Elves After Dawn Book 7
by
Georgie Peppermint
What’s an elf gotta do to get respect?
When I’m called to Administration, I’m skeptical that the summons is related to any appreciation the Claus’ feel about how hard I work in the Porcelain Department as a detail painter. I believe it’s somehow in retaliation for my misunderstood relationship with Jingle Bell. Much to my surprise—and concern—I’m given a new assignment to become the Ambassador to the Mystical Convention… I’m being sent to the South Pacific to assist the Easter Bunny.
What awaits me isn’t clear, but I’m determined to shine at my task and show all the nay-sayers that Georgie Peppermint is destined for greatness.

Spring. A symbol of rebirth with blooming flowers, trees, and the arrival of babies in every species. It was always my favorite time of the year, but this year it’s bittersweet. I have a lovely life that’s idyllic to everyone who sees it, but all I see when I look around is loss.
For years, I’ve provided the eggs for Peter Cotton, a local import/exporter on Rapa Nui—Easter Island to outsiders—who holds a worldwide food drive every Spring to celebrate the rebirth on the planet. Sadly, I lost my partner last year, and unless I can find some help, I won’t be able to produce nearly enough eggs to help feed the masses.
Enter the oddly beautiful man wearing tourist clothes and a strange little straw hat. He’s nice and hard-working, a friend of Mr. Cotton’s, and has been sent to the island to assist me. I’m not sure how he can help, but with the sweetly cynical man around, I’m a lot less lonely.
People say there’s magic on Easter Island, thanks to the gods and goddesses who watch over its inhabitants, but never did I believe I’d come face-to-face with the manifestation of the mystical forces. And it all starts with the arrival of Georgie Pepper.
This work of fiction is approximately 32,000 words in length and doesn’t end in a cliffhanger. It is part of the Easter series, “Elves After Dawn.”

Excerpt from Georgie's Eggcellent Adventure
“We’ve decided to name you as our first official Ambassador to the Mystical Convention. We’d love it if you’d be receptive to traveling and helping out the other mystical beings as they endeavor to spread the love of all things magical to the children of the world. It’s a new position we’ve created out of necessity, and we believe you’d be perfect as our first Ambassador. Always remember, the Pole is your home, and you’re welcome back at any time.” The smile on her face was friendly enough, but when I remembered the looks from Buster, Aubree, and Elanor, I wondered what the hell was really going on.
READ MOREI sat for a moment, still stunned at her words while trying to parse the real intentions behind them, but then a thought occurred to me. What if my destiny was bigger than anything the Pole had to offer? What if I were the one who would be able to unite the mystical world to spread hope and love to children that magic is real. What if that was my real calling, not just a detail painter in the Porcelains Department? Maybe my future was more important than being one of five hundred mundane elves doing the same mundane job, day-in-day-out?
