Add in her eccentric family’s crazy antics and the upcoming movie premiere, and her head is spinning. Trouble has always found her, but every choice she has made recently has served to place her directly in the path of danger, she really needs to get her head on straight. Before it’s too late.

When she isn’t writing, she works as a ward clerk in a busy ER of the local hospital. Inspiration is found in long walks with Trigger the German Shepard along the beautiful trail system she lives beside. Travel in the winter to tropical beach destinations is an addiction.

About Marley and the Transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge by T. B. Marshall

There have been a large number of presentations based on the 1843 Charles Dickens novella, A Christmas Carol, all revolving around the main character Ebenezer Scrooge. Without a doubt, A Christmas Carol, is one of the most influential and important works that has been the prominent backdrop for publications, cartoons, movies, TV shows, musicals and plays. It is also the most famous published work associated with Christmas, especially the character of Scrooge.Dickens provides enough information about Ebenezer’s childhood and events that impact the development of his demeanor.

However, he does not spend much time including the impact that Jacob Marley had on Scrooge. This is the reasoning behind this paraquel novella, to provide an interpretation of Marley’s impact on Ebenezer’s character, and why he was willing to participate, along with the other three spirits, in changing Scrooge’s attitude and feelings toward philanthropy and Christmas. Afterall, Jacob was a similar soul, one that did not care for others or Christmas similar to Ebenezer.

So why would he be willing to help change Scrooge’s disposition from a selfish old miser to a Father Christmas type figure?It is impossible to tell this story without using information from the original story, A Christmas Carol, especially dialogue between Marley and the three spirits with Scrooge. So credit must be given to Charles Dickens for matching background information and the conversations that are used. In other words, they are not original to this story, but are obviously needed to keep the continuity of the two.

About Little Gems Flash Fiction: Gripping Short Stories to Read in Your Lunchbreak by Karen Court

Little Gems are amusing, entertaining and thought-provoking short, short stories ideal for a quick read to fill some downtime, like your lunchbreak, waiting for a covid19 test, catching a plane, or maybe commuting to work. Each one is entirely different from the rest, most are amusing, some are scary, some have a hint of romance, and some reveal that karma really does come around full circle.

A heroic school boy learns the consequences of crying wolf, while one woman is caught in a very compromising situation by a camera-toting Japanese tour group.
Two young children cornered by a grizzly bear are facing certain death, and a woman learns that her axe-wielding neighbor is not what he seems.
The circus is in town and a terrified boy has to face his greatest fear, and a man tries too hard to impress his future in-laws.
A matronly nurse steals foreskins from the clinic but no one will guess what her motivation could be.

Some of these little gems are tense and emotionally charged with an unexpected ending bringing welcome relief, while others are just light-hearted entertainment delivering a humorous or ironic twist that you did not see coming.

Author Bio:
I have been a storyteller since I was very young. My vivid imagination has since been channelled into creating stories designed to entertain a wide audience.
Spinning a tale that delivers emotional growth, challenges to overcome, triumphs or humour in a small, complete package has always fascinated me. The tale must weave as many of these facets as possible into a little piece of fiction that still delivers impact or amusement.
I think, building a story from a brief scene that delivers a whole story is both exciting and challenging. And to share that finished piece of written art with other people for their enjoyment is the ultimate reward.

About Perfect Order

All my life, there was Lee. Then there was me.

One, two, we were inseparable. We grew up knowing we were impossibly connected while we were perfectly different.

She took to the spotlight; I, to the shadows. Our laughter brought us into the golden starlight.

She was my always. I was her forever.

The best of friends— we were a soul split before we were born. She needed the adoration of the crowds. Me? I played with chaos of a different kind.

To my horror, one of us joined the wrong game. I vow they will learn their misjudgment is to their peril. Because what was never left unsaid between us was how much I loved her.

I’m the last woman whose attention they want. I’ll do anything, become anyone, to get my answers even if it means turning my back on Kane—the only man who’s ever needed me. Seen beneath the skin to the true me.

He gives me reasons to believe I can put my trust in him. Because if I can’t, I’m as good as dead.

No matter how much my heart might now beat for him.

About The Weary God of Ancient Travelers by Jessica Stilling

While traveling on a Greek island, Lydia Warren, a late twenty-something American, who recently developed temporary amnesia, realizes that she can remember her past-life experiences, which help her discover not only her distant past, but the traumatic experiences that led her to lose her memory. All that Lydia knows is that she is living on the Greek island of Santorini, in a house she has inherited (although she doesn’t know from whom), with a man whom she calls David Copperfield because she cannot remember his name. Lydia has experienced a recent deep trauma, referred to only as That Night, which has led her to develop temporary amnesia. This book hits home with the #Metoo movement as the book follows a survivor of sexual assault as she tries to heal as she faces her trauma.
