About the author

Joe Wheeler has been labeled many things: as Father Christmas because of his editing/compiling America’s longest-running Christmas of story series — Christmas in My Heart (now in its 18th season); as one of America’s leading story anthologists (56 story collections by twelve publishing houses); as the world’s foremost authority on life and times of the frontier writer Zane Grey (he is co-founder and executive director of the international Zane Grey’s West Society); as a biographer, having written full-length biographies of Abraham Lincoln and St. Nicholas and shorter biographies of Louisa May Alcott, Abbie Farwell Brown, Daniel Defoe, Charles Dickens, Lucy Maud Montgomery, Gene Stratton Porter, Grace Richmond, Henryk Sienkiewicz, and Lew Wallace; and as a Renaissance Man because of his encyclopedic interest in everything (popular culture as well as the academic); and his master’s degree in the teaching of History, his master’s degree in English (thesis on Utopian and Dystopian literature), and his Vanderbilt doctorate in English (History of Ideas emphasis).

Because of all these variables, and stirring in his 71 books (and counting), this blog series promises to be unlike any other — and that’s why he titles the series, “UNCHARTED WATERS.”

Reviews

[Joy Gerbode · Rating 5 out of 5]

Several really good stories, plenty to put you in a great holiday mood.

[Steve Campbell · Rating 5 out of 5]

This second anthology of Christmas stories compiled and edited by Joe Wheeler is packed with powerful emotion. I found myself lingering at the end of each story, letting it sink in and stir my soul. These aren't just cute Christmas stories that entertain. They are stories that keep us connected to the true meaning of Christmas as it intersects with human need. Reading these stories was a true blessing.
