Fruitcake, Festivities and Firelight
Mayelana nale ebook
The fantasy “First Light” tells the story of when a modern mom-to-be meets a white-bearded man who might more than just look like Santa Claus.
“Long Night’s Moon” features romance and crime both, set on the first New Year’s Eve after the repeal of Prohibition.
In the time travel fantasy “The Yule Log,” a girl in 19th century northern Minnesota finds a way to spend the darkest night of the year with her grandmother back in Norway. A very dangerous way.
“On a Cold Winter’s Night” tells a darker kind of Christmas story, one sure to linger in your mind long after the last word concludes.
And finally “First the Fruitcake,” a tale of icy roads, gangsters, and the importance of the right ingredients when making proper fruitcake.
Five tales of fruitcake, festivities and firelight, all guaranteed to delight you.

Cate Martin loves to mix mysteries and magic. And she does it a lot. Like in all three of her witch mystery novels series: The Witches Three Cozy Mysteries, The Viking Witch Cozy Mysteries and The Weal and Woe Bookshop Witch Mysteries. She also loves to mix mysteries and history. Whether that’s 1930s St. Paul, Minnesota like in her Dorothy Lundegaard P.I. short fiction series, or whether it’s ninth century Norway like in her Ljota and Kiallakr short fiction series. She even loves her mystery straight up, no chaser, like much of her fiction which has appeared in the quarterly magazine Mystery, Crime and Mayhem. And her alter ego Kate MacLeod has even been known to mix mystery with her science fiction. You can learn more about her work at CateMartin.com and at RatatoskrPressBooks.com.
