Home, , ,

What’s in the box?

I’m happy to share that I made it into the Chicken Soup For The Soul Christmas book for 2026! Writing goal accomplished.

These books make wonderful gifts. What better way to get into the holiday spirit than by reading uplifting stories. Some are heartwarming, some are inspirational, and others are downright funny.

So grab a copy and find out for yourself. Better yet, grab one for yourself and a friend.

A portion of the proceeds are donated to Toys For Tots.

Also, all of these stories are TRUE. There is no AI used in any of their books. Ever. I love that.

Enjoy!

Turns out, the crazy one had garnered his “permission” of sorts, and he was quite amused by this whole scene. So, he was certainly no help in getting me out of this one.
