The Christmas spirit has never been so wicked. Whether you wish to be amused, touched or terrified this anthology has all the necessary ingredients. Humor and sentimentality are often showcased in this Christmas collection of goodies. The stories are unique but fans will be pleased to see some favorite characters. Here’s a look at some of the stories in the book.
Gift Wrap, by Charlaine Harris, finds Sookie Stackhouse alone at Christmas, that is, until she discovers an ailing werewolf outside her home. Not one to abandon a creature in trouble, Sookie swings into action. For those who don’t follow the series, this story takes place just after the latest novel.
With Lucy, at Christmastime, Simon R. Green weaves elements from his popular Nightside books into this tale about a werewolf crying into his beer at Christmas about his past loves. While the ending is obvious, Greens story still amuses.
In the story The Night Things Changed, by Dana Cameron, siblings hunting down a killer may seem run-of-the-mill scary, until you learn that they are a vampire and werewolf team. The two are part of the Fangborn, a group of creatures who eventually realize that the killer is among them.
In The Werewolf Before Christmas, by Kat Richardson, perhaps the most enjoyably wicked of the collection, this tale, from the author of the Greywalker series, features Matthias the werewolf. After helping himself to a tasty meal of Rudolph the Reindeer at the North Pole, Santa Claus ropes him into taking Rudolphs place.
Carrie Vaughn writes a story about Kitty, a character from her popular female werewolf series. In Il Est Ne we find Kitty lonely at Christmastime, right before she meets a werewolf in a Waffle House. They team together to chase down a killer, and in the process end up saving each other.
“You’d Better Not Pyout” by Nancy Pickard focuses on two ex-soviet vampires who discover an interesting truth: Santa is actually one of their kind. Being “Santa” gives him the ability to enter homes on Christmas Eve and return later for a snack deadlier than milk and cookies. This is a funny story which describes how the conniving Russians try to get a piece of the action.
In “Rogue Elements”, Karen Chance writes a police mystery set in the supernatural realm of Las Vegas which involves identity denial and werewolf politics.
This compilation of holiday-themed tales provides readers with a wonderful sampling of works by bestselling authors. Fantasy and romance fans alike are certain to find several offerings in the collection quite appealing.

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Hi everyone. what a great forum! I have an ebook and a web site, but have not quite set up shop because I am trying to figure out a relatively easy way to distribute my ebook to paid customers. The ebook is currently in PDF form and I prefer to distribute it that way if possible (without having to spend money on a compiler for now- as I have already spent too much money that I don’t have). How have you all been distributing?

And i know the answer already… I just want to see how other people look at it… Proper email marketing with optin, coreg, or survey leads is faster at making your site come up in the rankings… but are the rankings really what is important?
