My short story, The Least of Light, published in OpenDoor’s Frost & Fire anthology

The Least of Light, my short story about an alternative to Christmas, has been published by OpenDoor Magazine in their latest anthology entitled, Frost & Firelight.

The short stories, poetry and images in this beautifully produced publication “seamlessly melds two contrasting yet enchanting facets of this season: the invigorating chill of frost, symbolizing cleansing, and the comforting warmth and safety emanating from a crackling fire.”

The Least of Light is a story about how an old man and his seven-year-old friend come up with an alternative to Christmas, one that celebrates the season and embraces the environment rather than attempting to overcome and diminish it. It is an example of hybrid writing combining poetry and prose.

At OpenDoor Magazine, they “strive to stay a free opportunity for poets, authors, artists, and songwriters to submit to – as well as keeping the magazine free to subscribe. This allows more opportunity for the artists and those who wish to discover them.”

Indeed, you can download a free copy of this very attractive publication​ at Frost & Firelight You’ll find my story accompanied by one of my photographs beginning on page 49.

How you ask, do co-creators Melanie Haagman and Kassie J. Runyan sustain the publication if it’s free? For more information and to support this endeavor visit their Support Page
