This
holiday season, Barnes & Noble is proud to announce the
simultaneous release of two exciting works by acclaimed author Donald
Marsolais: “Twelve Days of Christmas Stories” and “Bowman’s Bodacious Bazaar.” Marsolais’s
extraordinary ability to craft emotionally resonant narratives—whether
celebrating the warmth of the holiday season or delving into the depths of
American history.
“Twelve
Days of Christmas Stories” offers readers a heartwarming collection of twelve
short stories, each capturing the magic, wonder, and spirit of Christmas.
Through tales of family, friendship, and the joy of giving, Marsolais paints an
intimate image of the season’s most cherished moments. As readers dive into
these stories, they will encounter characters who, despite life’s challenges,
rediscover the power of love, kindness, and hope during the holiday season.
Whether it’s a child lost and found or the rekindling of an old romance, each
story serves as a reminder of the connections that bind us together, especially
at Christmas.
Marsolais,
renowned for his sincere and nostalgic storytelling, has created a collection
that readers of all ages will treasure. “Christmas isn’t just about the
decorations or presents,” said Marsolais. “It’s about the people we hold dear
and the small moments that make this time of year magical. I wanted to craft
stories that reflect those timeless values.”
In
“Bowman’s Bodacious Bazaar”, Marsolais transports readers back in time through
American history by combining elements of crime, mystery, and historical
fiction into an unforgettable story. The novel follows James Jefferson, a
history student, as he investigates the mysterious Peter Bowman, owner of a
legendary establishment known as Bowman’s Bazaar. Jefferson goes deep into
archives and uncovers centuries-old secrets, encountering the owner himself,
whose family legacy spans some of the most significant moments in American
history, including the Revolutionary War and the Civil Rights Movement.
The
Bowman family’s adventures, full of twists, magic, and mystery, offer a fresh
perspective on how personal stories can shape the course of history. “History
isn’t just made by great men and women,” Marsolais noted. “It’s shaped by
ordinary people whose lives touch upon extraordinary events. I wanted “Bowman’s
Bodacious Bazaar” to reflect the small, often untold stories that ripple
through time.”
