Yuletide Tales: Short Story Collection

By Theresa Crater

Ancient mysteries. Sacred traditions. A little holiday magic. Because even world-saving mystics deserve a Christmas break. Or so they think.

Join Anne Le Clair, Michael Levy, their family, and friends for five winter adventures from the Power Places Archaeological Thriller Series, where the holidays have a habit of opening doors into mysteries both ancient and unexpected.

In Frankincense and Myrrh, Anne sends Michael on a Christmas Day treasure hunt through the sprawling Le Clair family home-where the final gift has been waiting centuries to be discovered.

In Festival of Lights, a family Chanukah celebration at Uncle Ezra's jewelry shop takes an astonishing turn when Anne, Michael, and young Arthur find themselves swept into the ancient battle for the Temple of Jerusalem.

In A Star, A Star, a brilliant new light appears in the dark Christmas sky of 2020. Is it simply an astronomical wonder-or a message humanity has been waiting centuries to receive?

In Cup o'Kindness, the great quest is over and the friends gather on New Year's Eve to celebrate. Then the Tibetan mystic Yeshe arrives with news that reminds them some callings refuse to end.

And in A Merry Buddhist Christmas, Anne and Michael are exploring the ancient temples of Cambodia and looking forward to getting home for the holidays-until that pesky Tibetan nun turns up again. Apparently, saving the world doesn't take Christmas off.

From ancient artifacts and sacred sites to time-crossing adventures and celestial signs, Yuletide Tales offers five stories filled with mystery, wonder, friendship, humor, and the enduring light at the heart of the season.

Some traditions remember the past. Others illuminate the way forward.
