It has been ten years since Mark Blasdale caused a modest disturbance in the book-buying world with the publication of the minor classic, KEEPING CHRISTMAS. A decade later, and he’s still at it. As each new work finds its way into the hands of enthusiastic readers across the globe, it seems his determination to ‘have his say’ shows little sign of abating.

DECADE is, as the author himself considers it, a collection of the fruits of his ten year apprenticeship as a writer.

Included for the entertainment and amusement of quite literally some are over thirty veritable treats in literary form: Harrison’s Patch, The Reckoning of Thaddeus Pike, his immensely popular Christmas short stories, his equally successful strange and curious tales, and, of course, Keeping Christmas.
