The Christmas Number One and other Christmas Stories edition by Michael J Holley Religion Spirituality eBooks
I'm not usually keen on short stories but the clever way these stories both stand alone yet are linked makes them much more than just a collection of short stories. Each story is well constructed and worth more than just one read, so I'm putting the book in my traditional Christmas reading pile......ready for a reread again next Christmas.I really enjoyed Michael's writing style and as this is his first book I'm really looking forward to all future offerings....full novels OR short stories!

The Christmas Number One and other Christmas Stories edition by Michael J Holley Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
Holley presents a really fine collection of holiday themed short stories.
First up is the title story. My favorite of the bunch, this hilarious tale tells of a venerated songwriter and the slimy producer of 'I Can't Believe You're Not Famous' vying to see who can nab the top spot in Britain's yearly music contest. Who will win - a choir composed of injured soldiers, the homeless and some busty reality show dropouts OR a blind girl whose mum has just died? The end of this story was so unexpected and delightful, it had me laughing out loud.
The next story was a complete reversal - a real heart-string-plucker about a vain and selfish footballer whose visit to a children's hospital brings about a change in his attitude.
There are also tales about an Arctic scientist's grim and puzzling discovery, a married man considering a fling with a flirtatious coworker and some angels working for a corporation.
Most of the stories were humorous, but the author shows remarkable skill at writing in a number of genres. I also enjoyed that small snippets from the first two stories showed up again in some of the later tales - sort of like fun little Easter eggs . . . for Christmas.
More books by Holley are definitely on my shopping list.
