So, some back story. In September I had to tell fellow author Jeffe Kennedy that I couldn't be in the anthology UNDER A WINTER SKY that she was heading up with L. Penelope and Melissa Marr. I was very disappointed, but there was no way I'd have my novella finished in time. Author Kelley Armstrong stepped into my slot (thank you, Kelley!)
However...
Jeffe and I were chatting one Saturday afternoon, and she said "How about a short story?"
This is why I'm a proponent of never say "never." ;)
UNDER A WINTER SKY is an anthology of winter holiday novellas by award-winning, USA Today and New York Times Bestselling authors Jeffe Kennedy, L. Penelope, Melissa Marr, and Kelley Armstrong.
And a novelette by me. :D
I came in under the wire with that tale (as I do with everything I write).
Anyhoo, my story A MEMORY OF SUMMER is now part of the UNDER A WINTER SKY anthology.
UNDER A WINTER SKY is currently available for preorder at all retailers with a release date of November 19, 2020 and will be available in both digital and print format.
Below is a description of my story.

A MEMORY OF SUMMER (a Wraith Kings tale)

Spinsterhood has never bothered or embarrassed the independent Emerence Ipsan, and the winter festival of Delyalda keeps her far too busy managing her father's shops to worry about matters as trivial as marriage.
Until the arrival of a young Quereci warrior with old eyes and an admiring gaze makes her question that notion.
A MEMORY OF SUMMER is a short novella that takes place in the world of the Wraith Kings series. For those who've read the first three books in the series (RADIANCE, EIDOLON, THE IPPOS KING), this storyline takes place after EIDOLON and before THE IPPOS KING. It runs concurrently with events in the novella IN THE DARKEST MIDNIGHT and reintroduces the Wraith king Gaeres.
Best - Grace
