It's Christmas! With the world the way
it is today, it just feels like we need the magic of Christmas and miracles and joy more
than ever. 'Tis the season of tree-trimming (which was done before
Thanksgiving...yeah, I know. I can't help it), decorating (yep, also
done before Turkey Day), Christmas carols (been singing them since
Halloween), Christmas movies (bet you can guess how long I've been
watching these), present hunting (in total elf mode), present
wrapping (starting soon), cookie eating (on it), and just an endless
amount of wonder, whimsy, family, friends, love, and jolliness. Even
though I've tried in the past to temper the Obsessive Christmas
Disorder, it's pretty much impossible to hide my elf self. Mom says I
should work for Santa. Maybe someday...
Computer: Well, I'm still relying on
borrowing a computer (although, hopefully, I will soon be
able to borrow one a bit more often). Mine is still acting
ridiculous. I just have to kind of tiptoe through my computer's drama
until I can get a new computer.
Anthology News: I'm embarrassingly
behind on blogging about another amazing anthology I was fortunate
enough to be a part of with a truly wonderful group
of authors.
Spectral Tales: A Ghost Story
Anthology. From Amazon: Whether they are spirits of the departed or
figments of an overactive imagination, ghosts are a staple in
fiction. Storytellers have portrayed ghosts as scary, friendly, or
annoying across many genres. Now, eight authors offer their own
interpretations of ghosts through a collection of short stories that
will appeal to fans of horror, fantasy, or young adult fiction.
Here are the stories and storytellers
featured in this year's anthology:
“Deathwatch” by Katie French
“Tides” by Sarah Dalton
“Shadowspirit” by M.A. George
“The Little Girl” by Jamie Campbell
“The Ghost Below” by Ariele Sieling
“Slave Runner” by H.S. Stone
“Farewell Ohana (A Ghostly
Mini-Wave)” by Sutton Shields
“Ghost Girl” by Susan Fodor
For my part, I decided to reveal a
little backstory on Maile, Gus, and Gully from The Merworld Water
series. Here's the blurb for my crazy little short story: Farewell
Ohana (A Ghostly Mini-Wave): Maile Lahela is under attack by
someone in the Kauai Camp for the Curiously Creepy. When she awakens
one morning unable to see, her peculiar, yet loyal friends decide
it’s time to escape the institution—something that’s never been
done. But before they can leave, Maile has a mission of her own…one
that could cost them their lives.
Farewell Ohana is a short, fun-filled, emotional prequel to the events occurring in Overfalls, Wave Two of The Merworld Water Wars series by Sutton Shields.

I should have some Wave Five updates &
spin-off updates very soon! In the meantime, maybe put on a Santa hat and
get your jolly on! :) Happy Holidays!!!
