There are cars and trucks parked outside the Dirty Shame when I go past - mostly trucks - and it looks warm and inviting, a glow in the night woods.

When September Comes...
That little Christmas book releases today. Be sure and get your copy soon. The early bird gets the awe...
My two copies are on their way, according to Amazon.com! I ordered them so long ago that I, for a minute, thought that the email they sent me was an error...until I realized it was re your book.
Can't wait to go purchase mine...yep, no online buying for me, I am actually planning a day to go to the bookstore so I can tell the checker outer: "I KNOW HIM!!!!!"
I was reading the Amazon reviews and realized your story accomplishes what I wanted to accomplish during my band's 2008 Christmas concert. My concert was inspired by the song "What a Strange Way to Save the World" and my narrators were the three kings. Concert goers also saw a brief enactment of what Joseph's mother may have said to him upon learning he intended to marry the young, pregnant Mary -- a mother would be concerned about that, I thought. After intermission we had a Today-show style interview with King Herod, who really tried to vindicate himself. The show ended with our own version of "Jesus Messiah" while our actors finally arrived at Christ's manger.
I finally ordered the book, and am excited to read it!
