The Unveiling<\/span><\/h1>\n

You’ve seen the cover of Tim’s Magic Christmas<\/strong><\/span> revealed a bit at a time every day this past week. Now, it’s the unveiling of the actual book!<\/p>\n

I received an email from CoBa Studios & Print Shop<\/a> at 7:20 pm Friday, June 12th saying that my books were printed and I could pick them up any time. The email went on to say that they would be open from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm the following day if I wanted to pick them up then.<\/p>\n

Can we say no brainer? I couldn’t wait to see all my “book babies”<\/strong><\/span> even though I already had a proof copy. Saturday morning, I was up early (nothing new there) and ready to head to CoBa’s location in Merrickville to be there shortly after they opened.<\/p>\n

Once I got my “book babies”<\/span><\/strong> home, I transferred them from the copy paper box I’d brought them home in (a bit difficult to do a series of unveiling photos in a box with no lid) to these “plain brown wrappers” which were the perfect size!<\/p>\n

So, let the unveiling commence!<\/p>\n

For Tim Frost, Christmas 2011 is a washout. No Santa. No presents. Nothing. His father lost his job when the mill closed and now the family is on the verge of losing their home.<\/p>\n

A chance encounter with Nick Kringle, a modern-day Santa Claus, teaches Tim that the greatest gift you can receive is the gift of giving.<\/p>\n

Currently, Tim’s Magic Christmas<\/strong><\/span> is only available in paperback. If you’re interested in finding out more about this book or purchasing a copy, please leave a comment.<\/p>\n
