About this ebook

The Bartender Who Saved Christmas, is a collection of four short stories about the man in the Santa Claus suit. Who is he? Where did he come from? What is he trying to accomplish? Can he face real-world problems and prevail?

In the namesake short story, The Bartender Who Saved Christmas, Santa is having a tough day. So, he stops at a bar open late on Christmas Eve to think about his life. Can the barman keep Santa’s head in the game?

Eli is a department store Santa whose world is falling apart. He becomes the subject of a bet between the spirits of good and evil. Can he save himself and change his life?

In the story, Interview, newspaper reporter Cynthia Smith is invited to have a one-on-one talk with Santa Claus. She thinks it is an elaborate hoax. But is the old man claiming to be Santa the real thing, and is his strange story even believable?

In Truce, on Christmas Day, 1914, a German soldier dressed as Saint Nick seeks peace during the carnage of WW1. Can he succeed in a world hell-bent on war?

These are not children’s stories about foggy nights, rambunctious reindeer, and crazy elves. These tales are for older readers who want a bit more plot twist than your average Christmas story provides.
