Tales to Take You to Christmas is 24 short festive stories. You can read a story a day and use it as an advent calendar or read it all at once and immerse yourself in a seasonal world.
Ho, ho, how much is it? You might be asking. It’s free on Kindle today and tomorrow 🙂

Last night I saw Motörheadache keep alive the wonderful music of Motörhead and the spirit of Lemmy. I enjoyed a couple of Jack and Diet Cokes (Barperson: “It’s actually Pepsi, is that okay?” Me:  “Yeah, whatever”) and communed with fellow ‘head fans. By the end of the night the floor was sticky and my ears were humming. I heartily recommend Motörheadache, as long as you can cope with some robust language from Lemm-a-like Rob. I’ll be seeing them again for sure.
With Christmas approaching it’s likely that Snaggletooth will be eating a lot of party food. He’s already started on the Quality Street. I will soon reach the 100th thing fed to Snaggletooth. His appetite remains undiminished, much like my appetite for listening to Motörhead .
I’ve been to Texas and bought jelly beans. Snaggletooth thought they were very tasty. It’s a long way to go back to get another pack but I’d like to. I am still the only person on Twitter using the hashtag #feedingthingstosnaggletooth and I’m still not bored of it.
My book of 24 short Christmas stories is free on Kindle today and tomorrow. It’s a readable advent calendar of varied festive tales and is ideal for dipping into in December.
I recently visited Austin, Texas and while there went to a very cool Book People book store. They had the latest Dave Hill book so I treated myself to a signed copy to read on my flight home. This was the perfect choice, it has short funny chapters, little scenes from Dave’s (sometimes shambolic) life. There are two things I love about this book:
Dave Hill is in no hurry to grow up.
Dave Hill keeps mentioning Danzig.
In Eviscerated Panda – A Metal Tale I mention Danzig 12 times and in The Very Metal Diary Of Cleo Howard I mention Danzig 18 times. I feel that Dave and I both know that a book is always improved by a spattering of Danzigs and neither of us could be convinced otherwise.
Snaggletooth fondly remembers the old Ready Brek adverts in which children appeared to become sort of radioactive through the power of oats. He’s hoping to gain a similar glow himself. He’s also eaten an Eccles cake, some fromage frais (after I reassured him it wasn’t strawberry flavour cheese) and an M&S millionaire’s dessert this week.
I’ve recently been on holiday to Austin, Texas (such a great city) and I found this great candle to add to my Lemmy shrine.
Snaggletooth has been mostly eating chocolate and drinking coffee this week. He thinks the Halloween ghost looks a bit like a sperm.
I mostly write books about metal bands and teenage girls who love metal but I’ve also written a book of twenty four short Christmas stories. It’s the sort of book you can dip into and out of and doesn’t contain anything rude enough to shock your Mum. It’s a rather jolly tome, if I do say so myself. I ruddy well love Christmas. If you do too, you can download it here:

Feel free to share the link, it’s a sort of early virtual Christmas present.
