The stories in this collection should embrace the winter season and everything it brings with it: fuzzy socks, warm blankets, crackling fireside chats, cuddles and snuggles, frozen lakes, getting snowed in . . . Bring the family drama, bring the breakups, bring the black ice and slippery roads. Sneak in a little bit of suspense and magic if you’d like. Just keep the overall feeling cozy.

The stories in this anthology can hint at the holidays but shouldn’t center around one specific holiday. This is not a faith-based collection.
