THEY ARE FOR DISCERNING ADULTS CONTEMPLATING MORE THAN SIMPLE SUGARPLUM SWEETNESS.
Within Hark: A Christmas Collection, a retired police officer
faces another Christmas Eve while bitter recollections haunt his every turn, a
lonely businesswoman plans to seduce Santa Claus one Christmas Eve, a widow
grows anxious searching for a misplaced present she intended to send to her
ungrateful sister, a stubborn and brave woman can't keep the images of her
past—these ghosts—from haunting the life she chooses to live; while attending a
Christmas party in Sun Valley, Idaho, a bookstore clerk and his partner are taught
a lesson most un-holiday-like, and, in the final story, a couple portrays Mr.
& Mrs. Claus in their small island town’s holiday festivities and face a
grim diagnosis together.
“Justin Bog has proved over and over again that he is a master storyteller. He artfully takes simple situations and portrays the depth of emotions that a person can feel. This is the third book that I have read by this author, and he still manages to surprise me and keep me guessing. Polished language and smooth flow in his narration are his prime assets.”—b00kr3vi3ws, goodreads
“HARK brings us six wonderful stories that occur at Christmastime. Unlike many books about this time of year, Mr. Bog’s collection pays tribute to the season without being melodramatic or candy-cane sweet.”—Eden Baylee, author of Charade at Sea and Stranger at Sunset
