A Christmas Tale (Vanity)
Myself

Posted on 12/25/2017 8:21:14 AM PST by Mr Ramsbotham

A Merry Christmas to all!

Last year I came very close to death. Upon my recovery I resolved to get off my duff and finish writing the Christmas novel that I'd begun some nine years ago, lest something should happen to me and it remain unfinished. A Fantasía for Two Lutes is a Christmas story in the Dickensian mold, set in modern times, about a man consumed by guilt and seeking atonement for a crime he did not commit. It is a conservative book, one that I was determined to write without sex scenes and vulgarity; a book that can be read aloud in the presence of the entire family. It is an allegory of Western civilization, and the perverse modern penchant our society has fostered for tearing itself apart over crimes it did not commit, against people who were never victims.

For the next two days it will be available on Amazon as a Kindle download, free of charge, a Christmas gift from me to all who visit this forum.

Once again, a Merry (and a Happy) Christmas to all!

You can download (free) Kindle for a PC - I didn’t know you could do this until earlier this month. It’s been wonderful!

I think this link will do it for you:

Just downloaded ‘A Fantasia For Two Lutes’ - thank you, Mr. R! Merry Christmas!

It’s available in paperback, but the paperback is a bit pricey. However, you can get a free Kindle reader from Amazon that works on most computer platforms.
