Winter Warmer: Thirteen Tales For The Season

by A.L. Butcher (Editor), Michael Kingswood, Robert Jeschonek

Winter, a time of festivity, of hardship, and cold. Perhaps it remains the most superstitious of seasons and for many the most beloved. Snow, feasting, gifts, religious significance, family and getting together. A time for storytelling!

Thirteen tales about, or set in, the harshest of seasons. From witches, icy realms and faery kings, to snowmen who build winter people of meat, to heroes battling to save a friend. From detectives trying to solve wintery crimes and mysteries to Christmas romance, there is something for everyone in this winter warmer.

Available for 3 months only — December, January, and February.
