Discover For the Love of St. Nick by Garasamo Maccagnone This Christmas

Nov. 3, 2009 - PRLog -- Author Garasamo Maccagnone travels the blogosphere in November 2009 on his second virtual book tour with Pump Up Your Book Promotion to discuss his newly expanded and illustrated novella, “For the Love of St. Nick”.

Two California boys, coping with the loss of their mother, find themselves uprooted when their father, a Navy Commander, is transferred to a base in Northern Michigan. With the youngest boy continuously sick, the family must survive military life and the northern elements as they dwell in their little hunter’s cabin on Lake Huron. When the boys’ father must leave prior to Christmas to fulfill his secret mission for the United States Military, the boys are surprised by a chance encounter that saves a life, and reunites a family.

“This Christmas season, as the snow falls casually outside your front room window, sit in a rocking chair near a fireplace in a lamp lit room and read, ‘For the Love of St. Nick’. It truly will become a memorable and magical experience for yourself, and all those you read it to. – Annette Fielding, Amzon.com Reviewer

“A truly remarkable Christmas tale, ‘For the Love of St. Nick’ is a must read for those who hold family and Christmas close to their hearts.” – The Book Connection
