Candy Hearts 2023: 5 new stories!

For several years I've written stories for the annual Chocolate Box exchange. The exchange moderators needed to skip this year, and instead a new Candy Hearts exchange took its place. The prompts were excellent, inspiring me to write five stories. In previous years I posted descriptions that included how the stories measured up in terms of diversity, and I'm continuing that tradition again this year.

Here we go, five new stories!

Sucker for Love

In this Writing Year of the Giraffe, Penna and I continue to be tempted by the low-hanging fruit of our various series. But we also hope to stretch our necks to grasp unfamiliar fare. The writing exchanges are a great way to explore different fandoms and themes that we wouldn't normally pick. My assignment in the recently concluded Candy Hearts Exchange is a case in point.

Valentine Treats

In Caffrey Conversation, Mozzie celebrates Valentine's Day by issuing a special blend of his honey wine. I like to issue stories instead. I posted my latest valentine today: Puzzle in Pink in the Ghostnet series. Love is in the air for the residents of Drexford. Or is it? Readers of the previous Ghostnet story, Grinch in the Night, know that a mysterious entity identified by their gaming avatar of Morgana le Fay has taken perverse delight in teasing Tess and her friends. Are magical forces at work once more?
