Superb Gingerbread Cookies
**North Pole Holiday Cheer Task Force Training Video Series, episode 3 of 12** Welcome everyone to our second virtual holiday baking prep session! I’m so happy to be back with all of you again, virtually. I hear this is being sent out asynchronously…which means you’re not watching right now? Oh, goodness gracious, we have learned a lot about technology haven’t we? Who knew when we set this all up last Christmas that we’d be doing it all again this year?

Bard: Chapter 16
The baths were loud and boisterous, the voices of a dozen guards and sell-swords echoing off the tiled walls. The air was thick with steam and relief. It was nice to hear people sounding jovial again after the moans a cries of the last few days. There hadn’t been much joy in Everly either after the cold had set in. It took having liveliness back to realize it had been missing.

Trista all but collapsed against Laura’s side, and she was much heavier than she looked. Laura caught her around the waist and helped her stay upright, Liam went to her other side, taking some of the weight off.

Macarons (and murder). Top Story - December 2021.
Who doesn’t love a good whodunit? I, for one, simply adore them. It’s my absolute favorite genre! I’m practically enamored with Hercule Poirot and Ms. Marple!

It wasn’t a dragon. Dragons had a distinctness to their being that could not be denied. The creature that slammed down on top of Trista was fearsome to be sure, but it lacked the scent of dragonfear that would have accompanied even the smallest wyrmling.

They were a smaller party moving forward the next day. A good half of the volunteers had woken up with some degree of frostbite, right down to blackening toes and fingertips. After conferring with the captain, these stayed behind at the village with the supplies and all but one wagon and pair of horses. Liam, Laura, and all the rest were armored with everything they had that night protect them from the cold. The horses pulling their single wagon were draped with blankets, tarps, and anything else that could fit over the beasts to protect them from the winds.

5 Ways to Maintain Your NaNoWriMo Momentum
National Novel Writing Month is a fantastic opportunity to flex your writing muscles, try something new, and challenge yourself to achieve the absolute feat of drafting an entire novel in 30 days. This challenge can be fun and invigorating, but maintaining momentum for any challenge that lasts 30 days can be difficult.

“No way we’re letting some baby bard come along,” the guard captain declared when Trista approached the table. She’d put on her travelling dress, but the outer robe of her uniform was the warmest clothing she owned. Between that and the violin case slung across her back it had to be fairly clear what she was.

The Gust came from out of nowhere. Liam stood outside the warehouse door with Travis, huddled against the winds that were as bitter as they’d been for weeks, and listening to a Crier from the city council make a call for volunteers to go north and investigate the winds.

Holiday Snowball Cookies
Early this fall, my husband and I moved into our dream home! And then we discovered it was violently haunted. Now I know what you’re thinking. Yes, we checked for all the regular abnormalities—faulty electrics, mold, structural damage, gas leaks, the works. Every home inspector and specialist insisted that the house was in perfect condition—a bargain for what we paid!

“Gods, it’s cold!” Laura exclaimed, breathing into her hands and then shoving them into her pockets. She ducked her head down into her scarf and wished she’d had the good sense to get a hat when she’d had the chance—warm clothing was at a premium in the city the past few weeks. “Isn’t it supposed to be warm in the south?”
