Whispers of Magic

Prologue

Santa’s ultimatum to the three misbehaving elves had been quite clear.

“I’m giving each of you one last chance. There’s a family of three sisters, from

Melbourne, Texas. They’ve all had a rough time of it this year and the holiday season

isn’t shaping up to be any better. So each of you will be assigned to ensure a Merry

Christmas for one of the sisters. Do it, and you can return to the North Pole and stay.

Fail, and you’re on your own.”

So now they were in a crummy motel in Melbourne, Texas, trying to carry out their

seemingly impossible task. Trust the guys to get the easy ones. At least the two sisters

they’d been assigned to were in Texas. Sparkle’s charge was currently sitting in a tent

outside Beirut.

Sparkle shook the enchanted snow globe she’d been given to watch Miss Jenna

Woodward. Jenna sat cross-legged on her cot, staring at the screen of her laptop

computer. She sure didn’t look happy. Santa had gotten that one right. When the

snowflakes settled in the globe, Sparkle understood why.

“Fired!” Jenna’s voice was soft so no one could hear outside the tent. “That son of a

bitch!”

Sparkle studied the email over Jenna’s shoulder. Yep, sure enough, the youngest

Woodward sister had just been fired from her position at a national news magazine.

Would Sparkle’s task be that easy? Was a new job all Jenna needed to have a Merry

Christmas? That would be a snap.

Jenna scrolled down to another email and Sparkle watched the young woman’s

eyes well up with tears. This email was from Jenna’s sister.
