The Holiday Short Story Collection is available once again for the 2009 holiday season. The collection is a set of nine heart-warming original short stories including four award winners by RL Williams of Jacksonville, Florida. The holiday themes capture the true spirit of the holiday season through nine different slices of life.

The book is dedicated to all lost and homeless animals, past and present.

The award winning lead story, Snowflake, follows a young girl named Becky as she goes to a pet store in search of a Christmas present for her sister. She spots a small disabled caged puppy in a back corner of the store. After spending a few moments with this sad and lonely pup, she knew she had to get it out of there. The store employees refused to sell it to her. "Oh, you don't want that one ... he's got a bad leg and can't walk. He wouldn't make a good pet," a saleslady tells Becky. She leaves the pet store discouraged but not defeated. Could she get the crippled pup out of there? If so, how? The story ends in an unexpected twist.

Three of the other stories, The Christmas Duck, War Takes a Holiday, and The Snowman Contest also include the plight of an animal in the plot.

The Holiday Short Story Collection is suitable for all ages. Read it alone or with friends. The stories are great for parents to read to their children. Each story is a wonderful way to create the warm holiday spirit the season is about.
