This is the paperback cover. The ebook cover is entirely different, but just as bad. (h/t PJ)

Elf and Efficiency

A tale of greed and corruption, conspiracy and magic. Santa is to be relocated to a distribution centre near Birmingham, England. His elves and reindeer are to be made redundant…

Keystone P.D.

It’s a prequel/origin story of the Keystone Cops. No, really.
