A few months back I joined a critique group of several women from around the country. Though we all fall under the romance category, we each favor different genres and tropes. Each week we post several chapters and receive feedback from the group during a phone call. We've also set up our own private chat room. I have never met any of these women in person, but they've become my closest friends, collaborators and confidants. On a lark we decided to give our little group a name (I'm not sure exactly how we landed on Peenerpuff but it fits) and write a Christmas anthology. Releasing December 1st, Jingle My Snowballs is our collection of shorts. We've got instalove, secret baby, paranormal, love triangle and several other tropes, all of which take place around the holidays. Between the time we decided to write this anthology and the publication date, there were only three weeks to pull this together. I've never written so fast in my life, and I don't want to make a habit of it. However, writing a short story was fun, and that I will do again. Jingle My Snowballs
