"Amy Alessio's Felled by Fruitcake is a delightful and delicious story where people are good and miracles are possible. A throwback to a kinder, gentler era, it will capture your heart and make you glad that the Holidays are just around the corner."
Libby Fischer Hellman, Author of SET THE NIGHT ON FIRE

"What do a Alana O'Neill, her uncle's antique mall, a church burglary, a mysterious woman, and some legendary fruitcakes all have in common? The answer is they all add up to a recipe for a perfect mystery story. Amy Alessio's "Felled by a Fruitcake" is one of those delightful stories that will leave you feeling like you just finished an exquisite dessert, but you won't have gained a pound. It's a winner."
Michael A. Black, author of I Am Not a Psychic (with Richard Belzer) and Hostile Takeovers.

In this 9,100 word short story, newlywed antiques store bookkeeper Alana seeks answers about a burglary. She also ponders the ingredients for a mysteriously popular fruitcake while adjusting to her new family's spirited holiday celebrations. Vintage 1950's - 1980's recipes from the author's handwritten recipe box collection included are: Holly Clusters, Christmas Peppermint Candy, Mint Chocolate Cheese Cups, Christmas Crescent Cookies, Chocolate Peppermint Spritz, Cathedral Window Cookies, Popcorn Balls, Hot Wassail, Mexican Wedding Cakes and Western Fruitcake.
