I’ve written a lot of holiday stories over the last five years and this year I’ve got a bunch of them for you. Not only did my holiday collection, Winter Wonders: Twelve Magical Holiday Stories, get released, but now my short story “A Major Christmas Eve” has been published in Romance for All Seasons: Winter Warmth.
I must say I’m pretty delighted to be in this anthology for a bunch of reasons, but mainly because this is a contemporary romance anthology, so no ghosts, no spaceships, no elves. Given my scifi geek background, I’m just so pleased to have written a straight up romance that was good enough to land in this anthology with all these other amazing writers.
“A Major Christmas Eve” is a sweet second-chance romance between two older people that have been through a lot and think that love is done with them. It takes place in a lovely mountain town and features a bookstore called Major Books. It’s a bit nostalgic, a bit sweet, and examines how finding the right person matters at any age.
If you are looking for some stories to warm up your winter this is a great choice!
Here’s the blurb:
In this supersized inaugural issue, Romance for All Seasons is proud to present a stellar lineup of sixteen stories of sweet wintertime romance sure to warm your heart on the coldest, darkest nights of the year. Fall in love with these all too human heroines and heroes as they slip and fall, stumble and bumble, trip and even faceplant their way to happiness together.
Penned by a group of amazing short story writers, each of these tales will leave you with that wonderful “ah” feeling romance readers live for!
