Christmas in the Desert

It always seems like Christmas when a new book releases,

but even more so with this one since it's a Christmas Collection.

[image error]

I'm sure I'm prejudice, but I love the cover and can imagine the red bow

peeping out of a gift bag.

It's one of Barbour's popular annual Christmas Anthologies.

It has nine stories by well-known authors.
