It was pitifully decorated with just a few string lights and a sad looking ornament on top. ā€œHe comes once in a while with me and Joanne some Sundays and I’m glad for it.

Continue the story with an early look into chapter 2 of  My Silent New York Night ... ( Read Chapter 1 ) 2. All I Want For Christmas… The alarm went off and I jolted up out of bed. There was an annoying beeping going off and it took a minute for me to realize where it was coming from. I quickly grabbed my phone and shut it off. Much better.

This novella is not only a treat for my readers this holiday, it's also an homage to the city that has become—and will always be—my second home.  In My Silent New York Night , I do things a little differently.

But then again, Celeste Nightingale is a diva and demanded she be the star of this novella. And through her, I discovered that I c...
