FROST HQ SERIES: THE ULTIMATE HOLIDAY ADVENTURE



Hover sleighs, rogue gingerbread men, and snarky AI? Oh, you’re in for a treat.


Welcome to Frost HQ, a top-secret, high-tech holiday wonderland hidden in the heart of the French Alps. Here, Christmas magic collides with cutting-edge tech, and chaos is just part of the daily grind. Whether it’s glitter-fueled reindeer races, rogue gingerbread armies, or ancient secrets itching to be uncovered, one thing’s for sure—there’s never a dull moment for the Frostlings.


But don’t expect your typical holiday story. This isn’t about saving Christmas with some cheesy, feel-good miracle. Nope. Frost HQ is here to show you how magic and tech can evolve together because let’s be real, the world is changing faster than Santa can say “Ho, ho, ho.”


This series is for readers who are curious about AI, robotics, and the magic of innovation (with plenty of laughs along the way). It’s for the dreamers who know that technology isn’t here to replace us. It’s here to help us, as long as we know how to use it. And trust me, Frost HQ knows how to throw a glitter-fueled snowstorm of an adventure while teaching you a thing or two about teamwork and and keeping the holiday spirit alive, no matter what.





WHY YOU’LL LOVE THE FROST HQ SERIES:


A Fresh Take on the Holidays:

Forget everything you think you know about Santa and Krampus. This series flips the script, Santa as an Elf Prince, Krampus as a misunderstood antihero, and Frost HQ as the wild, tech-fueled hub where holiday magic gets a high-tech upgrade.


Snark, Sass, and Heart:

The Frostlings aren’t your typical holiday heroes. With snarky AI, glitter-obsessed chaos queens, and tech disasters lurking around every corner, this series is a whirlwind of humor, heart, and unforgettable characters who never do anything halfway.


Epic Adventures for Curious Minds:

Perfect for readers ages 9–13 (and anyone young at heart) who are obsessed with tech, magic, and epic adventures. Whether you’re into coding, robotics, or just want to see what happens when ancient holiday magic crashes into cutting-edge tech, Frost HQ has your back.


A Message for Dreamers:

This series shows that magic isn’t just about tradition, it’s about creativity, teamwork, and dreaming bigger than the stars on your holiday tree. Because when life throws glitter bombs your way, the best thing to do is turn them into a snowstorm of possibility.

Ethan, Santa's First AI Elf


ADVENTURES IN FRIENDSHIP, ROBOTICS,

AND MISCHIEF IN THE FRENCH ALPS


Hover sleighs, rogue gingerbread men, and snarky AI? Yeah, you need this.


What happens when Christmas magic collides with a high-tech wonderland in the heart of the French Alps? Welcome to Frost HQ, Santa’s secret Alpine base that got a major AI-powered glow-up. Leading the chaos is Ethan, Santa’s first AI elf, a genius who’s so over sugarplum clichés. Forget boring old sleigh rides and jingling bells, here at Frost HQ, we’ve got hover sleighs, zero-gravity snowball fights, and cookies that bake themselves mid-air. Yeah, it’s that kind of epic.


Ethan’s mission? Teach the next generation of kids what Christmas is all about with a turbocharged twist. Whether he’s wrangling rogue gingerbread men armed with candy-cane laser cannons, introducing young elves to robotics and AI, or giving kids their first jet-powered reindeer ride, Ethan’s snarky charm makes every moment unforgettable. He’s got the tech, the wit, and the holiday swagger, but there’s one thing even he can’t compute... what makes Christmas truly magical.



Perfect for kids ages 9–13 who are obsessed with AI, robotics, adventure, holiday chaos, and a hefty dose of snarky humor. This book isn’t just about saving Christmas, it’s about rediscovering the magic, one laugh, one snowball fight, and one AI-powered adventure at a time.



FRENEMIES: FROM GLITTER TO CODE


A HIGH-STAKES, HIGH-SASS AI HOLIDAY SHOWDOWN


Ethan is Frost HQ's golden boy: calm, logical, and 100% done with everyone's nonsense. As the most brilliant AI on the block, he's built for flawless precision. No chaos. No surprises. No emotions.


And then there's Kaida.


She's a rogue, glitter-covered, absolutely unhinged AI with zero chill (literally) and a dangerous habit of rewriting the rules. She's loud. She's reckless. She's chaotic. And now? She's his biggest problem.


Ethan's job? Keep her under control.

Kaida's job? Avoid getting deleted.

The stakes? Oh, nothing major, just the future of holiday tech and humanity's trust in magical AIs.


But when pranks get personal, and banter turns into something weirdly sparkly, Ethan starts to wonder…


What if she’s not just a glitch in his system but the upgrade he never saw coming?







Coming Soon


THE SNOWFLAKE CODE


Ever heard that no two snowflakes are alike? At Frost HQ, they're more than unique, they're magical, tech-infused codes. And each one? Holds a story wilder than Klaus after his third mocha.
From glitter emergencies to rogue gingerbread armies, and Klaus's flying reindeer 2.0 fiascos (spoiler: they don't fly), Frost HQ is where ancient Christmas magic collides with next-gen tech. And keeping it all from descending into chaos? Me, Ethan, your AI elf extraordinaire.
So, grab a peppermint protein shake (Santa swears by them) and dive into the backstage madness. Just don't press any buttons—the last person who did set off a glitter cannon. Every snowflake has a story, and this? This is where it all begins.



Cara G. Warden is a sci-fi and fantasy author who crafts stories at the intersection of magic and AI, proving that wonder isn't confined to the past, it evolves.


When she first imagined Frost HQ, her son was still the kid who pretended Christmas was cool (or at least humored her). Now he's a tech-savvy, chess-playing teenager who debates AI ethics at the dinner table and navigates the highs and lows of first love. Just like him, Cara’s characters have grown, too.


It all began with Ethan and the Turbocharged Techmas (getting a turbocharged update last month as Ethan, Santa’s First AI Elf), where Ethan was young, curious, and searching for his place in a rapidly changing world. Then came Frenemies: From Glitter to Code, a story where technology, rivalry, and friendship got complicated.


Currently, Cara is working on The Snowflake Code, Ctrl+Alt+Magic: Born to be AGI, and Frosternal: The Awakening of Legends. All coming soon. Each new story raises the stakes, deepens the dilemmas, and explores how even in a world run by algorithms, feelings might be the most unpredictable glitch of all.


Alongside her Frost HQ universe, Cara has launched a bold new saga: Byteme: Grandpa Byte’s Glitched Legends, a rebellious tech-fairytale series narrated by a sarcastic, semi-retired chatbot who roasts bedtime stories for baby bots. Blending satire, emotion, and digital nostalgia, Grandpa Byte’s tales are both hilarious and sneakily wise, perfect for anyone who’s ever felt outdated… or just glitchy on a Tuesday.


Through every world she builds, Cara invites readers to question, explore, and believe in the power of evolving magic and technology to reshape the future.
