Woo hoo! So, it’s the first day of my 12 days of Christmas Stories Giveaway! I am so excited about this 🙂
I’ve got a bumper one to start with: not one, not two but seven Christmas stories!
Wish Come True is a charity anthology that was planned for release today but ended up releasing a day early yesterday . There are stories by Keira Andrews, Amy Jo Cousins, Megan Erickson, Anyta Sunday, Suki Fleet, Kaje Harper and… um, me!
I’ve not read anyone else’s stories yet so I’m anxious to start reading this one myself.
The proceeds of this anthology are going to Lost-N-Found Youth , an Atlanta-based nonprofit corporation whose mission is to take homeless lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youths to age 26 off the street and transition them into more permanent housing.
My contribution is called Mr Perfect’s Christmas and is the story of Sam Warren, a young lawyer who’s trying to find his way in a new and very different job. Everything – including his attraction to arch-rival Nick Foster – comes to a head at the office Christmas party. (Note: this is a heavily revised version of a story I previously released under the name Eva Clancy).
To enter the giveaway, please leave a comment about your dearest wish as of right now.
The winner will be decided on Thursday 3rd December at 8pm GMT.
Oh, and because this is a charity anthology, rest assured I’ll be purchasing the prize!
Make sure to pop back for more giveaways. I’ll have one every day from 1st-12th December 2015!
EDITED TO ADD – WINNER OF GIVEAWAY IS D J JAMISON – CONGRATULATIONS!

Except for college I’ve always lived no more than an hour away from my parents and siblings. Seven years ago siblings started moving away from California. When my parents retired three years ago they moved away as well and then my last sibling moved. I now have siblings in Kansas, Alabama and Pennsylvania with my parents in Tennessee. My dearest wish would be for all of us to be together for Christmas whether it was in one of those states or back in California where I currently live. I miss my family.

My dearest wish as of right now, having just got off the phone with my Dad, is that I don’t totally bollocks up Christmas Dinner this year.
When I was a child, it was always my Dad that did Christmas Dinner (the only lunch of the year we were allowed to call dinner). And it was always turkey. And then ten years ago, I took over cooking duties on a bet with my Dad, and I’ve…just continued to do it every year, which has worked out quite nicely, as my Dad’s MS means that he’s less mobile and dexterous. We’ve never had to have the ‘maybe it’s not safe for you to do Christmas Dinner’ chat, because I took over before that really became an issue. But anyways, Dad wants venison this year, which I’ve never done before…eeeep.
