A hilarious Christmas story by Ashley Robert that sheds light on how children of divorced households feel.

Two Days of Christmas by Ashley Robert

Like most children his age, Asher’s favorite day of the year was Christmas. Sure he liked to get presents and eat all the fabulous food just like everyone else, but mostly he loved being with both his parents. You see Asher’s father, Alec Banks, had run off on his mother, Judith, almost three years to the date and the ten year old boy longed for his family to be whole again.

Unfortunately, that didn’t happen because Alec’s girlfriend, Trish, unexpectedly showed up for the holiday weekend unannounced, even after Asher’s father promised that she wouldn’t. The young boy was so upset that he manages to sabotage the entire day of Christmas. Not until the day is completely lost, does Asher finally realize what an awful person he was for ruining Christmas, especially for his younger sister and cousins.

Then the most magical thing happens. Henry, who is the Spirit of Christmas, mysteriously shows up and grants Asher one wish. He tells the young boy that he will be able to relive Christmas day and fix all the things that he did wrong. Asher does exactly that, and along the way he rediscovers his faith in Santa and the Spirit of Christmas.

The Modest Proposal Institute: A YA Dystopian Novel by Paul James

Like many young men, Alexis dreams of adventure and being an adventurer, a Viking or a Pirate, or maybe just your movie-style heroic action man saving the Western world. He knows that he’s going to do it by leading his new school, an offshore boarding school and university built by his grandfather and a retired engineer, to ever greater success. The only barrier he sees standing in his way is a kid called Shane.

Shane is only at the school because he somehow upsets people whenever he speaks, which isn’t too surprising because while they’re very ordinary, he’s very extra-ordinarily clever. It turns out this strange island school is full of misfits like him and he quickly sees that his destiny is to lead it to worlds away from the people who rejected him. His only real rival for head of the Institute is a kid called Alexis.

Each of them believes that only by besting the other, and by clever detective work to stop the other’s rise, will they achieve their true place and that only under their leadership will the future of the world be safe. It’s a coming-of-age, do-or-die struggle, him or me story – or is it? Could they both achieve their destinies?

This visionary science fiction tale begins with Paul James’s new YA Dystopian novel, The Modest Proposal Institute: An Old Path to a New Future, which launches two new heroes into the world’s oceans and the cosmos.
