While we inch closer to the December publication deadline for the Elf of Luxembourg, here is a sneak peak inside the book.

And it only took 6 months to keep our promise!

“Jackie, be realistic,” cried Alex. “It will never work. He’s too old for you.”
“Lots of girls date older men,” replied Jackie.
“Yes, but not one hundred thousand years older.”
“You’re exaggerating. It’s only ninety thousand.”

The thing about El Dorado is . . . No, forget that. The thing about younger sisters is . . .

What’s an older sister to do? It’s not all fun fairs and ice-cream. Well, it is – but that’s beside the point. When one is in Luxembourg, there is a certain standard to maintain, and vacationing with Elves and Vampires is just so old school. But can Alex convince her younger sister, Jackie, of that? No, of course not, so she may as well get used to it.

But deep beneath the ancient city of Luxembourg there lies a secret. The Vampires believe it is protected by the Elf. The Elf believes it is protected by a prophecy concerning Alex and Jackie. And the sisters? They believe shoes in Luxembourg are too expensive.

Why are the Vampires going toe-to-toe with an Elf for the pleasure of the sisters’ company? Why does the Elf think Alex and Jackie can sing? And just who let Sir Walter Raleigh and the Conquistadors into this story?

To answer these questions will take all of the sisters’ cunning, bravery and imagination, as well as some souvenir shopping. Because this is the Elf of Luxembourg and this is an Alex and Jackie Adventure.

We know it’s fairly meaningless in the vast scheme of things; and it won’t last long, but the paperback edition of First Night made it onto an Amazon Best Seller list at # 48 (Category: Books > Literature & Fiction > Ghosts).
