🎧🎄The Christmas Cabinet now on Audible🎄🎧

/ Timothy G. Huguenin / Leave a comment

Can you hear that scratching?

Maybe you should check inside that old cabinet, handed down over generations on your mother’s side.

Then again, maybe you shouldn’t.

Assemble Artifacts #8 contains my new story, “The Christmas Cabinet,” which was recently released as an ebook and now is available as an audiobook on Audible. Listen to it now!

This Sumer 2026 issue of Assemble Artifacts Magazine includes diverse tales of comedy, action, and scifi, by authors Zichao Ye, Libby Cudmore, Tyler Clifton, JG Mack, and wrapping up with my new holiday horror about what hides inside a creepy piece of furniture and a strange family’s Christmas traditions.

When a babysitter gets stranded with a Hallmark-perfect family over the holidays, their cheerful traditions start to feel less like Christmas spirit and more like ritual. The daughter’s unsettling obsession with a locked cabinet opened only on Christmas causes a growing dread for what is unleashed on December 25.

Buy the ebook, listen on Audible, or read for free with Kindle Unlimited

Running at over 16,000 words, it’s a veritable Christmas feast worthy of the Christmas Cabinet Man himself. Click on the cover image above to find the ebook (Kindle Unlimited users read for free!) and audiobook from Amazon.

2023! It’s one more than 2022! Reviewing 2022 and new #amwriting goals for 2023

Happy New Year 2023

Every New Year’s Dayish I review the previous year and make new goals. Last year I posted a stock photo of a silly sheep, as well. No ewe this year.

2022 review

2022 had a lot going on. Job changes, moving, first-time homeownership—all this, to say nothing of writing-related goals. But we’re here to say something of the writing-related goals. So let’s get to it. What were my 2022 goals?

  • Finish Gobbler of Fire —Yes, though not nearly as early as I planned.

  • Write another adult novel —Not even close.

  • Write another short story or two — Yes, and it is… interesting.

Merry Christmas

/ Timothy G. Huguenin / Leave a comment

Merry Christmas from me, Emily, and Poe. We wish peace and joy on you.

For a child will be born for us,
a son will be given to us,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
He will be named
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6 (CSB)

Make my joy complete by thinking the same way, having the same love, united in spirit, intent on onepurpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves. Everyone should look not to his own interests, but rather to the interests of others. Adopt the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus,

who, existing in the form of God,
did not consider equality with God
as something to be exploited.
Instead he emptied himself
by assuming the form of a servant,
taking on the likeness of humanity.
And when he had come as a man,
he humbled himself by becoming obedient
to the point of death—
even to death on a cross.
For this reason God highly exalted him
and gave him the name
that is above every name,
so that at the name of Jesus
every knee will bow—
in heaven and on earth
and under the earth—
and every tongue will confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:2–11 (CSB)
