Mark Simmons’s New Book ‘Another Night Before Christmas’ is a Faithful Sequel to a Classic Christmas Tale and a Loving Tribute to the Magic of the Holidays

Fulton Books author Mark Simmons, an Air Force veteran with a passion for the English language, has completed his first book "Another Night Before Christmas": a whimsical yet sincere sequel to Clement Clarke Moore's cherished poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas." 

"It has been nearly two centuries since the first publication of 'A Visit from St. Nicholas' by Clement Clarke Moore," says author Mark Simmons. "Since my earliest memory of Christmas, like countless other folks, I have revisited the poem every year and have derived pleasure from each reading. It never gets old."

Published by Fulton Books, Mark Simmons's book takes place one year after the events portrayed in "A Visit from St. Nicholas." This year, the story's narrator finds jolly St. Nick asleep in the living room. He knows he must wake him as it is almost morning, but waking an elf is tricky business. Will the narrator be able to preserve Christmas magic by getting St. Nick back on his sleigh before sunrise?

Inspiration for "Another Night Before Christmas" struck during the pandemic. Every year, Simmons writes an annual Christmas letter to family and friends. Seeking a change of pace in 2020, he composed a sequel to Clement Clarke Moore's beloved poem. Simmons was surprised by the wave of positive responses he received, some of which suggested he publish his story. He now shares his new take on the Christmas classic with an audience beyond his yearly mailing list.

Readers who wish to experience this delightful work can purchase "Another Night Before Christmas" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes & Noble.
