Ah, there you are!
Hello Reader. Let me introduce you to Hearth & Heart volume 2 2017 Winter Edition.
A little book filled with short stories written in the spirit of Winter Tales.
It begins with a little flight of fancy called Yule which forms the prelude to the book. It sets the mood for what's to come, and it begins, thus...
The season of Yule approaches! A light in the darkness. I hear it in the sound of sleigh bells and the tinkle of wind chimes tossed by the north wind. The muted sound of snow falling, a sound so faint there is nothing else like it...
What follows is a story called City of Embers. A cousin, you might say to The Voice of Fire, which appeared in Winter Tales in 2014. City of Embers was written that same year, and recounts a story of a city which appears in a fireplace. Pure fantasy.
After that comes Road Work, a brand new story I wrote this year. It was written to appear in Hearth & Heart Vol 3 2018 Autumn edition, but I have decided to suspend that publication for the time being, and wanted it to appear in what is perhaps my last edition of Hearth & Heart.
It tells the story of what happens when a bridge is opened up between heaven and earth.
The final short story is called Holly Magic and is a true story that reads like fiction. To me those are the very best stories. It brings in all the elements of Winter imagery.
There is one final story - a micro story called La Befana in honor of Epiphany, which appears on the back cover of the book.
I hope these stories find their way into your heart to warm you in the cold of the long dark nights of winter. They are at Pegana Press.
May they bring you good cheer.
