Finding Gray
It was middle of December, and I was feeling blue. My family was a dysfunctional mess all year round (never mind the holidays), but now that I had a found family with the Seven, I wanted this year to be special. The thing I wished for most, though? To see my friend and canine companion, Louis.
My boyfriend, Alistair, tried to cheer me up (and he definitely could heat up a chilly December!) and my friends rallied too, but nothing could quite cure my holiday depression. Especially when Alistair started disappearing and I didn’t even have him for a distraction.
Would I ever see Louis again, or would the holidays pass without his sweet self? And what was Alistair up to?
A little bit of magic, a little bit of love, and a little bit of healing go a long way in this short story about Boneyard Café series characters. Enjoy as part of the series or read as a standalone holiday story.

A short and sweet holiday novella so many of us can relate to.
The holidays aren’t always gingerbread and gumdrops for everyone and Gray is feeling the blues.
She’s missing her friends, her demon boyfriend is being elusive, her mind is trying to trick her.
But in the end, she discovers what matters to her and she gets a wonderful surprise. Embracing the meaning of the holiday and representing mental health.
