There’s no better way to spend a winter day than with friends—those favorite characters who can be trusted to always take us along on another incredible adventure.
Books have long been the cornerstone of my Christmas mornings. It started with a stocking full of comics that I could only peruse for the pictures, then for my first forays into Dr. Seuss and my beloved Roald Dahl. And, finally, into Steven King, James Clavell, and Trevanian.
Those characters felt as real to me as family, neighbors, and classmates. Sometimes, I went along for the ride. Other times, I put myself directly into the shoes of John Blackthorne, Nicholai Hel, or Jason Bourne. Either way, it was as much a part of the magic of the season as Santa and his reindeer.
My Christmas wish is that you find a book under the tree that casts a spell you never escape.
Happy Holidays!
