The Adventures of Fawn



About the Books
The Adventures of Fawn Book 1: ‘Til the Last Snowflake Falls
The Adventures of Fawn is a 'coming of age' series set in the magical world of Santa's North Pole! The year is 1849, and legendary reindeer Comet and Vixen have a young daughter, Fawn. In this first book, 'Til the Last Snowflake Falls' the young reindeer spends far too many days alone in the stable at Santa's Village with no friends and nothing to do. While her parents caution her she's much too young and inexperienced to go exploring outside Santa's Village by herself, Fawn disagrees. Declaring, “I want some fun and excitement! I don’t care how dangerous it is!” she begins sneaking out each day in search of friends, excitement and adventure. She'll find them all...but also find herself facing dangers like a fierce hungry wolf, a freezing North Pole blizzard, and the treachery of a sea captain capturing animals of the arctic to sell to a zoo in New York City. Along the way, she'll also learn some valuable lessons about what's really important in life. The Adventures of Fawn are filled with fun and excitement for all ages!


The Adventures of Fawn Book 2: The Ona Pendulum

So Fawn and her friends are off to the rescue to save Santa and company...Christmas 1849....and every other future Christmas, as well! In the process they'll learn how a young toymaker named Kristoff Kringle became Santa Claus, how he met the elves, and where his famous, "Ho-Ho-Ho" comes from. They'll also learn about the Rua Ondos…wonderful, magical shooting stars which fell to Earth on the very first Christmas. The Ona Pendulum is an adventure the whole family will enjoy!!

Book Excerpts

Excerpt #1 from ‘Til the Last Snowflake Falls
     Today was going to be the day!
     Fawn had it all planned out. The young reindeer would wait until her dad and mum, Comet and Vixen, came home to the stable, and she was going to calmly explain how unhappy she was.
     Sure…she’d mentioned it before, (more like every other day), but each time her bad mood had gotten the better of her and she’d wound up arguing with her parents. Each time they had told her she wasn’t old enough…not mature enough…to be going out on her own.
     Fawn had often pondered over their words.
     Not mature enough?!
     She wasn’t exactly sure what that meant…but just the same she didn’t like the sound of it!
     I think it’s like saying I’m still a baby! Darnit! I’m four and a half months old!!
     Fawn was convinced fun…excitement….maybe even friends could be hers to enjoy if she was free to explore the world outside Santa’s Village.
     I blew it those other times by getting too excited. If I can plainly and calmly explain to mum and dad how bored and lonely I amhow I need some friendssurely they’ll see how much I’ve changedhow much more ‘mature’ I am nowwhatever that means! I’ll wait for them to come homeand then I’ll show them.
     Yes, indeed! She had it all planned out!
     But sometimes even the best laid plans can fall apart.


Excerpt #1 from Book 2- The Ona Pendulum
     It was at that very moment…something very strange occurred.
     Santa and Wajic suddenly became motionless, and their faces appeared in energized broken patterns…almost like shattered, electrified pieces of glass. Every angle of the fractured pattern sputtered and flashed likenesses of them……but each one different. In some they looked younger…and in others, older…….and older still.
     Fawn, Bunny, Snowboy and Doctor Weather were all quite surprised and taken aback. They had absolutely no idea what was happening…or what they should do. The only choice they had was to stand there powerlessly watching.
     Then, just as suddenly as it began, it stopped.
     Looking a bit overwhelmed, everyone just stood there…watching Santa and Wajic.
     “Are you alright?” asked Fawn.
     “Yes…perfectly fine.” Santa answered. He noticed the concerned looks on everyone’s face, and added, “Why do you ask?”
     The Doctor explained, “Well…something just happened a moment ago. Very odd! You didn’t notice? You didn’t feel anything?”
     Wajic stretched his arms and yawned.
     “Come to think of it…I am a little tired all of a sudden.”
     Santa brought a gloved hand up to cover his mouth, as he also yawned.
     “Me, too! Hmmm. That’s very strange! What was it you saw?”
     Fawn, Bunny, Snowboy and Doctor Weather gave them the details of what they’d seen, and with each piece of information, Wajic looked more and more worried.
     Santa noticed.
     “What is it, old friend?”
     “I’m not quite sure, Kris. It could be nothing…or….it could be something! When we get back to the Village, I’ll head to my workshop and look into it.
     As he yawned a second time, Santa said, “Let’s just hope it’s nothing serious.”
