Frost

One of four anthologies we plan to publish for Christmas.​​

 

Intended as a Christmas gift, this is a collection of stories to help while away those long winter evenings.  Stories should celebrate the things we love about winter  - roaring fires, cosy pubs, hearty food and warming drinks, winter TV, snuggling up to watch a film. Not to mention the great outdoors - crisp woodland walks, sledging, winter sports, snowman building.

That's not to say that your story needs to be sentimental or schmaltzy  - you can choose the genre, the mood and the theme - we just ask that you set it in winter.
