Vanessa Wester:
One of your collection of short stories is holiday-themed. Is this your favorite time of the year? What inspired the Festive Feast Collection?
Vanessa Wester
Thank you for asking a question! I am new to this and only just saw it!
The reason I wrote First Date was for the Christmas Anthology, A Festive Feast, to raise money for charity. However, I could not stick to 5000 words and it doubled in size. This is why it ended up longer, and I then had to write another one, The Engagement Party, for the Anthology.
However, I do love Christmas time and admit it is my favourite time of the year. I have many other special memories to write about. One day I might disclose more of my true stories, but to be safe I'll wait a few years. Don't want to embarrass anyone!
