December is the time of year when we appreciate the feelings of good will toward our fellow human beings. A mix of western, modern and scifi, this collection brings together short stories that explore human kindness and charity. The last story in the collection is a teaser from my upcoming series, Gulliver Station. In The Welcome: After the death from illness of his parents, Ian Washington is now responsible for his three sisters. Can he make it to the nearest settlement before the winter cold kills them all? In Gulliver Station Christmas: The building of Gulliver Station is behind schedule, the various teams at each other's throats. Will a Yule Celebration get Fergus Boylan, the project manager, back on schedule? Read these and three other short stories for a warm look at how the season can change hearts.
