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
The Adventures of Fawn
continue as an evil former elf Princess is trying to destroy The Ona
Pendulum...a device that enables Santa, Wajic, his elves and reindeer to live
for hundreds of years. 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!!

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 am…how I need some friends…surely
they’ll see how much I’ve changed…how much more ‘mature’ I am now…whatever that means! I’ll wait for them to come home…and 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.”
