PREORDER: Together We Stand (A Collection of Short Stories by Canadian Authors)

It is with great honor and pleasure that I announce that I will have a short story published in an upcoming charity anthology called TOGETHER WE STAND. It’s an anthology featuring Canadian authors and authors with Canadian roots. The theme for it is about essential workers, like grocery store workers, health care professionals, police, and others on the front lines. It covers a lot of genres, from romances (sweet and spicy) to general fiction and more, and the authors live across our vast nation. Nova Scotia is represented by two of us, myself and first time author K. Logan.

My contribution is called COVID’s Arrow, and it’s about two grocery store cashiers near the end of the pandemic.

COVID’s Arrow

By V.J. Allison

Tagline: When two people are in love, social distancing cannot prevent them from being together.

Vicki has been half in love with her friend and co-worker, Mason, since she started working at a grocery store eight months ago. When a pandemic reaches the province, social distancing protocols are installed, and their friendship is put on hold. A break at work brings them back together, but will they have the time Vicki hopes to pursue her hidden desires?

It’s a sweet romance short story I wrote on Monday afternoon – June 1^st. I am NOT joking! It took me about three hours to write, and thanks to some help from one of my oldest friends, Sarah, and three of my fellow eXtasy Books authors, it’s up to snuff.

Seriously, preorder this book. It’s going to be a one of a kind collection. The talent in it just oozes off the page. Get a copy and you'll help us raise much needed funds for a Canadian non-profit organization.

I’d like to thank Julie Lafranced for organizing this amazing anthology, and my dear friend K. Logan for recruiting me to write a story for it. I’m so thrilled to be included in this talented group of Canadian authors! I hope we raise a ton of money for charity.

Don’t forget, the cover reveal is on JUNE 24^th, 2020! BE THERE!

Have a fantastic weekend!
