Twenty three authors offered their stories to Unwrap These Presents with all the proceeds going to LGBT charities. Good stuff. I ejoyed reading the stories by authors whose work I have previously read along with some new to me authors who I look forward to reading in the future.
I took a few notes as I was reading. Here are the highlights.
Red and Green and Gray by Jove Belle
A story of courage and acceptance. I like the tentative way Charlie and Liz reached out to each other looking for common ground. Lovely.
The Miracle of the Lights.
Cindy Rizzo. Emotional and educational. Great to see Robin and Tracy make a cameo appearance and learning about Hasidic Jewish traditions was fascinating. Pretty amazing story when you make crusty old me tear up. Excellent.
A Christmas Epiphany - Wendy Temple
Claire and Margo discuss their daughter's relationship with all kinds of underlying memories of love lost and fates determined based on fear and uncertainty.
A New Christmas Carol by Eve Francis.
Caroline and Kim and a lucky pizza delivery. Kudos to Caroline for having the guts to follow her heart.
Christmas Road Trip by Jae
Funny and surprising. Full entertainment in a few short pages.
Holiday Spirit -Fletcher Delancey.
Awesome story. The emphasis on place and time sets up the story so well. The setting is as important a character as Robin and Evelyn and the ethereal Jackie. I loved the Holiday Spirit in this one. Will look for more by this author.
Elfin Magic by R.g. Emmanuelle was hot and steamy and funny. Win, win
First Christmas by Jean Copeland. Longing and discovery. A nice holiday treat.
Andi Marquette's Season's Meetings; So much heat in a glance, a couple of pairs of interesting boots and two very steamy mistletoe kisses. Loved it.
A Champagne Christmas by Clare Lydon. One word. Brilliant.
