History as I Know It
In styles, methods, and ideas of Carol, Clements, and Milne comes a story that I hope you feel instantly at home with. I find it is similar to listening to someone telling a story on the telephone. Now and then, you know something has been said on the other end of the line. You know what it was by the conversation on your side. You have not heard it, but you just know. There is no doubt. With that in mind, this is a story that holds out the hope and joy of Christmas. It should be shared aloud while you are snuggled under something soft and comfy with someone you love, with a mug of something hot and sweet close at hand. If there are snowflakes falling past the streetlights, then that will be all the better.
The Book of Elf X (M. A. S. )
An elf living in Santa's Workshop-recently retired from productive service at the venerable age of twelve to become a full-time sculptor-lands a contract with Workshop's highest authority to create a statue honoring their long-absent founder and patron saint, Santa Claus.Unfortunately this elf, who wishes to remain anonymous, doesn't believe in Santa Claus. When X carves a controversial monument that ostensibly exalts but slyly defames both Claus and Workshop government she meets Tchotchke, a young orphan with a talent for finding whatever he looks for. Tchotchke's connections to a heretical underground organization, the Anti-Claus Movement, allow Movement members to persuade X to search throughout the arctic iceberg cavern for proof of Santa Claus's death in the hope of inspiring a popular uprising. What she uncovers with Tchotchke's assistance, however, is evidence of an even deeper conspiracy behind Claus's historical absence. With both Workshop authorities and the heretics at their heels, X and Tchotchke escape Workshop's floating confines and use Tchotchke's talent to gather evidence of Santa Claus's whereabouts at locations scattered across Europe and North America. On the way they face the dreaded Krampus in a bar, learn of Claus's origins as a young Catholic bishop, get worshipped by a tribe of elves posing as cats, and unwittingly foment an elfin revolution in an urban mall that threatens to tear apart not only an entire society, but also their friendship. Ultimately, the answers that X discovers in her search for the secret of Santa Claus only lead to even more difficult questions as her swiftly approaching demise forces her to choose between life or the one elf she can't imagine life without.

Miera, her body and soul broken by years of abuse at her mother’s brothel in Melbourne, Australia, is held captive by crushing poverty and her own sense of worthlessness. Deyon is insulated from reality by his unimaginable wealth. He spends his life in pursuit of personal fulfillment. One evening in a public garden, their opposite worlds collide. Deyon is captivated by Miera’s face and decides she is the “soul” he needs to bring life to his latest venture. Miera, repelled by men, escapes from him, but Deyon is accustomed to having his own way. His resources allow him to find and discover everything about her. He creates an elaborate plan to use her face in his advertising campaign, dragging Miera into his own world despite their wildly divergent backgrounds. Miera reacts violently by running away, straight into disaster. Deyon rescues her, and she finds herself in Perth, falling in with his plans. Though it appears Miera is embracing Deyon’s world, in reality, scar tissue is growing around her soul, insulating her from life. She falls prey to yet another disaster, and eventually her pain becomes overwhelming. Too late, Deyon discovers what Miera means to him, forcing him to acknowledge money can’t buy love, and it can’t buy Miera.
