FREE EBOOK: Theft of the Magi

 

Hello there, readers and friends. I hope your autumn is filled with crisp breezes, pretty leaves, and pumpkin spice everything. Sometimes Arkansas will grace us with a nice cool breeze, and the leaves are changing into things of beauty. But that isn’t the point of this post. I wanted to pop in quickly to let you all know that my novella, Theft of the Magi, will be free to download in the Kindle store, 10/27-10/31. This Christmas story and homage to the beloved O. Henry short story, The Gift of the Magi, is a companion to the Fiona Clery Mysteries. It’s filled with yuletide cheer, mystery and intrigue, a mischievous stray cat, and a gift-giving mishap or two. Read further for the full synopsis.

 

This holiday season, the halls are decked with thievery.

 

It’s Christmas, 1922, and Fiona Clery has visions of festive celebrations filled with family and friends dancing through her head. Yet when a string of thefts occurs within her apartment building, the chill of winter puts a damper on her yuletide plans. One by one, various items go missing from her neighbors’ flats. With the help of her friend Max Gillespie and her roommate Rose Ellington, Fiona investigates the thefts. Soon she believes she has the mystery figured out, yet when things take a turn, all her ideas are called into question.

 

And as Christmas day approaches, Fiona and Max struggle to find gifts for one another. Money is tight and both wish they could find just the right present. Under Rose’s guidance, each believes they’ve found the perfect gift, though it will come at a price.
