A new short story collection from VICKI BATMAN just in time for your Holiday TBRlist!

Amazing writer – and fellow WRP sistah – VICKI BATMAN, has a new collection of short stories out, just in time for your holiday shopping – and reading!!!

Here’s an exclusive peek of SOMMERVILLE HOLIDAYS TOO

From the author:

Often, I’m asked how I write short stories. Some authors tell me they just can’t write that short. I actually prefer short over long. Long drives me crazy.

I didn’t begin my writing by writing short stories. Way back when, a friend and I critiqued, she asked me to review her shorts, and quickly, I adapted. I wrote some and sold some. I took a class and the teacher taught me how to write from a word or picture prompt. So far, I’ve written close to forty stories. Fun!

So what to do with these lovelies? I package them into one book, the latest being Sommerville holidays too. Included is:

“The Great Fruitcake Bake-off” – I love fruitcake. My favorite is Tomato Cake, a recipe from my grandmother. Now don’t get all wacky over the tomato part. This is a war recipe and contains tomato soup, which you don’t taste. Included are nuts, spices, and fruit, which makes for one delicious cake.

In “Bake-off,” my heroine and her neighbor enter a holiday baking contest. Bad guys are plotting to take the crown, and they find first prize isn’t just about a ribbon.

“Christmas Romeo” – I love cruises. Unpack once. Eat great food. Nice people take you nice places. Totally awesome. I did cruise the Rhine River and now know there is a winter one with all these fabulous markets. (Rats, missed that shopping.) So what if… When two feuding co-workers win Christmas river cruises at the company holiday party, they discover each other isn’t so bad after all.

“Twinkle Lights” – I LOVE and ADORE fresh Christmas trees. For years, my family and I traveled to the local tree farms and chopped one down. We roasted hotdogs and marshmallows, too. Now, we shop at a family-run tree stand nearby. So I wondered… When the owner of a Christmas tree stand, which benefits the children’s hospital, has a heart attack, a do-gooder and a reformed high school delinquent turned lawyer show their holiday spirit and staff the business. The twosome meet the challenges of running the establishment; yet, when revenue goes missing, fingers are pointed.
