From the back cover: Though it may be chilly enough outside to see your breath, the seventeen fur-raising stories by an outstanding collection of authors in The Bears of Winter will keep you as toasty as a big furry guy on a bearskin rug in front of a blazing fireplace.

Bears don’t just hibernate in winter anymore. All year long you’ll find them in caves, surrounded by their smartphones, big-screen plasma TV’s, and the latest in technology. Even so, they venture out in the cold and ice for food, fun, and romance, and the stories in this collection range far afield for their entertainment. And yours.

There are vampire bears, adventure bears, ice-harvesting bears, and Santa daddybears. Some are cute and cuddly, some will break your heart, and some will raise more than your spirits. But they’re all sexy, and they’re all between these covers. So come into our den and stay until Spring. Or longer.
