Smorgasbord Christmas Party – Guest John W. Howell with A Christmas Story
Published by John W. Howell
I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two. I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets. View all posts by John W. Howell
Terrific story John. Haha! I hope Frank had the milk & cookies somewhere, else the deal might be off… 😀 Mega hugs.

I don’t think Santa would renege with no cookies. Lack of belief is another matter entirely. 🙂 Thanks, Teagan.

Santas come in many forms. Great story, John, one of your best. You make us see everything without descriptions other than dialogue.
