Feeling Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! Our characters have enjoyed Thanksgiving in many of our series, including Caffrey Conversation, Arkham Files, and Crossed Lines. Today I added a new story to the list: A Drexford Thanksgiving. This is the second story in the Ghostnet series—a world where witches, vampires, and werewolves live harmoniously with humans by hiding in plain sight. This story like the first one in the series is a one-chapter short take. New traditions blend with old as a young witch adjusts to her life in Drexford, and it wouldn't be Ghostnet without a generous dose of magic.

Thanksgiving in Our Stories:

• Caffrey Conversation: Neal has a double Thanksgiving celebration in Caffrey Conversation in 2004 in The Queen's Jewels (Chapters 14-15). In 2005, he and Sara spend a secret Thanksgiving in Lyon, France in Cloister of Secrets (Chapter 4). In 2006, Thanksgiving occurs during their honeymoon in Set in Amber (Chapter 8).
  
  
• Arkham Files: Neal and his friends celebrate Thanksgiving in Lyon in 1975 in Lion's Lair (Chapter 7). It provides the inspiration for New York Neal and Sara's 2005 Thanksgiving.
  
  
• Crossed Lines: Dean and Sam Winchester's Thanksgiving in 2006 is the first proper Thanksgiving they've ever celebrated, and Crowley is there to share it with them. The holiday is featured in The Family Business (Chapter 1).
  

Thanksgiving is a time when we pause to give thanks. Penna and I are very thankful to you for including our stories in your reading!
