A Note About Two Christmas Book Bargains

Several of my Christmas stories first appeared as individual standalone books, each with its own characters, memories, and quiet holiday message. This season, I have gathered some of those stories into two larger Christmas collections so readers can enjoy more of them in one volume.

The Christmas Pennies: Two Christmas Tales brings together Eleven Pennies and The Snowman’s Penny in a full-color illustrated edition filled with hope, tenderness, and the small signs of grace that can appear at Christmas.

Unexpected Gifts of Christmas combines four heartfelt Christmas stories — The Enchanted Christmas ShedA Child for Christmas, Until Christmas, and The Keeper of Christmas — in one paperback collection for readers who enjoy gentle stories of kindness, faith, family, and wonder.

The standalone editions remain special to me, but these combined books offer readers a more affordable way to enjoy several Christmas stories together. They were created as holiday bargains, keepsake reads, and thoughtful gifts for anyone who still treasures the old-fashioned warmth of Christmas.

Historical Fiction

Fiction rooted in New England history, blending documented events, imagined lives, and the lingering presence of the past.

Nostalgia/Humor

Stories of memory, family, and growing up in a gentler time. These reflections look back with warmth and humor at the ordinary moments that quietly shape our lives.

Reflective

Thoughtful, modern stories that examine conscience, courage, innocence, and the moral choices that shape a life.

Family & Middle-Grade Fiction

A heart-forward story for younger readers and families, centered on belonging, courage, and a very big secret.

End Times

Stories of faith, sacrifice, and hope in a world struggling to remember the light.

Reviews

Green’s attention to developing different backgrounds, experiences, and personalities creates a satisfyingly uncommon intersection of special interests and experiences which illustrate daily life in these colonies.

Diane Green is a master of the unexpected, keeping the pace fast and her characters realistic. She creates ironic scenes that add wry humor into the mix of dinosaur confrontations and bigger-picture thinking about the rocky road towards maturity.

Clever, catchy, and quirky, this is a delightful read! Expert writing and pitch-perfect pacing offer a warm and whimsical story that engages and entertains. Lyrical prose and rich descriptions pepper every page. It pulled me in from chapter one and kept me turning pages until the very end.

Diane Green writes Aura with such tenderness that she feels real from the first page. She isn’t flawless or overly wise, which makes her believable… This novel is not a light read. Aura’s early heartbreak, Gabriel’s struggle, and the way Hollywood chews people up all carry weight…. I’d mainly recommend The Last Voice of Innocence by Diane Green to adults and older teens who can sit with difficult material and appreciate a story that uses symbolism.

Diane Green is not your run-of-the-mill author, although she’s quite prolific and has a loyal fan base. She’s found her niche in creating short works of fiction that are more comfort than complexity, standing firmly on faith rather than an intricate plot. Green’s short works have a feel similar to micro-fiction: they’re quick reads with each sentence doing some heavy lifting to advance the storyline. There is no fluff. Yet there’s plenty to stop and consider once the final page has been read. Her latest work, Until Christmas, shows us once again how well she has mastered this form.
