A nice twist on the Hallmark formula Zig Zag adds his wit and creative contemporary style to the small town holiday romance formula resulting in a fresh and entertaining story. Enjoy!

Quotes by Milton J. Davis (?)

“He was standing when the man reached him. The man halted, a smirk coming to his face. His eyes focused on the cross. “It’s like the shepherd’s,” he said. “Who are you?” Changa asked. “I am Antoth. I seek the source of the power of the cross. You will lead me to it.” Changa smirked. “I will not.”
― Milton J. Davis, Changa's Safari: Volume 2

“Sister Amelia spun, a whirling dervish in the service of the All-Mother, removing unnatural creatures from the lake.”
― Milton J. Davis, Steamfunk!
