Seasons of Summerland

Sat, 20 Mar 2021 09:45:10 +0200

Seasons of Summerland is a collection of twelve short stories, one for every month of the year. Beginning with January, the darkest and coldest time of year, the reader will travel through each month in turn.

Some of the selected works are light; full of the wonder of Christmas as a child, or a first kiss.
Others are dark and gritty with the finality of death, or the heartbreak of a true love lost.

But in every ending, there is a new beginning. Just like with a year itself, the darkness will inevitably melt away with the arrival of the light of spring and the warmth of summertime.

May the magic of the stories within these pages transport you to a land where it is always summer.
