Winter's Bite
Dear Santa,
I'm afraid (but not sorry), that I've been very naughty this year. Every night I find myself spying on my sexy neighbors. But I'm starting to think that maybe there's something more than just sexy man love going on... I think I may be witnessing something paranormal.
So Santa, could you please let know what's really going on with the guys next door?
Thank you, Santa!
I'm off to commit more Random Acts of Naughty!

S.L. Armstrong has been writing for as long as she can remember. Art and reading have played a large part in her life since young childhood, but around fourteen, writing became her passion. Voraciously consuming every book in front of her opened up hundreds of worlds in her head, and she soon wanted to create worlds for other people as well. She has a particular fondness for gothic horror, horror, high fantasy, urban fantasy, and romance novels. The authors she turns to time and again are Stephen King, L.J. Smith, V.C. Andrews, R.L. Stine, and Anne Rice, among others. She has no shame in picking up the young adult novels she loved as a child, and she will talk your ear off about grammar and punctuation.
After she married her husband over seventeen years ago, she began to truly delve into the world of writing for public consumption. It was sheer chance that she stumbled on M/M fanfiction, and she's not looked back. Though fanfiction will always have a fond place in her heart, she soon grew tired of playing in other people's sandboxes. When she discovered M/M romance, and how it was now a legitimate branch of romance writing, she knew her course. S.L. plans to release F/F, M/M, M/F, and multiple partner books as she continues her writing career. M/M romance is where her heart lies, no matter what else she may write or read, and it's where she keeps returning to. There is something about two men passionately in love that just makes her heart melt, and she has no intention of giving that up anytime soon.
S.L. Armstrong lives in Florida with her husband, partner, two dogs, and twelve cats. She hates the heat and longs for a northern, snowy climate. She writes with K. Piet on a number of projects, but she also writes her own solitary titles as well.

3.5 stars!
I read the Stuff my Stocking Anthology about a year ago and as Winter's Bite is a bonus story and thus not included in the anthology, I missed out on it until now. I'm very happy that I found this short paranormal story thanks to the many amazing lists here on Goodreads.
Elijah is watching his mysterious neighbor Roan every single day and he is trying to figure out what Roan's strange habit of leaving the house when the sun is already down and not coming back until dawn is all about. It really isn't difficult to understand at all and deep inside himself, Elijah might have had his own suspicions, but he can't keep from trying to find out for sure.
The story was very short, but I loved the dynamics between Roan and Elijah; they are very got together. I loved the fact, that we didn't get that much information on the world this story is playing in, it increased the mysterious situation Elijah felt and transmitted it to the reader.
I have the feeling that these two have some great potential for further stories.

Vampires are both chill and hot, as Roan is in this short story. Who could resist? You would think Elijah could connect the dots that his gorgeous neighbor had a very odd lifestyle. Well written and I enjoyed this.

*******Bonus Story*******
This is not included in the anthology Stuff My Stocking: M/M Romance Stories that are Nice and… Naughty!!!
**************************
Elijah watches his hot neighbor Roan every day when he leaves after the sun is down and comes back shortly before dawn. Elijah is quite obsessed with Roan and when he eventually tries to get a glimpse into Roan's house he gets to know more about him as he hoped for...
It's not quite hard to figure out what's odd about Roan just by reading Elijah's description of his habits.
I would love to read more about Elijah and Roan. They were hawt!

Cute, stalker paranormal scene. Perfect, I had to read Christmas decoration on the cover story, and really didn't want a Christmas story in March. I'm happy I found this.
