The Walker Collection - David Spangler

This is my third anthology of stories. Because each of them was written as a Christmas present for family and friends, all six stories have a Christmas theme. But Christmas to me is a time of wonderment, so I think of these really as stories of wonder. They all have an element of magic to them, but then so do our lives. So really these stories are about who we are when we look beneath the surface of our lives and of our everyday world. They each arise from my sense of who we are as human beings and as spiritual beings. At Christmastime, we may come closest to touching the wonder of our deeper selves, but this experience is available to us any time, not just once a year.

So I think of these stories as more than just Christmas tales. My hope is that whenever you read them, they will brighten your heart and bring delight to your day. May you experience in reading them all the joy I felt in writing them.
