Christmas Lites

For the sixth year, I’ve participated in a great anthology, with a greater cause. Christmas Lites donates all proceeds to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Inside this year’s book, you’ll find not only a story by me, but also my daughter. The story themes vary, so there’s most likely something for everyone inside.

CoverBlurb:

Cthulhu wants to wish you a Merry Christmas. The Fae sprinkle their fairy dust to ensure your light never fades. Assassins and adventures alike keep the spirit of life alive. Even the mob brings their family to the dinner table for glorious feasts.

Feel  the magic of the season, the spirit of giving, the love of friends and family.

Discover bright new worlds, blood-pumping adventures,  true love and heartbreak as you explore the stories inside these covers.

For the sixth year in a row, authors from all over the world combined their efforts and talents to create the anthology in your hands. Not for fame or fortune, but to help those in need. Every dime raised from this anthology goes straight to those who provide the assistance to these people. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence has been helping in ways we can never imagine for years, and we are happy to help support their efforts.

Please visit their website at www.ncadv.org  for more information.

This is the fourth year our group of authors has put together this anthology, which benefits the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

This year, my story is called Accidentally Sweet. My daughter requested I write about a bakery, and so I have. While mine is short, but as with all the previous years, the other authors totally make up for it. This is a great group that I’m proud to be a part of. Please share so we can gift the NCADV with a great present in time for Christmas!
