Holidays & Homicides is a collection of short stories written by a group of amazing authors who have books published through Gemma Halliday Publishing.  Each short stories gives readers a glimpse into the characters and settings surrounding the series that they write about.  This gives the readers a little Christmas fun as well as allows you to pick your next books .... or if you are like me and you have read books by the authors, it just makes you fall in love with them some more.

Even though the authors are cozy mystery authors not all the short stories involve murder, some of them do, which again sheds some light on their creative story telling.

I dare you to pick a favorite.  Every time I was reading one, it became my favorite, and I was sure it would remain that way.  But then I began reading the next one and that jumped to the top of the list.

From Thanksgiving until after the New Year everyone is busy so if you can sit down with a short story and get lost for an hour or so, that helps with your stress level.  Sometimes, especially this time of year, we do not have the time to devote to a full novel, so this is the perfect solution.  So, grab your copy, a cup of tea or glass of wine, a snack and enjoy some time with Holidays & Homicides.
