Dear Santa,

This year I’ve no big list of wants for myself. I’m blessed and content. So this year, I’m reminding you there’s an unlimited supply of my short story, Home for Christmas, to distribute freely to older teens and adults through December 25th.

All you have to do is leave a note under the tree for readers to go to my Carol Burnside books page, find their favorite retailer listed under Home for Christmas, and download it – FREE!

Now Santa, I know you have many children on your list and many elves hard at work, but the U.S. Marines will help you, too. For the less fortunate, I contributed new, unwrapped toys to Toys for Tots. I know those handsome, uniformed, strapping, heroic—Whew! It’s warm in here.—  and sexy Marines will make sure you get them before you take your around-the-world ride. I’m also reminding my friends to contribute so more needy children will receive a gift.

Oh, and Santa? Don’t get so busy with your duties that you forget Mrs. Klaus! Download a copy of Home for Christmas for her e-reader too. If she likes babies and the holidays (Who doesn’t?), she may also like my novel NOBODY’S BABY which has a Christmas ending.

Happy Holidays!

Carol / Annie
