Winter Tales

Forty-three years ago, two teachers came out from behind their desks to offer hope and comfort to an adolescent afraid to take the first steps into adulthood. That December, I wrote my first Christmas tale as a tribute to the season of hope, to send to those people in my life who mattered to me. I have continued to write a poem or tale almost every Christmas season since then. This year, I thought I would compile all of those Christmas notes to create a book as a tribute to the season and to those who remain dear to me. I hope the poems and tales will resonate with you, bringing Yuletide messages of hope, goodwill, and peace.
