My Seventeenth Anthology Publication – Holiday Spirit by Dragon Soul Press

Happy Holidays!

I’m in the holiday spirit because my new adult speculative romantic suspense, “The Snow Globes of Tinsel Falls,” is out in Holiday Spirit by Dragon Soul Press. This is my seventeenth anthology publication, and my last of the year.

You can get a copy of Holiday Spirit as an ebook or paperback through Amazon.

A Peek Into “The Snow Globes of Tinsel Falls”

Out of all the short stories I wrote this year, “The Snow Globes of Tinsel Falls” is definitely a favorite. I have always thought snow globes have a magical aura, and that inspired this story.

“The Snow Globes of Tinsel Falls” is a total genre mashup and has lots of elements I love all wrapped up in one Christmas tale. There’s a heartwarming love story, suspense from a mysterious disappearance, fantasy from magical snow globes, and light horror from an eerie antique shop.

Angelina doesn’t believe in magic, especially not since her fiancé, Cole, mysteriously disappeared the Christmas Eve prior. While walking home from her snow globe shop, Angelina feels compelled to stop by Dusty Treasures, the Tinsel Falls antique store and the last place her fiancé was spotted before he went missing. At the shop, Angelina buys a snow globe identical to the one she found in her apartment the night of Cole’s disappearance. She takes the sphere home, where it begins to glow, hovers in the air, then makes Angelina fall through the glass. Trapped inside the snow globe, Angelina ventures into the stone cottage surrounded by evergreens. There, she reunites with Cole and thinks she’s dreaming, but a midnight kiss of true love and Angelina believing in magic may be their only hope of returning back home together on Christmas Day.

“The Snow Globes of Tinsel Falls” is my most experimental and genre-blending story yet, and I couldn’t be happier that it found a home in Holiday Spirit and tied the bow on my 2025 anthology publications.

Opening My Copy of Holiday Spirit

The anthology was published on December 20, and my copy arrived a few days after Christmas. I loved opening the book by my tree. You can watch the video on YouTube.

I was all festive with the book by the tree.

Thank you so much to the Dragon Soul Press team for publishing “The Snow Globes of Tinsel Falls” in Holiday Spirit. Receiving my copy made this holiday season extra special, and I loved wrapping up my 2025 publications with one of my favorite stories.

Now, I really want to own a magical snow globe!
