When the Snow Refused to Fall

This is a Christmas story of sorts, although it doesn't take place entirely at that time of year. It concerns young Tom, who loves Christmas, and his mother, who has reservations. Tom makes a seasonal wish and conveys it to Father Christmas. Then he changes his mind . . . and the adults only complicate matters. This story will tell you whether or not Tom's wish came true. Reviews may be found at Lulu.com (paperback and eBook), at Amazon (Kindle edition) and at Goodreads, as well as collected from various sources at http://sites.google.com/site/imwrbooks1982/reviews (my own web pages). Sample chapters are also available at Lulu, Goodreads, Shelfari, Amazon and my own websites. Despite the Christmas content, this book is NOT suitable for young children, as it contains strong adult emotions.

I'm an old-fashioned sort of person, so I write books set a little bit further back in time from where we are now. I don't write about vampires or werewolves or shape-shifting time travellers, never having knowingly met any of them. My stories, on the whole, are about apparently normal people trying to get on with their ordinary lives, but sometimes in extraordinary circumstances.

"When the Snow Refused to Fall" is about a young boy named Tom, who loves Christmas and snow and all that the season ought to bring. His mother is a lone parent, a mature student and has more complicated thoughts about the whole thing. Tom makes a wish and tells Father Christmas about it - then changes his mind. That's when things begin to get more tangled than ever.
