We are ten bestselling authors with Christmas-themed stories who have come together to create a gigantic e-book set to support a cause. This year we decided to donate our proceeds to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. We’ve seen the ads on TV, the heart-tugging photos of children undergoing chemotherapy.

I first came to the North, to Alaska, in 2013. I was there, ostensibly, to follow stories of climate change and oil, but really I was there because I was lured by the myth.
