Hi Gang,

It's been another busy and eventful week at AwesomeDude. It happens every year... when I read my favorite Christmas story of all time, Hosanna by Jamie. Tears... then joy... then tears of joy. Also on tap for the holidays in the Dude's Picks section are Christmas Wish by Codey and Death And The Veteran by Ruthless. While you're over on that side of the AwesomeDude Home Page... be sure to check out the great novel, New Brother by Graeme.

As promised we have a new 'completed' novel that has never been published elsewhere and so is an AwesomeDude exclusive... The Farm Hand by Rick Beck. Thank you Rick for deciding to make AwesomeDude your home on the web. Part One of Child Of The Theatre, a novella by Caleb has been posted with the remaining three parts to be published over the next three weekends.
