I received an email today from Kevin Newland Scott, who was participating in Deck the Halls: Grown-Up Storytime at the Salem Public Library in Salem, Oregon.

And there, he read my story, “A Visit from Cousin Charles.” (which you can find here)

A quote from his email:

Everyone wanted to know where I had found the wonderful Christmas ghost story — and it was a lucky Google. I was looking for a Christmas ghost story by Robertson Davies, and chanced to turn up one that mentioned him.

I am all sorts of thrilled!

Thank you for picking my story, Kevin, and I am very glad the audience enjoyed it.

And now I’m wondering if I can get another one written by Christmas. Hmmm…

Merry Christmas to everyone who attended the event, and heck, Merry Christmas to the rest of you!
