Santa Breaks Bad: an International Christmas Story Wrapped in Flash

In 14 flash fiction chapters, Santa goes off on a reality TV celeb and is swiftly incarcerated while political, social and supernatural forces conspire to cancel Christmas. Two brilliant women -- a Russian hacker and a Moroccan pastry chef -- enlist The Legion of Doom to free Santa. But not before Joker and the KGB attempt one last deal. The world of mythic, graphic and human characters becomes strangely credible in this international love comedy. Santa's meltdown sets off a chain of events where everyone - Mrs. Claus, the Joker, Russian spies, and lovely Carmelita - is forced to face what they really want. As greed and jealousy infect humans and supervillains alike, only love can save them...and maybe Christmas.
