Three Announcements

First, I have an announcement. The first book in my fantasy series, The Unfinished Song, will be out as an ebook in time for Christmas. The cover is a surprise which I will reveal sometime in the next few days. Look out for it!

Second, speaking of covers, now that the stories are in for the Notes from the Underground anthology at The Literary Lab, I expect to be working on that cover soon too.

Third, one of my stories is a finalist to appear in an another anthology. I’ll keep you updated as I hear more news on this.

Christmas Surprise

Twelve Days of Christmas Videos – Welcoming Christmas

These are what I think of as welcoming Christmas songs. The first one, We Need a Little Christmas, was a favorite of my mom’s when I was growing up. It was the first song she would put on when we brought out the Christmas records each year. She would sing the line, “I’ve grown a little older and I need a little angel sitting on my shoulder,” and smile, and it was always a bit bittersweet. Silver Bells is another wonderful, “getting into the mood” song. Alan Jackson’s Let it be Christmas became a new favorite of mine the first time I heard it, which was last year.
