He spends his days doing chores and the nights listening to the forest rumble.But when he discovers the first leather-bound journal, the family secrets begin to surface.

But when the time comes for Oliver to discover the truth, will he have the courage? When Flury needs him, will he have the strength? When believing isn't enough, will he save the snowman from melting away?Because sometimes even magic needs a little help.INTERVIEW WITH AUTHORWhere did you come up with the idea of writing science fiction for holiday characters?My nephew mentioned the "secret Santa ninja elves" that visit his school during Christmas, and this spawned the idea of writing a semi-serious sci-fi version of Santa. How the ideas flesh out is a long process. I started keep track of how the story arc of my latest novel evolves, just to remember where it began. It's all over the place. I love the challenge of bringing a story to light, letting the characters get in my head and telling me where to go. Flury: Journey of a Snowman is the third book in the Claus series. It was originally Frosty the Snowman, but Frosty is copyrighted. It didn't matter, really. The character was better suited to be something other than Frosty. Flury is a bit more serious..Are you getting any backlash for rewriting these Christmas legends?Not at all. In fact, a lot of readers have connected to all the unanswered questions surround them, especially Santa Claus. How does he go around the world in a night? Why is he fat? Why does he live on the North Pole? How do reindeer fly? How does he carry all those presents? All of them answered with the magic wand of science fiction… I mean, the science wand of science fiction. The stories still have the fantasy element, of course. Some leaps of imagination. And also the romance angle. Why? Because all stories have love..What is your favorite character from the books that you have written?Socket Greeny is one of my favorites. That science fiction trilogy was my first story. I wrote it in first person and really connected with him. However, Jack Frost is in Claus (Legend of the Fat Man) and Jack (The Tale of Frost) and has become my all-time fave. He's childish, irreverent and dangerous, but at the same time lovable. .What order should readers purchase the Claus books?Claus: Legend of the Fat Man is the best start. After that, any order works. They all can be read as standalone novels. [url] => https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/15540378 [pa] => [publisher] => DeadPixel Publications [purchaseModel] => INSTANT )
