Excerpt from The Santa Shop

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, read the rules at Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along!

A quick holiday read from last week: The Santa Shop (The Samaritans Conspiracy Book 1) by Tim Greaton. I don’t normally spring for a book of fewer than 200 pages, but I made an exception for this Christmas story (and then discovered that 30% of that is an excerpt from the next book in the series). It is currently free (I think probably permafree, but I can’t be sure.) So, without further ado:

I gritted my teeth and trudged on, thankful there was no snow yet. Christmas lights glared from many of the apartment windows I passed. I was uncertain, but it seemed to me that the dreaded holiday was only a week or so away. Just the thought of it gave me a sinking feeling inside.

Tim Greaton, The Santa Shop

twitter santa shopSkip Ralstat is a man so steeped in grief and despair that life seems no longer possible. After the death of his wife and child, Skip blames himself. He has given up his friends, his job and now, devoid of all hope, he survives on the mean streets of Albany. He knows it can’t go on, that life must end…but will it?

In “The Santa Shop” we get our first glimpse at the Samaritans Conspiracy, a secretive group of individuals who are seldom seen and never recognized.

Also, don’t miss “Red Gloves” the second novel in this emotional, life-affirming series. With Maine teenage corpses stacking up and her life crumbling around her, Lead Detective Priscilla Harris seeks out a red-gloved stalker who is either a murderer or a saint.
