Dreamspinner Press’ 2017 Advent Calendar, Stocking Stuffers
Sometimes it’s the little things that mean the most….
The holidays are a time when bigger often means better, and meals are huge, decorations are over-the-top, and elaborate gifts and grand gestures are one way to show affection. But beneath all the pomp and ceremony, after the grandiose presents have been unwrapped, the stocking stuffers are still waiting to add that final sparkle to the perfect celebration. Even the tiniest trinkets can be gems when they’re chosen with love, and like a good love story, they are held close to the heart and treasured for years to come. The festivities don’t have to end after the feasts and gift exchanges. Dig a little deeper for romantic stocking stuffers both naughty and nice.
Enjoy a tale of men in love with men every day throughout December.

About Hope Is the Thing with Feathers
Fifty-six-year-old Samuel Phillips is all alone on his small farm in the Ozarks, with nothing but a menagerie of chickens, pheasants, turkeys, and other birds as company—which is just the way he likes it. In fact, if Samuel had his way, he’d tear down his neighbor’s house so his solitude could be absolute. One day Faloola, his favorite turkey, escapes, forcing Samuel to make the trek next door. When Raymond Webber—sixty-seven—answers the door as naked as the day he was born, Samuel doesn’t know whether he’s more annoyed… or attracted. The two men are opposites in every way—Samuel is serious, while Raymond believes in free love and herbal relaxation. The weeks leading up to Christmas are rocky to say the least, but some holiday spirit might help them get past their differences….

REVIEW:
A delightfully quirky tale, Hope Is the Thing with Feathers by Brandon Witt surprised me with its frank and honest approach to an unusual situation.
Raymond and Samuel are both older gay men who are in a lonely and isolating environment, both set in their ways - which do not easily mix!
Witt pens a deeply felt narrative which pulls at the heartstrings and explores a passionate and insightful side of his characters.
A must for liberal animal-lovers and anyone wanting a heartwarming tale for the holidays, Hope Is the Thing with Feathers by Brandon Witt feels intimate and touching with a good dose of humour thrown in.
