Today I want to remind you all (for the last time, I promise!) of the Boughs of Evergreen holidays anthology. It’s a collection of various stories dedicated to holidays, and not just Christmas, but also Thanksgiving, Kwanzaa and more. All the stories I talked about at the beginning of the week are only a small part of the whole anthology pack. Each story is published individually, so make sure you go to Beaten Track Publishing’s website and check all of them out. You can also buy the two volumes of the anthology, that contain all the stories. Don’t forget: proceeds from sales of this anthology will be donated to The Trevor Project. The Trevor Project is the leading national organization [USA] providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) young people ages 13-24. For more information, visit: www.thetrevorproject.org.
BOOK DESCRIPTION
Boughs of Evergreen is a two-volume collection of short stories celebrating the holiday season in all its diversity. Penned by authors from the UK, the USA, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe, these are tales of the young and the not-so-young from many different walks of life.
Themes of family, friendship and romance take readers on a journey through some of the major holidays, both past and present, including Thanksgiving, Advent, St. Lucia Day, Hanukkah, Eid, Saturnalia, Winter Solstice, Yule, Christmas and New Year. In each we find at the very least hope, and often love, peace and happiness.
