My Book is Available at Everfree Northwest This Weekend! · 3:16pm Aug 10th, 2023
Hey guys! As a lot of you know, Everfree Northwest is happening this weekend, and the amazing RBDash47 is hosting a book vendor stall called Twilight's Book Nook at the convention. While I am not able to attend the convention by virtue of living on the exact opposite side of the country from Seattle, I was able to send a few copies to the Book Nook to sell. It's a new collection titled Winter Dreams, Summer Reminisces, which focuses on MLP tales set around winter and summer. A good number of the tales are stories I wrote for Jinglemas, so the seasonal theme was easy to come up with.

I also wanted to say that half of all of the profits made from this book will be going to the Foundation for Women's Cancer. As my mother was recently taken by uterine cancer and was quite supportive of my fandom activities, I felt that this collection should find a way to help other women with gynecological cancers in her memory.
As for the stories in the story collection, here is a list of all of them with their teasers and links to them on this website:
Pretty Laces for Good Little Fillies: Anon is happy with Twilight. Really. She loves the ornate castle, the lovely meals she eats, and, most of all, loves Twilight herself. It's so wonderful and beautiful in Equestria that Anon almost forgets she used to be human.
Almost.
The Show Must Go On: Octavia didn't want to be in Hilltop for Hearth's Warming Eve. The remote mountain town was just a stopover, a distraction from her true home back in Ponyville. She just needs to wait for the blizzard to die down and the next sled out of town to arrive.
Unfortunately for her, the townsfolk are looking for a good Hearth's Warming show. Even worse, there's another pony from out of town more than eager to satisfy their craving.
And she just so happens to need an assistant...
Proper Popcorn Popping Procedure: Twilight Sparkle knew going to Sunset Shimmer's house for Hearth's Warming would be more fun than the typical holiday festivities at her parents' house. She knew she and Sunset could party through the snowstorm blowing through town and not even be mildly inconvenienced. She knew that with everything that had happened since they'd met at the Friendship Games, she and Sunset's friendship would never falter.
She didn't know Sunset Shimmer cooked her popcorn on high.
Powdered Snow Falls Softly: One week before Hearth's Warming, Celestia appears in Pinkie's home. She wants her help to retrieve a gift for her sister Luna, and she knows Pinkie is just the mare to get it.
The only problem is that the gift happens to be a cursed cookie recipe locked away by an evil sorceress deep under a mountain.
- The Greatest Slugger of Them All: Scootaloo arrives home one day, breathless and asking Auntie Lofty to do a presentation for Family Appreciation Day. Unfortunately, Scootaloo only wants the one part of Lofty's life she's not that eager to share.
My Heart Won't Buy It: Below Canterlot, down where the forgotten ponies stare up at the mountainside laden with Hearth's Warming lights, a lone Changeling walks into a bar. He just wants a drink to lessen the pain building in his chest and warm the chill in his body.
The bartender has other ideas.
Please check out Winter Dreams, Summer Reminisces if you're going to be at Everfree Northwest, and be sure to look at all the other books the other wonderful authors of this fandom have at the Book Nook!
Anywhere to get them outside of Everfree? Im not going but still love to collect physical horse books.

I may make it publicly available to get on Lulu. I didn't do it for my last collection, but I may if folks raise enough of a stir about it. Talk to me next week and we'll see if we can arrange something for you.
