A Fantasy Christmas

What do Witches, Elves, and Greek Gods (Oh My) have in common? They are part of the romantic Christmas anthology, A Fantasy Christmas, written by moi, Cindy C Bennett, along with two amazing authors: Stephanie Fowers and Sherry Gammon. I have to admit, this was a really fun book to do. Not only did I have a great time writing about my elves (think Legolas, not garden gnome) but I had a great time reading Sherry and Stephanie's stories. They're all fantasy, but they're also completely different stories! I can't wait to hear what people think of them.

We're kicking off the blog tour tomorrow until the 22nd, and on Tuesday the 12th we're having a Facebook Launch Party where you'll have lots of chances to win some great prizes. Each of the three of us will be hosting for one of the hours, so be sure to stop by anytime and enter to win, or even just to say hi. You can find that event here.

Halfling by Cindy C Bennett

(Author of Geek Girl, Heart on a Chain, Enchanted Fairytales, Rapunzel Untangled, and more)

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.

Nothing is simple for Aphrodite’s daughter, especially love.

Scorned by society in regency England, Affry longs for romance. Upon encountering a dashing nobleman at her aunty's Christmas' ball, Affry gets caught in a lovely intrigue with disastrous results. Worse, she wins the interest of the gods.

Nine years later Jack and Marigold meet again. They join forces to weed out the shady Abbott boys. The unscrupulous brothers are illegally selling moonshine near her home on Sugar Maple Ridge.
