Through snow, storms and fire, love is strong and protects.  These three stories tell tales of lasting love, old love, family love and new love through it all.

Victor J. Banis, Patric Michael and P.A. Brown bring us three tales of love that endures and protects.  LORIN’S BACK by Victor J. Banis has a self-centered ghost that shows his past love that old friends can burn fire bright as lovers.  Family love and a new love conquer the glowing hell during a storm in A LIGHT OF DIFFERENT MOON by Patric Michael.  And P.A. Brown’s ghost shines his love through the snow to protect and guide a new love to his partner left behind in ANGEL LIGHT.  Through snow, storms and fire, love is strong and protects.
