#FantasyIndiesDecember Day 10:

I really love The Wexford Carol. I once heard a slow, deep rendition of it played on the cello, and it's stuck with me ever since. I wish I could find that arrangement again.

Wait! I can only pick one?! 😆 Ha ha, I'll probably go for eggnog. My mom and sister prefer it mellowed down with 7-Up, but my dad, brother, and I like it rich and creamy.

Do you write more than one WIP at a time?

I used to focus only on one, but I recently learned how nice it is to alternate between two.

I know most people either love or hate this movie, but it's one of my holiday favorites. My family would watch it every Christmas Eve, then we kids would hurry off to bed so Santa could come. 🎅🎄🎁
