My Christmas novel, SANTA STEPS OUT....

NOT for the children!

In his introductory remarks, famed sf/f/horror editor David G. Hartwell called Santa Steps Out "the single most outrageous novel I have ever read."

And there are two sequels:

Santa Claus Conquers the Homophobes
and
Santa Claus Saves the World

I'm going to read it as soon as I get the chance.

Sounds good actually, because I LOVE dangerous books.

You should put up a notice in the DU Marketplace.

Thanks for the post.

For more exposure. The reaction there is a bit unpredictable; some might object to it as commercial spam.

it was reversed on appeal.

Unfortunately, I lost homepage exposure because of it.

I'm not gonna give away the plot, but Hartwell's right.

It'll definitely spin your head around.

Although it's definitely not the kind of out of the box writing that I'm totally comfortable with, I still recommend it highly!!
