The Alien Reindeer’s Joy by Sonia Nova
Dashing through the snow is no fun when you’re running for your life…
For reindeer shifter Kaelar, Christmas means a lot more than caroling and hot chocolate. Without him and his fellow reindeer working for Santa, excess joy would go to waste instead of into the hearts of children who need it.Kaelar is committed to the season and the work that comes with it—even when it means working against evil aliens whose mission is to vacuum away all the joy the reindeer fight to keep alive.
With the happiness of hundreds of children on his shoulders, murderous reindeer hunters on his tail, and a group of vicious aliens stealing joy, finding a mate is the last thing on Kaelar’s mind.
Until he meets her.
Chloe is a doctor at a children’s hospital, and while she wants to fall in love and have a family, her patients are her priority—so it feels like a gift when a mysterious reindeer shows up at the hospital and brings happiness to the children seemingly by magic.
Could the visitor be connected to the handsome, reindeer-costumed man who’s been cheering up children around town? The man Chloe can’t stop thinking about?
All Chloe knows is that the man seems to be counteracting a strange joylessness that has shrouded the town.
Can Kaelar save Chloe’s town before it’s too late? Or will Christmas be ruined forever?

Rum Country by J William
Staring out of the rain-lashed window of an ancient British pub, Jake dreamed of adventure and a hot sandy beach. His best friend Billy was coming to visit from America, and he regretted planning two weeks in Bristol instead of somewhere… warmer.
At least Billy would lap up the history, particularly all the stories about the pirates who’d lived in the area. Jake pictured them walking outside on the cobbles, shrugging their long coats close to their ears to keep the cold and rain out, drinking rum next to him near the fireplace, and even scurrying half-crouched along secret-tunnels rumoured to be beneath the city.
Jake had no idea the next two weeks would not be spent in Bristol, in the rain, or the cold.
He had no idea what the drinks that were about to follow with his best friend would encourage them to do, and the secrets they would discover.
And he had no idea of the danger it was going to put them in.
If he had, he’d have run head first in to the storm and never looked back.
But he didn’t know any of that.
Instead, he ordered two beers and two dark rums as soon as Billy arrived, starting a journey that would either deliver them to paradise… or bury them forever.
RUM COUNTRY is J William’s debut novel and the first of the Undisturbed Islands trilogy. Book 2, The Antigua Trail, has just been published and is now available on Amazon, and work is already underway on Book 3, Caribbean Ghosts.
“Rum Country is a gripping Caribbean thriller packed full of turquoise seas, white sands, thunderous storms, mystery, adventure, danger, and plenty of rum.”
