Very little is merry in a private dick’s world.
Private detective Nick Bozic works the mean streets of 1950s Portland, Oregon, shadowing unfaithful spouses and nabbing thieving employees. He may be lonely, but at least he’s not crooked. Despite the festive season, Christmas simply means less dough in his pocket.
With the holiday only a few days away, a regular client drops a new case on him: yet another being has come through the Rift and needs help finding his way home. Maybe Evindal the elf will help Nick find something too—a bit of cheer and magic amid the usual brew of corruption and betraya

Nick Bozic is a former Navy man. He signed up in 1941 and served on the Intrepid. Now he is a detective with some very odd cases.
Carmilla Karnstein works for Nick as his secretary. She keeps odd hours, which Nick doesn’t mind. She knows how to remove bloodstains from clothes, has a husky voice and is older than she looks.
At times there’s a strange event called the “Genre Rift” and it always creates business for Nick. Most of his cases are at the request of Amelia Sansone who owns the Sansone Booksellers business. It’s located in the upscale part of the city and she also rents apartments. Those that get caught in the Genre Rift always wind up at the dead end of on the third floor behind bars of the Sansone Booksellers. For Nick his job is to get the strange and not so strange back to their home and some he has to handle differently.
As Amelia has called for his help again, there really isn’t a need for Nick to rush. He finds himself face to face with Evindal, the flirtiest and sweetest little elf ever. As Nick tries to find a way to get Evindal home to the North Pole, he learns so much about the enthusiastic elf. Evindal is just awe struct with everything around him, as he’s never left the North Pole before.
As Nick really tries to find a way for Evindal to go home, they also learn so much about each other. Nick finds himself getting caught up in Evindal and he really needs a break from the sweet little elf. But finding a way for Evindal to go home is a conundrum.
“A Very Genre Christmas” is a delightful little story for the holiday season. Kim Fielding makes the story like a little guessing game with the descriptions that Nick provides of those that have come across with the Genre Rift. The story also brings out that it doesn’t matter how different you are and to always be your self. There’s also a sadness when Nick talks about his life without family, it’s so different from the joy Evindal has with his family.
To make this tale more fun there’s also an audio. It was narrated in 2021 by the top notch narrator, Greg Trembly. I’ve listened to Mr. Trembly’s narrations since 2014 and there are just no words for his talent. I loved how he portrayed Nick Bozic, as that tough, rough edge, soft hearted character. His portrayal of Evindal is right on point. The little elf is sweet and charming even when he get’s a little drunk. I like this collaboration with Kim Fielding and Greg Trembly.
For some sweet Christmas reading, I highly suggest “A Very Genre Christmas” by the talented Kim Fielding. It’s a story that will make you laugh and warm your heart!
