Sleighed: A Christmas Tale #ShortStory by Award-Winning @WendyJayneScott #NewRelease #Free

 Hello, beautiful readers! Christmas may be over, but a cute Christmas story is enjoyable at any time of the year. Please join me in welcoming award-winning author Wendy Scott as she shares with you her newest short story, Sleighed! It is free from January 18-22 on Amazon. 


Thanks, Yvette. In March 2019, my sister (who lives in Canada), visited me in New Zealand, and we embarked on a memory tour. We revisited places from our childhood, including Queenstown, where our grandmother used to live.




Our great-grandfather had been an engineer on the iconic century-old coal fired steamship, the TSS Earnslaw, back in the day when it transported stock and supplies across Lake Wakatipu. We enjoyed a delightful sunny cruise to Walter Peak High Country Farm.

During our travels, we set a challenge, to each write a 1500 word story. I chose to write a Children’s Christmas story, based on a writing prompt from my Aspiring Author Series, and that’s how, ‘Sleighed’, came to be created.



I have already read this story and can tell you that it's wonderful! Wendy takes a different take on the world of the North Pole, and I loved it. I hope you will pick up your copy of Sleighed this week, especially since it is FREE from January 18-22!

And while you're add it, get to know Wendy Scott a little better!
