    Santa with a twist!

    Redeeming Santa is not your usual Christmas fare, but still a thrilling and heartwarming tale of redemption and forgiveness in the wake of a harrowing past experience. A nice, short read by a talented author. Would also recommend her full-length paranormal romantic suspense "The Secrets on Forest Bend," another awesome one!

    Highly Recommended - Very Memorable Story!

    Muller grabbed my attention from the opening and held it through to the end. This is a perfect short story to read on a plane which I did. Read this between Houston and Nashville and was so absorbed, I never noticed Take Off or that they'd served a snack. Muller puts you into every scene so you're right there in Texas, the early 20th century. The bank robbery really happened but Muller's fictionalized account is seen through the eyes of a young boy who's in the bank during the heist-gone-bad. Kidnapped, he can't absorb what just happened or that people died (I won't tell you who!), and that he's unable to escape. His fears and troubles while on the road are palpable. Buy and read this now. You'll have discovered a very talented author. Promise!
