One of the things I want to do next year is to create a few FREE shorts to share. They're going to feature my previous couples and side characters (possibly). Since they're very short, they aren't going to be as complex or arc'd out as my novels, but more like a glimpse of how everyone's doing (babies, jobs, or trips, anniversaries, etc.).

Here are the couples / characters that could potentially star in one of those super shorts.
