The Ghost of Christmas Last by Sean Hayden

Throughout history, those who don’t keep the spirit of Christmas in their hearts were often visited by three ghosts. These wise spirits showed these souls what the true meaning of Christmas was all about.

Those were the souls worth saving.

Those who weren’t worth saving were only visited by one spirit and it wasn’t for educational purposes…

ONLY 0.99 Available at [Amazon][Smashwords]

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

And so begins a new year…

Hello my friends!

I know my blog has been very quiet lately. December was a crazy month with kids and work and Christmas and holidays. Overall I still had a fantastic holiday season! I hope all of you did as well.

Christmas was wonderful with my kids, parents, sister and her fiancée. The tree was nearly hidden by all of the presents. Us adults had great nights staying up playing poker and something called mexican train dominos (or something like that). Boxing Day shopping was loads of fun as well.

When the boys went off to their dads I wandered down to sunny Florida to refill my sunbeams. Strangely there was a cold spell and nearly froze my butt off. There was still one lovely day, and a visit to the beach was awesome. I was like a 6 year old running around picking up shells and playing in the sand. The ocean was cold, but I still went in for a few minutes, just because! I found loads of pretty shells, some coral and a bunch of broken sand dollars.

Overall I had loads of fun, and even had my first taste of fried pickles. Though leery at first, they were awesome and I can’t wait to have them again the next time I go down. Maybe they are available up here.. but I’ve never seen them!

I know you’re wondering…yes I did go to Disney one day! I haven’t been there since I was 10 years old. A lot was different, or I’ve forgetten, but I remembered some things and that was really neat. Again, I was like a 6 year old (but I could go on all the rides!) I have to say the Princess Castle is still awesome, and I loved how they lit it up at night with lights. The Electric Parade was fantastic, and so was later when they projected images on the castle changing into everything from a gingerbread house to flames! The best part was the fireworks. I’ve never seen any so fantastic! I wish pictures would have turned out.

So after returning home I’ve been spending the time tryin to get caught up on blogs and fb and twitter and emails. 0_o I’m still working on it, next comes dealing with a messy house. The xmas tree is still up!

I’ve loads planned for 2012, with Broken Aro coming out in October, as well as a number of shorts and who knows what else. My butt is getting into gear… time to continue my quest for world domination :)

Wishing you all a super wonderful 2012!!

Are You Ready for a Very Scary Christmas?

It’s that time of year again! If you’re looking for a fun (ie scary!) xmas read…check out this recently released anthology!

A Very Scary Christmas

Christmas is usually the time for cheer, but it can also be the time for fear, spirits and those things that go bump in the night. This year the scribes of Scriborium Guild came together to create a collection of short stories with a horror or supernatural angle and a Christmas twist. A strange and challenging creative venture to be sure, but one that brought together a brave group of writers and authors determined to spin tales for the festive season that gave more than one meaning to the idea of the spirit of Christmas.
This collection of short stories is the result and it is amazing how each author has found a different theme to explore, yet the stories within fit together well and prove that even with a tight deadline writers will write and rise to any challenge. Some of these stories are shorter than others, some are scarier than others. Whether or not these tales will frighten or unnerve you all depends on your own background and point of view, but each one makes for an entertaining read. So curl up by the fire and devour this anthology in one sitting or enjoy one story each evening during the holidays.
The Scriborium Guild is a new writers’ guild, each of its members helping each other promote their works, perfect their trade, and genuinely provide support to those who truly love one of the most solitary passions in any day and age.

Authors and their stories include:
Mark Sheldon- You did it Again
William Topek -That Holiday Spirit
Rosie Reay- Christmas Reunion at Villa El Figueral
Sean Hayden- The Ghost of Christmas Last
Athol Foden- Windy Lights
David Govett- The Christmas Card
Kyra Dawson- I’ll be Home for Christmas
