    About this ebook

    So how DOES a kelpie, an ex-assassin high school librarian, Santa Claus, the Flying Dutchman and the Krampus wind up going toe-to-toe with a Martian Expeditionary Force in a highly unidentifiable flying gravy bowl?

    Why don't you grab a copy of this book and see for yourself?

    "If Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson and Robert Bloch had a three-way sex romp in a hot tub, and then a team of scientists came in and filtered out the water and mixed the leftover DNA into a test tube, the resulting genetic experiment would most likely grow up into Steve Vernon." - Bookgasm

    Everybody always wants a peek at the man behind the curtain. They all want to see just exactly what makes an author tick.Which ticks me off just a little bit - but what good is a lifetime if you can't ride out the peeve and ill-feeling and grin through it all. Hi! I am Steve Vernon and I'd love to scare you. Along the way I'll try to entertain you and I guarantee a giggle as well.If you want to picture me just think of that old dude at the campfire spinning out ghost stories and weird adventures and the grand epic saga of how Thud the Second stepped out of his cave with nothing more than a rock in his fist and slew the mighty saber-toothed tiger.If I listed all of the books I've written I'd most likely bore you - and I am allergic to boring so I will not bore you any further. Go and read some of my books. I promise I sound a whole lot better in print than in real life. Heck, I'll even brush my teeth and comb my hair if you think that will help any.For more up-to-date info please follow my blog at:http://stevevernonstoryteller.wordpress.com/And follow me at Twitter:@StephenVernonyours in storytelling,Steve Vernon

      KELPIE SNOW

      I’M SORRY, SANTA, I said. But you are really going to have to pull up your pants.

      All right, so maybe I ought to start this whole story right at the very beginning.

      It was Christmas Eve, about three hours before midnight and I just couldn’t sleep. I really needed to go for a walk. I had things on my mind, things that were hard to forget. I had tried to sleep on it but my mind just wouldn’t let me stop thinking for long enough to forget.

      Have you ever had a night like that? When your mind just kept running and running over the same damned thought.

      Thoughts like, why hadn’t I been there to save my son?

      Why hadn’t I seen it coming?

      It was an old story and I am not going to tell it to you again.

      For now I just wanted to forget.

      My name is Lady Cordelia Macbeth.

      Yes, just like that Lady Macbeth. No, there is no particular familial relationship between myself and that dagger-wielding lady that William Shakespeare wrote about. Assuming he ever wrote about her in the first place. I guess there is some sort of a big public scandal going on lately concerning the actual writer of some of Mr. William Shakespeare’s plays – but I am afraid that I just can’t really tell you all of the details behind that particularly much-tweeted scandal.

      I ought to be able to tell you all about that particular news story. After all, I am a high school public librarian and I am supposed to know about things like that, only teachers don’t teach all that much Shakespeare in high school anymore. People don’t really believe in Shakespeare any more than they believe in Santa Claus, which is a thought that really makes me want to hit somebody.

      Not anybody in particular you understand. I just wanted to hit somebody hard enough to make me forget about
