I was going to be a writer. Little did I suspect that he wanted to send me to a student conference on metallurgy where I could seek the fellowship of like-minded teens on a minimally supervised road-trip to the Big City. Undeterred by my abrupt negative response, he grumbled, “Well, you're interested in mining your own business, aren't you?” And he sent me anyway. Now I realize I should've listened more carefully to everything he said.I write mystery-thrillers and literary fiction for adult readers who seek insight, fascination, and delight in the adventures of their own lives.I've been a professional writer all my working life.

Karma—what does it have to do with Christmas? More, perhaps, then you'd think. After all, cautionary tales around the holidays are something that we find in stories like It’s A Wonderful Life, or A Christmas Carol. There is a sense during the holidays that things should be put right, that people who are lost can be shown a way, and that karma—the overriding sense of order in the universe, the idea that things happen for a reason and that there really is purpose—is real. The book we are talking about touches on these ideas and more. It is called Christmas Karma. It is by the prolific author Gerald Everett Jones who is here with us now on Books That Make You.
