Happy holidays! Christmas is my favorite time of year so I’m thrilled that my short story, A Prairie Promise, will be included in Blushing Books’ holiday anthology this year. Learn how you can read all the short stories for free at the end of this blog post.

A Prairie Promise features Aussie surfer, Kylie Sandford, who is house sitting her aunt’s home on the frozen Canadian prairie. Before she arrived in Edmonton Kylie had never seen snow in real life. Next door neighbor, Will, has been urging her to be more careful when she goes for a run in the bitterly cold weather. So far, she seems to be a very slow learner:

She spun on her toes to walk away. Before she took one step, he smacked her bottom. Hard.

“Ouch!” she said, staring back at him wide-eyed.

“A taste of things to come.” Will grinned. “Because so far you seem to be ignoring my advice. I’m not talking to exercise my vocal chords so the next time you forget, I will take great pleasure in turning your cheeks a nice Christmas red.”

Kylie had no answer for that. Struggling to steady her heart rate, she walked quickly back to her house hoping he didn’t see the blush crawling over her body.
