Three Wishes for Yuletide – A FREE Holiday Story!
Every year for the Holidays, I write and give away a new story. It’s my gift to all my readers that enjoy my work.
This year’s story was particularly challenging. An idea popped into my head, but I ended up writing way more than what ended up in the story. Mayhap there’s a novel there, but for now I want you to enjoy Three Wishes for Yuletide.
I wanted to do something different this year and the idea that came to me was to do a Pagan retelling of A Christmas Carol. I’m thrilled with how it turned out.
Here’s a bit about the story:
Athena has been running for a long time.
A powerful witch, she is able to control the wind at her whim or conjure a fire from her fingertips. What she really wants is to have her parents back. After losing her mother during Yuletide, she has very little love of the holiday. She is used to moving from town to town, avoiding the title of Queen that is her due and the growing power within her.
Everything is about to change when Athena sees the spirit of her father who tells her that she will soon be visited by three spirits who will show her the true meaning of Yuletide. Yule is going to look a little different this year.
All Athena needs is to believe in herself and that the power of magic will light her way.

I loved telling Athena’s story and I hope you enjoy it. May her tale bring you a little light during this holiday season.
Wishing you all a little joy and magic for Yule!
Counting – A Poem
I
used to
count everything. It
gave me control, brought
me a kind of peace
in a world where I had
no control at all. The numbers would
spill over into everything. I began to count
fruit, clothes, shoes, pennies, words, books, vegetables, rings, freckles
until my mind was always filled with numbers mixed into
the words I would write and the paint I
would wield, all in an effort to breathe.
Little did I know that the numbers
would take over and try to
control me. I chose to
stop counting everything and
yet, I have
counted every
word.
Two New Releases!
I’ve had the honour of having two of my stories included in two different anthologies! I mean, how awesome is that? The best part? You can get both!
The first anthology with one of my stories is Mighty: An Anthology of Disabled Superheroes. includes my short story Captain Maven and the Ice Queen. Mighty is available now!
Here’s a bit about the book:
With great powerchair comes great responsibility…
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s… accessibility!
You wouldn’t like me when I’m out of spoons…
All too often, superhero media depicts disability as something to overcome on the journey to becoming a hero, or as a sign of villainy. It’s time to make heroism accessible for everyone.
In these 15 stories, you’ll meet winged wheelchair users, supernatural spoonies, guardians with glaucoma, and many more. These disabled superheroes fight villains as well as outdated ableist stereotypes and show that anyone can be Mighty.
You can get the ebook here: https://renaissance-107765.square.site/product/ebook-mighty-an-anthology-of-disabled-superheroes/249?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=4
You can get the paperback here: https://www.amazon.ca/Mighty-Anthology-Superheroes-Emily-Gillespie/dp/1990086535/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2Q2DE6UCGW6S5&keywords=mighty+anthology&qid=1700428426&sprefix=Mighty+An+anthol%2Caps%2C1100&sr=8-1
The paperback is also available at any fine bookstore near you!
The second anthology with one of my stories is There’s No Place: Tales of Home by Storytellers Who Have Experienced Homelessness. It features my short story titled A Chosen Story. It’s available on November 21st, 2023. Here’s a bit about the book:
What is home? Is it a place, a person, a memory, a sensation?
These stories, written by storytellers who have experienced homelessness, take you around the block, around the world, and out into the wider universe. But in the end, they always bring you back home.
From adventurous to everyday, from absurd to heartfelt, these tales are a mosaic of home as uncertainty, as longing, and as hope.
You can preorder the ebook here: https://renaissance-107765.square.site/product/ebook-there-s-no-place/239?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=4
You can preorder the paperback here: https://www.amazon.ca/Theres-Place-Storytellers-Experienced-Homelessness/dp/1990086527/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2ZS25U85KP67V&keywords=There%27s+no+place+anthology&qid=1700428835&s=books&sprefix=there%27s+no+place+anthology%2Cstripbooks%2C106&sr=1-1

I’m so thrilled to have my stories included amongst the words of so many other incredible authors. I can’t wait for you all to read these stories. They reflect piece of me and I’m so proud of them.
Happy Reading!
The Sounds of Sleep – A Poem
As he falls
asleep, his breathing
is like radio
static. When I
close my eyes
to let slumber
claim me, I
can hear snippets
of song, the
cadence of people’s
voices, and the
soft salient sound
of snow in
his breathing as
the dial keeps
turning. When slumber
finally comes to
take me, it
is to the
rhythm of his
breathing with the
beat of my
own heart.
