Here’s hoping everyone made it through the holiday without too much stress and had a wonderful Christmas!

Mine was fairly quiet, which was fine with me. I got a few nice gifts from nice people, visited family, and spent the rest of the evening relaxing.

Oddly enough, one of my most touching gifts was from a vendor who works the sidewalk at my job.
I’ve never bought from him, but we’ve often talked casually. On Christmas Eve he insisted on treating me to a meal with “the works” and a huge grin, and wouldn’t take no for an answer.
Because I’d always been nice to him, he said.
I was so moved. Because I know he only pulls in $40-$50 or so a day. And knowing he had so little to give made that giving all the more sweet.

Now. On a hotter note—

Thanks to evil geniuses Jackie Barbosa and Emma Petersen, and in honor of the 12 days of Christmas, 12 wicked authors have written 12 wicked free stories for a wicked good anthology called “TWELFTH NIGHT”.
After all twelve have been posted, they’ll be put together and offered in a free e-book.

Because of the holiday I’m a little late posting. The links for the first three stories can be found HERE. I’ll try to post a reminder note about each, but the rest of the offerings will be as follows:
