On Friday, Morning Rain Publishing (MRP) released five short stories - one of which was mine. Each story can be purchased separately via the MRP website, Amazon, Kobo, and Google Books. However, if you'd like a treat, and bit of a savings, all five can be purchased as a compilation exclusively from Morning Rain Publishing. When you hit the "buy now" button, eJunkie tells you the format of the book is a PDF, but if you email info@morningrain.ca, the nice people over there will send you the file format of your choice.
Here are the books that are included in the compilation:
Letters and Illusions by Jaclyn Aurore
For months, a mysterious letter has kept Candice and Jason apart. When Jason returns to the small town of Springbrook, Candice demands answers. “Letters and Illusions” is Jaclyn Aurore’s third publication. Her other works include the Starsville Saga: Starting Over, and Standing Up.
Under the Stars by Jennifer Bogart
Ryan might be running from his
past, but Willow is searching for her future. The two meet on rocky ground, and
work to find secure footing in the topsy-turvy world of love. “Under the Stars”

“Reflections”, and “Remember Newvember”.
Happy Enough by Anita Dolman
Caught in an eerie pattern of
history repeating itself, Jeff discovers that he and his wife have fallen into
the trap of complacency. “Happy Enough” is a story of love, acceptance,

awaited her, all because of a simple cup of coffee, unexpectedly paid for by a
devilish stranger. “Extra-Large Double-Double” is L.J. Iver’s first
publication. Her first novel “Currents” is awaiting publication and a
paranormal romance trilogy, entitled “Soul Seeds”, is her
current work in progress.

Imprisoned in the Ivernee Mines,
and sentenced to a life of despair for a crime she didn’t commit, Sarah-Leigh
is determined to escape. Both her body and spirit are broken and bruised, but
with the kindness of an enigmatic stranger, she starts to regain hope. Lisa Toohey has
dreamed of becoming an author since she first learned to read. Her inspiration

is Lisa’s first publication.
