Christmas book: The Winter Before

The Winter Before: Set in and around a small hamlet in the midlands. The Winter Before is a Christmas Book about two friends allowed out on their own.

As the last day of school comes to an early close, they prepare to go full adult for the afternoon. Go uptown, have some food, buy some Christmas presents and make it home safely, what could go wrong?

Experience a simple, yet fun day in the lives of Max and Kenzie as they ignore any fears, ignore the pending snowstorm and even ignore each other sometimes as they embrace importance of staying young. It will be a day that they will keep memories close to your heart and trying to do what is right.

What could go wrong, as it turns out everything and nothing, depending on which one you ask.

A Christmas Book written for everyone that is growing up or has grown up; yes you! Written for Grandparents to explain to their grandchildren what Mum and Dad used to get up to when they were young.

Forged in the mind, written with love and delivered by one person. So please enjoy, forgive me the ramblings, the grammar and any punctuation. After 4 years I’m struggling to see the proverbial wood from the trees.
