Claudia Carroll has done a modern re-telling of A Christmas Carol for her digital short story, A Very Irish Christmas. The summary says: "This year, it's time for A Christmas Carole...
Carole is a workaholic so dedicated to her job at a 24/7 rolling news TV station, that she plans to work all over Christmas and New Year too. Same as she does every other year. But then when you're long-term single and married to your job, she thinks, what else is there to do?
But a midnight visit from the ghost of Christmases past, present and future soon makes her look at her life in a whole new way..." A Very Irish Christmas is out in December 2017.
