Our author, Adam Santo, offers this fun and festive holiday post for your enjoyment. From our family to yours - Happy Holidays!


Delicate flakes of ice trickle down from lofty white clouds on a cold November eve. Smells of forgotten memories lift on a light breeze towards your car; pumpkin pie - still warm from baking - rests in your hands for the awaiting kitchen already filled with delectable treats. Yes, Thanksgiving is upon us.

We take the time each year to reunite with friends, relatives, and reminisce about the ones we've lost. Our year is spent being busy with tedious work schedules and inner family turmoil that ends with the holidays; a needed break from the ordinary routines of life. We sometimes bring our tresses with us to joyous family gatherings where we should be happy to be with ones that love us, but forget those concerns when we are welcomed into our childhood homes with a warm embrace of a parent. To be thankful is more than a holiday: it's a celebration of life.

Live what is given to you to its fullest. Know that one bad moment cannot ruin a lifetime of love. We all have jaded hours speckling our past, but a light always shines ahead. Be thankful for the little things that remind us we are only human.

Thanksgiving bring out the good in us all for a special night. Why keep your gratitude chained to one day? I think it a misnomer to believe we actually 'thank' anything until our heads bow at the dinner table. Do you think about what your thankful for leading up to dinner? We are grateful - in a sense - for the time we spend with loved ones without expressing it fully. Our words of thanks come at the end of a Thanksgiving night when we say, "goodbye" and "I love you" to family members. Make sure it doesn't stop there.

The next day is another well celebrated day, it's "The Day After Thanksgiving Sale". Remember what yesterday meant to you and carry well-wishing on through the new year. It's a stretch, but I'm sure if we pull together it can be done. Now, hands off that half-off toaster. I saw it first...

Our author, Adam Santo, has created another great novel, Temperature: Bitter Cold. Soon reviews will be available. Until then, let's hear about his Halloween launch party he held recently.

Another month is behind us. That month, October, holds a special place in my heart. My second novel - Temperature: Bitter Cold - came out on the 3rd. A Facebook event catapulted the novel to great heights and soared over a hauntingly full moon. Bountiful giveaways were at task to fill an eager reader's goodie bag to the brim. I even did the impossible and filmed myself doing a drawing (impossible, because I don't do well on camera) shown below.
I enjoyed the interaction between myself and the readers following along. Some of them joining me for my launch had read Temperature: Dead & Rising with high expectations for the sequel. They have not been let down. Even greater anticipation has built for the final novel in the trilogy. To keep the fun rolling into November, I offer you "Thanks" for "Giving" my blog a read by cutting the price this month. Use code: NOVTHANKS on Etsy.com and enjoy a nice discount on all of my books! Happy Holidays from me and Panhandling Fantasy.

Temperature: Bitter Cold Synopsis:
Adam Santo offers this riveting sequel to his debut dark fantasy novel of the Temperature Trilogy. It will have readers twisting and turning in their seat. A magnificent blend of intrigue and suspense, with a dash of trenchant wit. Sally’s trek through a world of unimaginable creatures will bring her face to face against a menacing entity to outdo them all – the church’s secret division, The Cross. Sally has been kidnapped by them and Bocnic, her zombie-fied knight in slightly shiny armor, must find her before it’s too late. And, that’s just the beginning. Much more stirs beneath the deviously shallow waters of life than either of them know about. Will riptides of a forlorn lover drive a wedge between Sally and Bo? How will this bitterly end?
