Read the RestFabulous Friday Fiction: Reverse Santa Clause
What if….what if Santa really did give out coal? Or worse…what if he took things away? I remember one Christmas, back in my rebellious teenage years, when my parents, furious at me, took my presents away for a day after Christmas, just to teach me to be grateful. True Story.

Read the RestFabulous Read by our own Lisa Jordan! Lakeside Reunion

The plot is perfectly paced, the tension delicious, the scenes rich with conflict, the romance spot on. She even writes and amazing kiss! And the wordsmithing – oh, the storyworld in this book is rich and adeptly painted, the dialogue crisp, the sentences active and vivid. As a My Book Therapist, this story […]
