Hello!

As I am writing this, there is no snow outside my window, yet the holiday spirit is all around me in the manner of lights, yard decorations, and the holiday books on display at the local library. I have not completed my cards or shopping, but I did come up with some holiday ideas for my fellow readers and writers. I wanted to share them with you in this week's article.

Here's the latest article from the Short Stories site at BellaOnline.com.
