The Oblivious Girl’s Handbook
Book 2 of the Handbook Series
By DelSheree Gladden
Being oblivious to all the signs that your life is about to fall apart doesn’t stop it from happening to Sara Taylor.
Alone except for the Siamese cat her boyfriend—ex-boyfriend—Joseph left behind to teach her a lesson, Sara has no clue how to survive on her own. She hasn’t handled her own bills in years, can’t meet a deadline without someone else programming alarms into her phone, and is constantly either losing important things or getting herself hopelessly lost. Sara has no idea how she’s supposed to move out of her university apartment and start her first real job without someone there to hold her hand.
Although she knows her new friend Monroe would step in to help, she’s not about to call him after having thrown him out of her apartment when his suspicions about Joseph prove true and Sara is left angry and mortified. It doesn’t take long before she is desperate to lean on someone else’s strength, even for just a few minutes, as real life begins to overwhelm her. Pride forces her to either sink or swim, even when sinking seems the most likely outcome.

The Man in the Cave
From Wartime Christmas Tales: A WWII Flash Fiction Anthology
By J.L. Oakley
J.L. Oakley contributed a short story to this anthology, a story set at Christmas time in occupied Norway during the second world war.
“I was just thirteen, Mamma’s only child left at home. Pappa was gone on a trek to the next village, but promised to be back in time to open presents and then go to Christmas Eve Service. Despite rationing and the harsh conditions under the German occupation, no one in our mountain settlement was going to forgo Christmas. Before he left, Pappa had cut a small pine tree and put it in our living room. We decorated its fragrant branches with red ribbons and angels made out of wheat straw. A candle was put on a table by the window that faced the snowy street. Normally, before the war, candlelight would cast glimmering light on the snow, but everyone was under orders from German command to keep the blackout curtains closed.”

And how is he supposed to get through Christmas with his family without the love of his life?
Harry Amdis loves George, but how can this crazy-hot guy be a vampire? And does he really believe he is one? Worse, Harry has a deadly secret of his own that goes back to his own nutty family. They can never be together. George has the kind of family Harry’s always envied. He wishes he could get over the fang part and love George for himself, his family, and his mom’s awesome fudge.
