Meet Rose and other characters from Lilac Lane Fashion House

Roselyn Turnquist, principal sewist for Lilac Lane Fashions, is in charge of corralling her colleagues to create fashionable fiber accessories for their yearly fundraising auction. A firm believer that with enough hard work and a large dose of the truth, Rose figures everything will all work out.

Or it would if at least a few of her associates knew how to knit and crochet. Or if someone hadn’t swindled them of the top auction prize. Or if Kris Kringle, the ever-watchful llama at God's Free-range Alpaca Farm, wasn’t under barn arrest for assaulting someone and leaving him for dead in the pasture.

When it looks like the owners of the furry critters could lose everything, Rose is determined to discover what the unconscious young man was doing at the farm in the first place and salvage the holiday fundraiser in the process.

Notes: Both the print and ebook feature trivia, games, and more (print book includes one additional game).

Additional information: This novelette is an expanded version of the short story by the same name that first appeared in A Prob-Llama of a Holiday anthology, published by Aconite Cafe in 2023.

It’s Beginning to Look a Llama Like Christmas is the first in a number of mini mysteries wrapped inside and between the bigger series. This is a Christmas prequel to the upcoming Games We Play Mystery series featuring fashion designer, Jennifer Clark, and her Lilac Lane Fashions family.
