A SPECIAL PRESENT began life as a Lit Christmas Contest entry a few years ago. Now twice as long with much more sex and benefitting from some very helpful critiques at the Story Discussion Circle, it's been e-published.
The good folks at Eternal Press http://www.eternalpress.com.au/ saw fit to release, A SPECIAL PRESENT, as a stand-alone stocking stuffer. It's a somewhat unconventional straight love story with a seasonal twist that asks the type of question many couples face during a time of war.
Becky may never see Matt again after he goes back to war. Once she's given herself to him, what else can she give?
Here's a "Suitable of General Audiences" type excerpt:
Our shop-a-thon had cost me more than just maxed out credit cards. My back ached, my feet throbbed, and the rest of me felt tired, bloated, and crappy. To be fair, all that started long before I hit the mall. Being eight months pregnant can do that to a girl.
Make that an unmarried, pregnant girl. Of course, I’m no girl either, although it does seem like I stopped growing a lot sooner than the owner’s manual told my parent’s to expect. In her infinite wisdom, Mother Nature decided five-foot nothing was more than enough for Becky Miller to handle. So there’s not a whole lot of me to pack around a baby who keeps getting bigger by the hour and seems anxious to climb out and look around.
It’s not like I didn’t know better. This baby will be my second. My first, Kylie, is two going on twenty-five and can’t wait to play with her baby brother. Knowing better and doing what’s smart isn’t the same thing. At least it isn’t for me, not after falling in love with someone I may never see again.
A SPECIAL PRESENT is available as an e-publication in download form for $1.50 (cheap at twice the price). For more information or to download the complete story: http://www.eternalpress.com.au/
