Christmas on the Ocoee, a Christmas Novella, is officially out today.

Set in the foothills and river country of Southeast Tennessee, Christmas on the Ocoee is a quiet holiday novella about home, memory, and the places that shape us long after we leave them.

The story is fiction. The feeling is real. It grows out of winter mornings, cold river air, church bells, cedar smoke, and the slow pull of Appalachian hills in December.

This book is for anyone who has ever been homesick for a place they still carry with them. For anyone who knows that rivers remember, even when people move on.

Available now in paperback, hardcover, and ebook.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this work and the stories still to come.

If you read it, I hope it brings you a little warmth this season.

Take a minute and check out one of our publications written by our own Chris Burnette, one of the members of the El Burno Team.

No Longer Quiet by Chris Burnette is a call to conscience for an America at a crossroads. Blending personal experience, public service, and civic philosophy, Burnette explores what it means to defend democracy from the inside out. Through stories of leadership, duty, and dissent, he reminds readers that silence serves power—and that protecting our republic begins with the courage to speak up.
