It's time to celebrate!!
Our baby has a name!What? You didn't know I had a baby in progress? LoL. Actually, some of you did. It's the Christmas anthology I've been compiling.
Awhile ago the idea to put together a Christmas anthology hit me. It was a full-blown brain blizzard. I put it off but the idea wouldn't leave me alone so I finally shared it with some people...and that led to going for it.
A group of us, represented by the wonderful Linda Glaz, decided to take the plunge and go for getting a book out in time for Christmas. I've had the privilege of compiling the book and I have to tell you, I have been SO BLESSED by the stories. I cannot wait to share them with you!
At this point I don't have a cover or release date but that's okay. The book is well underway and it's all I can do to sit quietly and wait.
I still haven't told you the name! LoL. (Did I mention how excited I am?!)
*drum roll*

I like Christmas stories that aren't overly sappy. Wait. Is there such a thing? For my money, you still can't beat Dickens's A Christmas Carol, although The Grinch Who Stole Christmas comes in a close second!
ReplyDeleteLoL. Yes, there is such a thing, Tom!! Grinch is good. =]
DeleteCongratulations. What a great project. And, oh, the gift possibilities!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nancy. It's been a super FUN project!! =]
DeleteSo excited! (Yeah, I am one of them :D). And Tom, at least one of mine in there is DEFINITELY not sappy. In fact, I think it just may be YOUR kind of story.
ReplyDeleteWOOOWOO Peej!
You're right, Jo. Your story "Through Her Eyes" is NOT sappy. It's a cool take on...wait. I'll let you tell later. ;-)
DeleteMy favorite story is How the Grinch Stole Christmas. You've got this great villain who turns out to have a heart of gold with a wicked sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteYes! Great villains work well. You've got to love them. =]
DeleteOh, dear Tom....mine is one to make you cry. :) Well, at least there might be a sad glint in your eye...then a smile? We shall see. Sappy? Naw!
ReplyDeleteKaren, yours really needs a tissue warning, but it's soooo good. =]
DeleteCelebrating with you, Patty. I do like A Christmas Carol and the different movie
ReplyDeleteversions, especially The Muppet Christmas Carol. :) And for the record, my story is sappy, but the main character is a detective, so read at your own risk, Tom!
Kathy, I've not seen The Muppet Christmas Carol! I just might have to hunt that up this year. =]
DeleteMerry Christmas to you too, Karla!!
ReplyDelete=]
How cool Patty!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite kind of Christmas story are the ones that give me a different way of looking at what I thought I knew. Shift my perspective a bit and it adds to Christmas for me. :)
