Happy Howlidays is a short collection of Holiday-themed flash fiction that really captures the spirit of the Holidays.

One of my own stories is included, but I'll highlight a few of my favourites should you be interested in picking this up.

'The Toy Aisle' features a philosophical discussion between a stuffed rabbit and a games console about the meaning of Christmas, consumerism and the value of toys to their recipients.

'A Christmas Reunion' is a beautiful tale about being with the one you love during the Festive Period and how relationships are sometimes stronger than family.

Meanwhile, 'One Last Winter Ride' is a bittersweet yet touching story about a dragon who has outlived his children yet is called upon to save the Christmases of others.

Many of these stories have a poignancy and depth despite their brevity, with the book being a light and easy read. It's perfect fare for the Holidays, relaxing on the sofa with a hot chocolate or other warm beverage.
