"Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy."—Eskimo Legend.
Written In The Stars is a charity anthology of Christmas themed short stories and the brainchild of friend and fellow author Tara Lyons. Sadly, Tara lost her beautiful daughter Sofia in 2020. In 2021, on what would have been Sofia's third birthday, Tara, in a bid to turn her pain and sadness into something positive, came up with the idea of a festive anthology with all the net profits going to charity, which you can read about in my interview with Tara.
With a surprise bonus story, this delightful compendium includes twenty-three stories by twenty-three different authors and is divided into three parts: 'A Christmas Crime' – including the criminally twisted humour of bestselling author CJ Stone. 'Holly Jolly Christmas' – which includes a contemporary festive feel-good romance by former journalist Natasha Boydell. And last but not least, 'It's A Christmas Miracle' (including a contribution by yours truly) – featuring, among many other brilliant writers, the haunting tale of a mother's love by Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Angela Marsons. So, whatever your reading taste, there really is something for everyone in this wonderful collection of stories.
Released on 17th October, if you only buy one festive themed book this year, make sure it's Written In The Stars. Whether it's a gift for yourself or the booklovers in your life, not only will it serve as the perfect reading companion in the run up to, and during the Christmas holidays, but all the net profits go to two very worthwhile charities. Which means, that while this festive gem is getting you into the Christmas spirit, every copy bought will also help or enhance the lives of others, which, I'm sure you'd agree, is the epitome of the true meaning of Christmas.
Click here to order your ebook copy (currently only 99p) or you can buy it as a paperback from 17th October.
And look out for my interview with Tara, which I'll post in the next few days,
