Meet Steve--a small elf with a big heart, looking for where he belongs. With a dash of magic, Steve comes face to face with the big guy himself, just in time to save the day. Written by nationally syndicated iHeart Radio host Rich Berra of The Johnjay and Rich Show, Christmas Steve reminds us that everyone has something to offer--no matter the outside package.

When two best friends, a giant and an elf, grow Christmastown's holiday tree, disaster strikes.

"Something weird is happening," cries Puppy. "Mum's going bonkers in the kitchen, and there are socks on the wall and a huge tree INSIDE the house!" "Relax," says Cat. "It's Christmas Eve - it's like this every year!"

"It's the most wonderful time of the year," the old song tells us. But that doesn't mean the people celebrating it are always so nice. Criminals get the Christmas spirit, too! In this collection of hilarious short stories, you'll see what the thieves, killers, psychos and scumbags are up to come the holidays...and it's not caroling door to door. Well, not unless they're casing the neighborhood for a break-in, as a rag-tag gang does in the title story. You'll also meet a mall elf menaced by a very, very bad Santa (in "I Killed Santa Claus"), a London police inspector hunting for the man who murdered Ebenezer Scrooge (in "Humbug"), a trucker out to save his shipment of Cabbage Patch Dolls from bumbling hijackers (in "Special Delivery") and many more characters you'll never forget. Originally published in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine and Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, these nine tales from award-winning short story master Steve Hockensmith (Holmes on the Range, Dreadfully Ever After) are sure to have you ho-ho-hoing from the first page to the last.

Join Steve Amerson as he shares an artist's glimpse from the recording studios of Los Angeles, from backstage and behind the curtain of the Hollywood Bowl and Carnegie Hall, to within the halls of the United States Capitol. The Hollywood Bowl, Carnegie Hall, Jerusalem's Southern Steps, The United States Rotunda-imagine singing in these venues! Steve Amerson takes readers on a journey of his personal singing experiences in these revered and hallowed spaces as well his performances in other exceptional settings. With more than thirty years of concertizing, Steve shares inspirational, entertaining, and behind-the-scenes accounts of a life filled with song. In these pages, Steve opens his heart and reveals the way that music has allowed him to encourage others and to glorify God. These are the Tales of a Troubadour.
