The McCray Parables: The Fountain of Truth

Boy meets girl. Boy tells three Christmas stories to BS girl into dating him. Boy should probably keep his mouth shut.

It’s Christmas Eve, and Douglas McCray, chief holiday grinch, has just met the woman of his dreams.

Miranda is visiting his company on business, trying to sell it marketing materials it doesn’t want and having no luck. But when Douglas’s attempted introduction accidentally fools her into thinking he’s in management with the power to buy the products she’s peddling, he must tell her three holiday-themed stories to backtrack on his deception and convince her he’s neither a liar nor an idiot, while also helping her get the sale she wants, and maybe, hopefully, getting a date out of her in the process.

The McCray Parables: The Fountain of Truth is the retelling of the original stories from the 2015 edition of The Fountain of Truth, which include ＂The Fountain of Truth,＂ ＂Christmas Log,＂ and ＂St. Nick’s Gym,＂ all now re-imagined as catalysts for a new ongoing series featuring Douglas, Miranda, and their cast of wacky friends and coworkers, continuing the tradition of telling feel-good fables at Christmas while simultaneously teaching its storyteller a lesson in humility and thoughtfulness.

This updated edition also includes the follow-up story Happy New Life. In Happy New Life, Douglas and Miranda meet for dinner on New Year’s Eve and learn shocking truths about each other while telling the stories of ＂Happy New Life,＂ ＂New Fear’s Eve,＂ and ＂Hopeful New Wife＂ to gain the upper hand over the other in a tug-of-war battle exposing the realities of a future where they might hit it off but also possibly regret it.

Will their storytelling bring them closer together in a lifetime of happiness, or will it set them up for failure and heartbreak?

The McCray Parables is the official launch of a new holiday series inspired by the stories of The Fountain of Truth and will continue Douglas and Miranda’s story in future installments.
