An upcoming fantasy Christmas novella

The city of Littlemire had long succumbed to the heavy-handed governance of the regime, but in the month of December, bubbles of dissent sometimes rose from underground. These bold, and reckless groups met in subterrain passages and held meetings— invitation required— and planned treasonous events that, if discovered, could mean death to their leaders. What were the treasonous events? Christmas celebrations of course. Some of them were unfettered rejections of the Commissioner’s leadership, held on the eve of December 24th, and loaded with lights, trees, readings, even smile-inducing presents. These rebels were bold, but the secret service was more cunning.  With financially lean times came rows of peasants willing to document the whereabouts of agitators for only modest bribes, and one of those bribes had been taken by Wilhelm...

Thus begins the journey into Littlemire, where a simple, defiant act like celebrating Christmas could cost someone their life.  This short, sharp story is filled with romance, adventure, memorable characters, and a courageous spirit that will help you capture the essence of the first Christmas.
