From The Author

"Other than a hot toddy, perhaps, nothing warms the bones like a fireside yarn. 'The Man Who Became Santa Claus, and Other Winter Tales' is straight from the sidewalks of Greensboro — true-life characters we'll recognize from the 24-hour breakfast counter at Jan's Diner, the precinct house downtown, the all-night mission or the volunteer firehouse on Thanksgiving Day: They are sinners, saints, and most of them, somewhere between the two, game faces we meet in the winter of the year."
