MIA: When I'm trapped with my mistletoe-waving charming

best friend at our office Christmas party, I know I need to make

changes in my mundane life. But risk-taking isn't in me,

particularly when it involves bringing a secret dream to

fruition. Unless I can get some help from my favourite author of

all time, Axel Low.

AXEL: What's worse than Thanksgiving or my birthday?

Christmas. All I want is to be left alone. But after a nasty

review from Mia Samson tanks sales of my latest book, I know

what I have to do. Confront her.
