We've been doing Signings and Readings now as much as possible since the book was released...official release date was November 6th when I found it had been made available on AMAZON at that time.  When did it actually become released - unknown.  I just know the soft cover was first made available, the hard copy made available soon after that...then the Kindle and Nook and iTunes after that.  No idea how well on-line sales have been doing.  For myself, not doing too badly, could've been better if the Press Release had been put out sooner than it did.  As it is, the Christmas season is done, now - but the book fits more than just a holiday reading format.  Santa's adventures go all the year around.  2019 I will have to somehow LAUNCH the book again.

I think I'm ready to begin!

THE HARD COPY versions of THE NEVER BEFORE FOUND CHRONICLES of SANTA have finally arrived!  A bit late.

I now have a website:  http://covenantbooks.com/books/?book=the-never-before-found-chronicles-of-santa  and a YouTube presentation: https://youtu.be/34ATO8SWLNM  !!!
You did know you can get the book, THE NEVER BEFORE FOUND CHRONICLES of SANTA on-line at both AMAZON and BARNES&NOBLE as well as APPLE...!!!  The book is also now on KINDLE and NOOK with downloads from Apple to iPhone and iPad formats, too!  I've also noted there are other bookstores here and there now offering it on-line - you just have to search it out.  Barnes and Noble stores - nope, just on-line.
So, I hope you find it!  We've done some readings to a local school (K-5) and the kids are loving the stories!  Hope you do, too!

You can go to AMAZON.com and online with BARNES & NOBLE and find both hard and softy copy versions of THE NEVER BEFORE FOUND CHRONICLES of SANTA - a 6"x9" collection of Santa's adventures in sixteen short stories for, "kids from one to ninety-two".  GET YOURS TODAY!

Getting things all set for the launch of my book, THE NEVER BEFORE FOUND CHRONICLES OF SANTA!!!!  There have been lots of delays and each time it's been a push...right now, waiting for the HC 'review proof'. SC was reviewed and was just fine.  I'm trying to get books ordered to fill pre-orders and some more for the holidays.  Wish me luck!  GG

Well, the publisher has just got the final, 'OK' and I'll be sent actual 'physical' copies of my book, THE NEVER BEFORE FOUND CHRONICLES of SANTA...I will probably be able to take pre-orders but the bookstores will not be able to get them on their shelves on time for this Christmas.  So, through those distributors it won't be available until 2019.  Even so, I was told I'd be able to get my books in hand by a week before Christmas! THANK YOU hurricanes Florence and Michael!
BUT, I am taking pre-orders until Nov. 5th!  You can email me at: fraileygail4SANTA@gmail.com with your request for a 6"x9" Hard Copy or Soft Cover.  The pre-order price for HC is $7.50 off the retail of $29.95 or: $22.45 and the SC $5.00 off retail of $17.95 or $12.95.  I will be taking your request(s) on a pre-order list, after the November 5th deadline I will then contact each of you with any S&H fees and the final price with tax, etc.  You can email me with your pre-order at:  fraileygail4santa@gmail.com .  Thank you for the support and hope for the best!  GG

Just got the COVER DESIGN! SO EXCITING!  They did a good job, just a few tweaks and we will be set for the test print of an actual physical book for my approval!  YOU WATCH!  It may just be out in time for Christmas!

Update for the NEVER BEFORE FOUND CHRONICLES OF SANTA

If you wish to opt out of getting these notices, please let me know as I do understand at times people get too many emails.  Thank you!  GF

GOOD NEWS!  I got an invitation for an interview to a Blog Site - I googled it to make sure they were legitimate first.  My ‘interview’ will be posted on Wednesday the10th of October under their, ARTIST OF THE WEEK. Here is the link if you are interested in checking it out:

https://phonicwords.com

Sure hope you enjoy this site…in addition I’m giving you another teaser from my book, this one is from the story: Bah-Bah Humbug!

“Santa pulled out his old naughty and nice lists, reviewed wish letters from the archives, and checked old inventory records too, but couldn’t find anything that indicated a Babba Bear connected or traceable to the man, Coby.”

If you haven’t already, you can pre-order a paperback or hard copy version from me, and when it’s finally printed, the book will be available through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Apple among the distributors who will have the book for purchase as well.  That way those of you who like the 

e-book version can get it at those resources. 

Contact me at my email: dgscoutsout@icloud.com or you can mail me at P.O. Box 1477, Largo, FL  33779-9998.  If you’ve already got a pre-order in, please stand by, I’ve got you down and will get prices to you as soon as they are available!

By the way, I’m now on Facebook under: Gramma Gail Frailey, on Blog: Gramma Gail’s Santa Tales, and I Twitter, too - just for now I look at those Social Media sites occasionally.  If you friend/follow/etc-please keep your shares friendly, happy, positive and remember it’s for my authorship!

Thanks for your support!

A note about Saint Nicholas...
It is rumored throughout history that the 'relics' or bones of the Saint leak Myrrh...the manna from a plant source reported to have healing powers.  Myrrh was also one of the gifts the three kings brought as a gift to the newborn baby Jesus the Christ.
You can google this and see the historical reports from all over the world regarding this miracle!  Is it real?

97 Days Until Christmas!
Here is a teaser from one of the stories, "Joyeux Noel"  in my book, THE NEVER BEFORE FOUND CHRONICLES OF SANTA just to get you more curious!

"September, 1945

The nuns told me today that they would be packing me up to go to America!  They tell me I’ll be going to live with Jean-Robert’s family somewhere in a place called New England!  The nuns laughed at me when I said I didn’t know that the old England had been moved!  I felt so silly when they said it was a part of America, not the British Isles.  I think I have a lot to learn."

Avoir for today!

119 Days until Christmas!
How about a short trip to Scotland? How many have a Scottish Ancestry? I went to Sorn, Scotland to see if I could track the family of my great, great Grandfather...the little church there - ANCIENT! But no gravestones with my family name. I was a bit saddened, but the folks at that little place encouraged me saying that those people probably moved to another place. Indeed, I found later that my great, great, great grandfather died in a mining accident in Ayr...!
Perhaps in another trip, I can go investigate that place and see the stones where the mother and father of my great, great grandfather were laid. Can only hope. Wouldn't it be lovely to go at Christmas time? Somehow, I find that idea very comforting.
Old Scottish Proverb: 

If you don't see the bottom, don't wade.

Take care! May God's Grace be with you! GG

Guess what?
There are only 126 days until Christmas!
That just means that Saint Nicholas is busy coordinating things at the North Pole, with the help of his missus as they make the preparations for this coming season's big night!  In the meanwhile, what do you think he's doing in his 'spare' time?  Well, he could be helping with the harvesting going on here and there all over the United States of America and in other places; or he might be doing what he can for animals who were injured in some of the fires happening in Montana, California, or other places!

Whatever he might be doing, you can bet he's got a lot of support back at his home!  So what are you doing in preparation for the big day?  Me...I'm taking steps to get the Never Before Found Chronicles of Santa published through Covenant Books.  We are hoping the collection of stories will be ready in time for Christmas, so here we go!  I'll be sending teasers your way so you, too can get some idea of what kinds of adventures Santa gets himself involved in.  Either way, it's going to be fun!

Take care and be Blessed!
