas contest would receive a house! Knowing this might be some sort of scam, she still can't help but imagine all the wonderful things she could do with a beautiful house on Nantucket. Holly decides to go ahead and enter, hoping that the Christmas angels will bring her a miracle.

Jack Anderson immediately knew something was wrong with his grandfather after reading the ad for the Christmas contest. Maybe it was time to take a break from work and pay him a visit. Somebody has to talk some sense into him! Only, when he gets there, he realizes Grandpa's plan is already in full swing.

The clock is ticking but can Jack stop it in time, or will his family home be lost to him forever?

If you love Nutella…we’re already friends. I’m Theresa Sederholt, and I like writing. More than that, I love to tell stories. I write in multiple genres, but my heart, my passion, lies in writing stories that connect to those that have withstood dramatic personal experiences. I want to bring awareness and understanding by dealing with subject matter that is intimidating to navigate. On the flip side, I also like to whip up a steamy romance filled with suspense and sprinkled with mystery. Keeping you guessing with a twist here and there makes me happy. When I’m not writing, I’m cooking with my amazing husband, spoiling my dogs, or enjoying the rolling hills of North Carolina that are my backyard.

Jingle, jingle, jingle. . . That’s what I do; I write jingles for one of the largest advertising firms in New York City. In the industry, we are nicknamed the jingle janglers. Is this what I wanted to do with my life? Hell no! I thought I was the next rising country music superstar. The only place I was a superstar was in my own mind. I’m a thirty-three year-old in a dead-end job, going nowhere fast. I’m coming up on a three-day weekend—Labor Day, which seals the end of summer. I was hoping to be anywhere but here by now.

I grab a copy of The National Enquirer as I race down the subway steps. I can hear the train coming and if I miss it, I’ll be waiting forever for the next one. The platform is packed but I push my way in on the back of the guy in front of me. This is New York—no one gives a shit. After five stops, I finally get a seat and can now enjoy my guilty pleasure: the smut rag. It’s all lies and bullshit but it’s my only
