Since I'm tired of promoting my books and have no sales going on until next month, I thought I'd share our Roses of Prose holiday short story plans for this year. Every December, the majority of our authors post Christmas short stories for the entire month. And to make it a little more fun, we all begin our stories with the same first line. Of course choosing a line is all part of the excitement. Everyone threw out ideas and voted, narrowing the field to the top three choices then voted again to get a winner. This year the top three contenders were:
"You asked for a Christmas Miracle?"
This was the absolute last time she kissed anyone under the mistletoe.
She'd rather deck him than deck his halls.
I thought they were all great lines. But, the winning line was...drum roll...
This was the absolute last time she kissed anyone under the mistletoe.
I hope everyone will visit us in December to read our short stories. Is your interest sparked by our mistletoe kisses line?
We also need a title for our collection, which will be incorporated into the cover we use to promote our stories. We want our title to tie to our first line. For example, last year our first line was about a ringing phone, and our collection title was Ringing in the Holidays. So, think kisses or mistletoe... All suggestions are welcome.
