It’s a release day! “Pippin and Rose and Fir” is here!

This is my short story contribution to the JMS Books Christmas in July celebrations, and it’s a very nostalgic one – lots of memories of a childhood full of my father and brother working Christmas trees at the local nursery, the decorations, the scents of fir, the needles everyplace, the sharp sticky smell of sap, the glitter and shine of the indoor trees, decorated in fantastical ways; one year they did an upside-down tree…

So now I’ve used that for romance-writing purposes! *laughs*

It’s got…Christmas trees, a garden center, a kiss under holiday lights, and a next-morning, oops, I thought we were just two employees, but surprise, you’re the boss’s son, realization…
