In an alternative universe, Santa's North Pole City is no mere myth. But the reality has little to do with the jolly image promoted to the rest of the world. The North Pole is a grim industrial complex where worker elves and flying reindeer rarely live happy and long lives ... and where Santa Claus is a booze-sodden wreck. Detective Max Sneed is dragged out of retirement when Vlad Volsky, Premier of gun-free North Pole City, is mysteriously shot to death in Snowflake Garden. Prime suspect is Santa himself, suffering alcoholic depression after McCarthy anti-communist witch-hunts in his universe ban him from US airspace. During the six months' long polar night, Max is assisted in his investigation by visiting English journalist, Robert Watson, who struggles to resist the advances of Mrs Claus's pot-induced horniness and is bemused by the complex social interplay between humans and elves. Within this universe echo the events of our own turbulent sixties. The winding murder investigation becomes tangled with cold war politics, corporate espionage, bitter worker revolt and a powerful civil rights movement that threatens to destroy the fragile tinsel myth. Lewis brings us a North Pole struggling to retain its image in the midst of labor disputes, volatile human-elf relations, a discredited Santa, and now the murder of Santa's right-hand man. With a little grit and a lot of charm, The Blood in Snowflake Garden is a perfect mix of mystery, mayhem and magic. - Jaden Terrell, Executive Director of the Killer Nashville Crime Literature Conference and author of the Jared McKean mysteries Fans of Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld' will feel at home in Lewis's 'The Blood in Snowflake Garden'. - Poet and author Sam Smith

The Blood in Snowflake Garden

D. Alan Lewis

1986. If David hadn't missed his train and if Rob hadn't been in the kitchen when his mother was baking a birthday cake, they might never have met.  Both found themselves sitting at the same table in the cafe on waterloo station and got talking. There was an instant rapport between them, despite their differences. David twenty eight with a good job and a house all to himself, Rob more than ten years younger and homeless. The solution to the latter seemed obvious...  But was David, who'd admitted his homosexuality when asked, just being a good Samaritan or were his motives suspect? And why had Rob left home?

Sam Smith, Editor, The Journal, Original Plus Press Heather Grace Stewart, Editor, BeWrite Books: Donna Biffar's poetry is intelligent, thought-provoking art at its very best. Her poems are so multi-layered, it takes a careful read to let all their imagery unfold. Then the Biffar magic begins: "I was across the yard, the neurasthenic light of summer left to this brown grass season, the vinegar moon we asked for</p>
