About the Book

It's the most wonderful time of the year ... but not for everyone. Celebrating the holidays isn't easy when your flight is canceled, or when you're working nights at the big box store, or when you're being haunted by the ghost of a deceased brother. These and other stories await five characters whose lives are about to change for the better when they discover The Spirit of Christmas. This collection of five novelettes is our way of saying "Thank You" to the people behind nanowrimo.org. Every purchase of this anthology will go toward their ongoing efforts to help writers achieve their goals each year. Individual Story Blurbs: MUSIC & MISTLETOE: Gentry Knight wants to spend her Christmas vacation with her headphones jammed in her ears and her guitar in hand. Instead, her mother forces her into community service at the Sunny Dale Rehab Center. Just as Gentry is convinced her vacation is ruined, she meets the super hot Luke Freeman. Maybe volunteering isn't so bad after all. A SIMPLE GIFT: Returning from a visit with their father, Grace, and her older sister, Amber, get stuck at the Detroit airport on Christmas Eve. They take a shuttle to a nearby hotel where the guests refuse to let the fact that they're stranded get them down. An impromptu Christmas Party is thrown, with lights, music and a special gift Grace never expects. BROTHER CHRISTMAS: When Christmas time is near, nine-year-old Evan Emerson is the only member of his family who can see his deceased brother, Maverick. But this year, they are both about to discover why--even if it costs Evan his life. THE BEST GIFT EVER: When KeLynn's family is killed in an accident on Christmas day, she's left alone to pick up the pieces. As the one-year anniversary of their deaths inch closer, it gets harder and harder to live, let alone celebrate Christmas. That is until, the cute geek next door tries to help. The only problem. . .he says he talks to her dead mother. FLIRTING WITH THE PHOTO GIRL: Cash is stuck working on Christmas, but he's not big on the holiday so he doesn't mind too much, especially since the girl he's wanted to ask out is also working. But when Tami tells him all the things she'll miss about the holiday while they'll be stocking boxes, Cash does what he can to make it special for her, while finding meaning in the season for him.
About the Author: J. A. Bennett is mother to three cute kiddos and a master of Taekwondo. Okay so maybe that last part is a lie, but it sounded really good. When she's not writing she's probably either reading or thinking about writing. She currently resides in Tooele, Utah with her sexy husband and the aforementioned kiddos. Eventually the day came when the voices in Kelley Lynn's head were more insistent then her engineering professor's. So instead of turning to her Thermodynamics book, Kelley brought up a blank page on her computer screen and wrote. Somewhere along the way she became a Young Adult author. FRACTION OF STONE (Sapphire Star Publishing) was released in March 2013. ROAD TO SOMEWHERE, Kelley's collab with Jenny S. Morris, is to be released by Bloomsbury Spark in January 2014. David was born in beautiful downtown Burbank, California, where his love for film inspired him to become a writer. An avid fan of all things science fiction and fantasy, David also has a soft spot for zombies and the paranormal. He now lives in the mountain West with his wife and two children. When Jessica kept seeing a scene play over and over in her head, she decided the only thing she could do was write it down. That or go crazy. One chapter turned into ten and she thought 'huh, maybe I can write a book.' Books had always been an integral part of her life; she just never thought she could write one. Now on her third novel, she knows it's something she can never live without. Becca Ann writes in her super duper clean house with her angel children who fan her while she clacks away on the keyboard. When she wakes up to the real world, she manages to get in a few hours here and there between all the chaos two little boys and a wittle baby girl can cause to get the stories out of her head and on the computer.
