Those of us who write crime thrillers, horror, or science fiction have a slightly different way of looking at Christmas and other holidays or situations that could provide material for a future gut-wrenching novel. But look at it this way: Someday you, dear reader, may turn up as a character in one of our books. Or at least as a dead body. Merry Christmas! ;-}
