Yes, friends, another year has almost come to an end --
we hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

2007 was a big year for me as a novelist: My end-times(ish)
comedy-thriller TRIBULATION HOUSE came out to great
reviews. On top of that, it became my first large print title.
Ask for either version wherever funny crime fiction is sold.

Because we love you so very much, we want you all to
have a lovely (belated) Christmas present -- so we are
giving you an EXCLUSIVE sneak peek at a brand-new
short story I co-wrote with my lovely wife, Erica.

(This is, in fact, the WORLD PREMIERE of our new
husband-and-wife sleuth series.)

How this will work:

1) Shortly after the new year, we will upload the story
to the message board for a limited time.

2) When it is uploaded, you will receive an announcement
from Yahoo! Groups.

3) You can download the pdf file and read it at your leisure.

4) Enjoy! (Actually, this last step is optional. But we
really do hope you like it.

Well, I think that about covers it for this time. Thanks for
your friendship! We wish you all the blessings for this
holiday season -- and a wonderful 2008!

-Chris
