But she misses her grandmother. And she misses the old traditions.
Fortunately, her grandmother sent her to her new life with one very important gift: her Yule log. Marta burns it on the darkest night of the year, hoping to feel just a little bit closer to the grandmother she left behind.
She succeeds, but in ways she never dreamed were even possible.
“The Yule Log,” a story of holiday traditions both old and downright ancient.
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.
