I
am honoured to be featuring When Stars Will Shine. This is not
any ordinary post, it is a post about many authors who have come together to
create this wonderful collection of short stories to help raise money for Help
for Heroes so every copy sold will go to this wonderful charity.
With true war tales
that will break your heart, gritty Christmas crimes that will shake you to your
core, and heart-warming tales of love lost and found, this anthology has
something for everyone. And, with every
penny made being sent to support our troops, you can rest assured that you’re
helping our heroes, one page at a time.
From authors such as
Louise Jensen, Graham Smith, Malcolm Hollingdrake, Lucy Cameron, Val Portelli,
and Alex Kane, you are in for one heck of a ride!
When
Stars Will Shine is the perfect gift
for the bookworms in your life!
A Note from Emma
Mitchell:
As
the blurb tells us, When Stars Will Shine is a multi-genre collection of
Christmas-themed short stories compiled to raise money for our armed forces and
every penny made from the sales of both the digital and paperback copies will
be donated to the charity.
Working
closely with Kate Noble at Noble Owl Proofreading and Amanda Ni Odhrain from
Let’s Get Booked, I’ve been able to pick the best of the submissions to bring
you a thrilling book which is perfect for dipping into at lunchtime or
snuggling up with on a cold winter’s night. I have been completely blown away
by the support we’ve received from the writing and blogging community,
especially the authors who submitted stories and Shell Baker from Baker’s Not
So Secret Blog, who has organised the cover reveal and blog tour.
There
isn’t a person in the country who hasn’t benefited from the sacrifices our
troops, past and present, have made for us and they all deserve our thanks.
It
has been an honour working on these stories, and I hope you enjoy reading them
as much as I have.
