Marley
The Ghosts of Christmas were alive to begin with. There is no doubt whatsoever about that…
But things were not well for the spirits. Victims to progress and time, to apathy and indifference, the guardians of Christmas past, present and yet to come have spent the better part of a century slumming it in a haunted dive bar in Reno, Nevada. It was up to Oliver Marley to save them. The words of his uncle would forever haunt him, "Tell me dear boy, when the winter holidays are over will you recount your encounter with a giant to your co-workers? Will you regale them with stories of a long dead relative stopping by for a cup of tea?"
Marley is a dark yuletide comedy set in Reno, Nevada and starring all your Christmas favorites like Jack the Ripper, Seshat (Ancient Egyptian god of wisdom), Argos (A hundred-eyed giant of Greek lore), Jacob Marley and, of course, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come.

5 books13 followersI like cheap cowboy hats and moderately priced wine. My favorite Velvet Underground song is Sunday Morning. I write one word at a time, one day at a time. What more could you possibly want to know?
