Welcome to Boxing Day in July!

Yes, this was supposed to be a mini issue about Christmas in July, but yesterday, when the issue was scheduled to debut, I was still dealing with boring site issues I won’t bother you with. 

So it’s a Boxing Day issue! If you are unfamiliar with this tradition, find info HERE.

These four flash fiction stories bring heartache and hope, wish fulfillment, a classic fairy tale spin, and what I personally think is a take on climate change, but you can decide on that. 

So, without further ado, here are the four tales:

The Miraculous Kingdom of Silver and Gold, By Kelly Jarvis

A Not-Quite-Fruitless Christmas Tale, By Linda McMullen

A Solstice Slumber, By Ellie A. Goss 

A Christmas Wish, By Maxine Churchman
