Merry Christmas! I am so thankful that you chose to visit my little blog in the midst of your holiday preparations.
I love Christmas stories!
Don’t you?
Christmas is such a magical time of the year that any story set during Christmas instantly takes on this warm and fuzzy feeling of nostalgia and magic.
From the original Christmas when a God came to live as a lowly creation, to the story of a miser who’s heart was changed by spirits in one night, Christmas stories are ultimately about how to live everyday of the year.
If you are looking for a good seasonal story and will give you all the Christmas feels then check out this Fellowship of Fantasy blog post to read more about each book and find links to where you can buy them.
I’ve personally read at least half of these books and can promise you that they are amazing and full of holiday cheer.
Oh yeah, and one of them is mine.
My Christmas Card
This year I wanted to do something special for my Christmas cards.
I knew I wanted a music theme and I knew I wanted them to have a steampunk look.
I looked everywhere and I couldn’t find a card I liked.
Suddenly, it hit me. Why not just design my own? So I did. The result is the Christmas card you see below. It is very Christmas and very Steampunk.
May music show you the magic of the season.
The image is the girl from my cover art, holding her violin, surrounded by a holly wreath on a background of blue gears.
As the Lyrics tell you of the reason.
Warmest Wishes and Happy Holidays.

I also need to tell you about an anthology that I am in. It’s called Hope and Renewal 2021. It’s another one of the Challenge anthology from author Michelle Francik. It’s super short, mostly poetry, but it’s priced pretty reasonably and it does have a short story from me it. My story is titled Birth and it’s my attempt to figure out why people would even want to be born.
Also with al this talk of Christmas stories I want to leave you with a wonderful song that I love so much for the story that it tells. It’s a little sad but also upbeat. Listen at your own risk.
