Foreword
Celebrations help us to mark moments in time that are meaningful, some for religious reasons, others cultural and historical. From time to time, I’ve written about holidays, from many points of view, in this world, in another; in the past, present, and future. What they have in common is that we choose to come together for these festive events to discover joy and mystery.
Four of these stories I wrote to perform aloud for the audience at the Twilight Tales reading series in Chicago. Four were commissioned for anthologies, and the rest are original stories for this volume. They are all collected here for the first time. I hope you’ll enjoy them.
Happy holidays!
