Book excerpt: A veteran Santa reveals heartwarming true stories and lessons from his twenty-year career spreading Christmas magic. With the holiday shopping season beginning earlier each year, more than ever. Americans are struggling to remember the true meaning of Christmas. And who better to deliver the gift of Christmas inspiration than a man who has spent the last two decades playing Santa? Sal Lizard was in his twenties when his beard and hair turned completely white. Today he appears everywhere from malls and parades to schools and hospitals. And— from his custom-made red velvet suits to the mistletoe that hangs from the rearview mirror in his Santa-mobile—he is Santa Claus three hundred and sixty-five days a year. In Being Santa Claus Sal reflects on his experiences with both children and adults including: Christmas magic is all around us: We don’t always see it, but it is there, shaping and enriching our lives. Sometimes you need to go that extra mile:Santa Claus is the one person who can’t even use a blizzard as an excuse not to honor his commitments, and Sal teaches adults the importance of always showing up for our children. Even a small child can make a big difference: Sal has met some impressive children over the years, and he’s learned that you don’t need to be a grown-up to make an impact on the world around you. In Being Santa Claus Sal shares these lessons, along with often heartwarming, occasionally heartbreaking, and sometimes downright hysterical stories from his twenty-year career as Santa.

But even in Christmastown, the holidays can be murder… April Claus is getting an early gift for her second Christmas in Santaland. Her dear friend, Claire, is visiting from Oregon, and April hopes to show off her adoptive country at its cozy, glittering best. But when the annual ice sculpture contest is derailed by a kamikaze drone-deer, it’s just the first in a series of un-festive events… Drone-deer, created by inventor elf Blinky Brightlow, are none too popular with the genuine, flesh-and-hoof kind, who are currently on strike. With no reindeer games to keep them in shape, Nick worries they may get too chunky to pull his sleigh come Christmas. Now Blinky is missing, his girlfriend, Juniper, is under suspicion, and between rogue reindeer and conniving elves, all of Santaland seems to have gone sugarplum-crazy. Add a dash of murder to the mix, and suddenly April is battling not just to clear Juniper’s name, but to save herself from being put on ice—permanently…

Later, a post evidently from the Slayer appears on the equivalent of Santaland's Facebook: "STOP HALLOWEEN IN CHRISTMASTOWN OR ELSE!!!" Though the local representative of the law, Constable Crinkles, doesn't take the threat seriously, April does, after someone attempts to kill her by sabotaging the workings of the funicular car she was riding in.

Book excerpt: Nicole Myers loves making and selling crafts in her spare time, and her greatest wish is to turn her booming Etsy business into something bigger. Nicole’s hand-painted Russian nesting dolls have become a hit at the morning market in downtown St. Petersburg, FL, and to her surprise, her work even lands her in the local newspaper. Nicole wants nothing more than to use her platform as an artist to help raise awareness for kids in need during the holidays and all year long, but, as with all good causes, what she really needs is money. Roman Regan is rich and good-looking, but despite his chiseled features and big bank account, he’s also very lonely. Christmas was never really fun for Roman growing up; for an only child who always got everything he ever wanted, the holidays didn’t hold any special meaning. When Nicole and her nesting dolls catch his eye, he is reminded of something he loved and lost long ago. Roman becomes determined to get his hands on one of Nicole’s hand-made toys… and maybe get his hands on her in the process. Under the guise of being a merchandising executive, Roman locates Nicole at the Christmas market and offers her a deal for her brand that she can’t refuse. Nicole considers his proposition under one condition: he has to help with the toy drive and children’s parade. With Nicole’s help, Roman begins to embrace a festive spirit and finds hope and comfort in her passion for helping others, but will she still be so warm to him when she finds out who he really is? This year, for Nicole and Roman, the true meaning of Christmas isn’t about dollar signs and sales… but about finding true love. Miss Claus and the Millionaire is a Hallmark-style, sweet Christmas romance.
