A bit dark for NOON, dontcha think?
In need of a little light in the dark and cold? (This pic was snapped when it was SEVEN DEGREES, which is just a bit MUCH for the wimpy Californians in the room.) Sick of rain, snow, sleet, or gloom of night? (Or, gloom of morning, as the case may be.) Then, you need the December Lights Project. The December Lights project was started by Northern authors living in Wales, Ireland and the great Northern reaches of the UK where it is dark and c-c-cold, and is a bundle of short stories, each one posted a day in December, each with a happy ending.
Happy, lighthearted short stories. That’s the December Light Project.
The stories are FREE (and no donation button even appears on the site), and are written by well-known and highly regarded young adult and children’s authors including Tiffany Trent, Sherwood Smith, Stephanie Burgis, Sarah Prineas, Leah Cypress, Patrick Samphire, Karen Healey, and many more.
Consider it a little Hanukkah, Solstice, Christmas, Kwaanza gift, and enjoy a little light reading.
great stories, thanks for the link!! I just “pressed” them onto my rather-not-reading-son with the remark to send the link to his English teacher. I think these are the kind of stories those 14-yr olds would like to read. (wishful thinking maybe?)
