SMFS Member Pubication News: Gail Farrelly

I have two Christmas stories available.

The first, "It's a Dog's Life," is about a mysterious dog and a lonely woman. The story is at the Yonkers Tribune. http://www.yonkerstribune.com/2017/12/its-a-dogs-life-by-gail-farrelly

The second, "The Christmas Exception," is about a woman who discovers just before Christmas a major secret about herself. This 2011 story is published and sold by Untreed Reads, but Jay Hartman was nice enough to allow it as a free read at Kings River Life Magazine. Lorie Ham was nice enough to publish it. I'm grateful to both of them. http://kingsriverlife.com/12/19/the-christmas-exception/

Merry Christmas!
