    About this ebook

    HOLIDAY DIGITAL SHORT

    From the author of “A Whisper to a Scream (The Bibliophiles: Book One)” and “Until My Soul Gets It Right (The Bibliophiles: Book Two)” comes a heartwarming holiday tale of friendship and family.

    Sarah Anderson and Annie Jacobs have not had the best of years. And now, here come the holidays.

    Great.

    Sarah's husband Tom is stuck in Boston after a nor'easter dumps a foot of snow on the day he is scheduled to leave for home.

    And Annie is working hard at picking up the pieces of her life after a painful divorce.

    But, maybe with a little help from their friends, Christmas won't be a total wash after all.

    This holiday season, take a break from all the hustle and bustle, pour yourself a beverage, and have “A Bibliophile Christmas.”

      A Bibliophile Christmas

      God rest ye merry, gentlemen. Let nothing you dismay…

      Of course, men need not dismay, Sarah Anderson thought. What did they have to do for the holidays anyhow? Show up? Wow, that was taxing.

      Her husband slammed the lid of his suitcase. I’ll be back on Friday. Will you pick me up, or do you want me to take a cab?

      Christ, Sarah. That’s extreme.

      Friday’s December twenty-sixth.

      Christmas is this week?

      "And they pay you the big bucks? You’d better be here on the twenty-third. The boys would be heartbroken if you missed Christmas Eve. She lowered her voice. You have to help me with the you-know-whats. Let Tom think the kids cared if he made it home for Christmas all he wanted, as long as he returned in time to assemble the various cars and bikes slated to magically appear under the tree on Christmas morning. That was the one thing on her To Do list with the initial T next to it, one measly task among the never-ending items marked with an S."

      Four days? How the hell am I going to get the system up and running in only four days? He picked up his suitcase, laptop backpack, and phone. I’ve got to call Deanna and Shrevani and move Wednesday’s meeting to early Tuesday.

      She trailed him through the kitchen, family room, and down the hall. He stopped briefly at the front door to dial a number on his phone.

      She leaned toward him. Have a good trip?

      He merely nodded, shushing her, as he balanced the phone between his cheek and shoulder. Picking up his luggage, he dashed outside to the waiting limousine.

      Silly her, she had thought he might actually give her a kiss. No need for formal good-byes,
