Excerpt
from MR. CHRISTMAS ELF:
The bus slid up to the stop near
the coffee shop. I hustled out the door and rushed toward the store, noticing a
guy reading the letters to Santa in the window. There were five minutes 'til
opening. I didn't want to disappoint Joe again by being late, so I broke into a
trot – and slipped on a hunk of ice. The sidewalk was coming up fast, but I
fell into the arms of the letter reader.
He smiled one of the most
adorable smiles I've ever seen and a cute little dimple popped out in his
cheek. "You smell like peppermint," he said.
I opened my mouth, stammered like
an idiot, and shut up. Mr. Dimple held me close. I didn't want to move. He
owned a very solid body, with unkempt, curly, sandy blond hair that covered his
ears and ice blue eyes that pierced my soul. I melted like a snowman in June.
"I'm Elvis."
"Hi, Elvis." I managed
to squeak.
He chuckled and helped me to firm
footing on the ground. "And you are?"
"Julie Erwin, but everyone
calls me Jules."
"So, you're the one with the
depressing Christmas list."

sitting at her computer plotting her next tale, she's enjoying the Southern
California weather. She loves movies, animals of all kinds, especially her
three dogs, and she's a big fan of mermaids. When she was young and saw the
movie Splash for the first time, she believed sprinkling salt in the bathtub
would magically allow her to grow a tail. She was sadly disappointed when the
experiment didn't work. If she can't be a mermaid, then maybe she'll just have
to write about them.
