A satire of traditional Christmas stories and noir. A hardboiled elf is framed for murder in a North Pole world that plays reindeer games for keeps, and where favorite holiday characters live complex lives beyond December. Fired from his longtime job as captain of the Coal Patrol, two-foot-three inch 1,300-year-old elf Gumdrop Coal is angry. He's one of Santa's original elves, inspired by the fat man's vision to bring joy to children on that one special day each year. But somewhere along the way things went sour for Gumdrop. Maybe it was delivering one too many lumps of coal for the Naughty List. Maybe it's the conspiracy against Christmas that he's starting to sense down every chimney. Either way, North Pole disillusionment is nothing new: Some elves brood with a bottle of nog, trying to forget their own wish list. Some get better. Some get bitter. Gumdrop Coal wants revenge. Justice is the only thing he knows, and so he decides to give a serious wakeup call to parents who can't keep their vile offspring from landing on the Naughty List. But when one parent winds up dead, his eye shot out with a Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model BB gun, Gumdrop Coal must learn who framed him and why. Along the way he'll escape the life-sucking plants of the Mistletoe Forrest, battle the infamous Tannenbomb Giant, and survive a close encounter with twelve very angry drummers and their violent friends. The horrible truth lurking behind the gingerbread doors of Kringle Town could spell the end of Christmas-and of the fat man himself. Holly Jolly!

From the author of The Four Paws and a Tale trilogy comes this insightful and compelling Christmas story. Santa is worried that people do not believe they are responsible for destroying the delicate balance of the North Pole, home to the elves, reindeer, starflowers, arctic berries, northern lights, and some very special animals. The elves in the workshop are sick, and so are the reindeer, the flowers and berries have not blossomed, the Christmas crystals have not appeared, there is no snow in the arctic lands, and the northern lights cannot be seen. It seems that the magic of Christmas might be lost forever. One Christmas Eve, Santa appears in the dreams of children and asks for their help. Old St. Nicks of yesteryears also visit parents and grandparents as they sleep.St. Nicks of the past hint to the older generation that they have failed to preserve the magic of Christmas by allowing technology and progress to disturb the arctic lands.Human activity in and around the north pole will spell a very dismal future for the world. Santa does, however, reveal a promising future, where children and parents are engaged and active in protecting the forests, glaciers, oceans, rivers, lakes, and animals. He implores the young and the old to leave this beautiful world a little better than they found it and begins to enlist the help of some very special humans to live and work in the North Pole. Through conservation efforts and under the guidance of Father Christmas and Sugar Shot, the chief woodland elf, they begin to preserve and restore the arctic lands so that the magic of Christmas would endure for all generations.

Polar Winds traces a century of northern flight from balloonatics to bush pilots and beyond. "They were all gamblers and fortune seekers. They did things on their own — were independent people who wanted to be free to roam. They were good people, but, of course, some were loners or escapists. They all depended strictly on their wits." Joe McBryan, pilot and owner of Yellowknife-based Buffalo Airways, was talking about gold prospectors in the 1940s when he said this, but he could just as easily have been describing the aviators who have flown northern skies for over a hundred years. They were adventurers and pioneers, but also just men and women doing what was required to make a living north of the sixtieth parallel. Polar Winds uses the stories of these pilots and others to explore the greater history of air travel in the North, from the Klondike Gold Rush through to the end of the twentieth century. It encompasses everything from exploration flights to the North Pole in airships to passenger travel in jet liners; flying school buses for residential schools to indigenous pilots performing mercy flights; and from the harrowing crashes to the routine supply runs that make up daily life in the North. Above all, it is a unique history told through the experiences of northerners on the ground and in the sky.
