Christmas Short Story
Hi everyone,
Inspired by a contest in the Arizona Republic, I tried my hand at writing a Christmas short story. Problem is, the word limit for the contest is 750 and the story I ended up with is just too long. I mean it's only about three and half printed pages, but it's not going to qualify for the contest. So it's on my blog instead and I would love for you to have a look. http://alanhutcheson.blogspot.com/ |

That was a very short story, but I loved it. My Ted and Jerry were in it! (well, technically, they are your characters, but I fell in love with them in your book, Boomerang).
I could see you fleshing it out into a longer Christmas story. Nice job |

Geoff and dreams,
Thanks so much, I am really glad you like it. And dreams, please know that Ted and Jerry regard it as the highest possible compliment that you think of them as "yours". And I think it's pretty great too. Alan |
