Banished from the South Pole, Kara tries to carve out a new life among the elves of the North. It’s not easy with a secret to protect—a secret she's cursed with by the unusual circumstances of her heritage: half-elf, half-fairy. In the North, she’s assigned to work with Seb on a special project. He's the most gorgeous elf she’s ever seen - and the orneriest.
As if being banished wasn’t punishment enough.
Seb introduces her to Trystin, a fairy from the nearby fairy forest. Trystin discerns her secret right away and promises to teach her how to use the powers given to her by the very thing she’s fighting to keep hidden.

Christmas Fantasies
Dancing in Our Heads
by Cindy C Bennett
The official line from the famous ’Twas the Night Before Christmas might have more to do with sugar
plums than fantasies, but what other time of year is such a great time to
indulge in fantasy? As children we fantasize all year long about that magical
night when our good behavior is going to pay off in a visit from the Jolly Old
Elf. As adults we fantasize more about the spirit of the season. The joy that
comes from giving and charity are more abundant at Christmastime than any
other.
Christmas has been my favorite holiday as long as I can
remember. There’s just a different feeling in the air, a heightened excitement,
and even beneath the frustrated and harried shoppers there beats a kinder, more
generous heart in most people (Scrooges excepted, though even Scrooge has a
change of heart eventually). I love all the baking, decorating, and
shopping—trying to choose a gift for others that will be both meaningful and
useful.
When Sherry Gammon approached me with the idea to do a
Christmas trilogy of fantasy novellas revolving around a Christmas theme, I
jumped at the chance. Write a story revolving around my favorite holiday? Yes,
please. Soon Stephanie Fowers came aboard and we had the correct number of
authors for a trilogy. I knew right away I wanted to write a story about an
elf—not a traditional, garden-gnome looking elf, but a Legolas-type elf. Then
Sherry informed us her story would be about a witch. A Christmas witch? Of
course, being the talented author she is, she wrote a charming story about a
witch that also just happens to be set around Christmas. Then Stephanie
surprised us with her Christmas story—about Greek gods. And a fantastically
entertaining story it is.
A Christmas Fantasy isn’t
about fantasies we might have at Christmastime, but rather stories of fantasy
to please different readers with a chance to indulge in a fantasy of their
own—whether at Christmas or any other time of the year. We sincerely hope you
enjoy the stories as much as we enjoyed writing them.
