Free e-Book: The Woman on the Mountain – A Christmas Story

by Brad Isaac on December 12, 2007

Footway in snowy woods What gets you in the mood for Christmas?  

For me, it’s watching Charlie Brown reruns with the kids and reading Christmas stories.  

One goal I set for myself probably 10 years ago was to write my own Christmas story.  

I remember touring Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia and seeing Dickens’ A Christmas Carol in one of the shops.  And I thought, that’s it!  I need to write my own Christmas story.  It needs to be timeless and reflective.  One that makes you think.  And I want it to inspire joy and a Christmas spirit for those who read it.

Well, here it is.  My Christmas story laid bare for you.  It is not perfect, it is not a Christmas Carol.  But I am awfully proud of it.  And it is one of my goals achieved.  

I wrote it over the period of 3 weekends mostly from the passenger seat of our family mini-van as Kim drove us to some getaway locations.  The story was easy, the ending was hard.  Editing was tougher than everything else.  But it’s here, at last. 

I am releasing this under Creative Commons license.  No commercial use or changing the contents.  But you can print it, post it, send it to your friends.  I even cut down the page size and formatted it so you can easily bind it into a paperback book.

I would be honored if you’d give it a read and let me know your thoughts…
