Last year, I had the opportunity to join a holiday boxed set. I had never written a holiday story, although I have written Christmas scenes in books, so I took it as a challenge. While my family and I were on the return trip home from Puerto Rico over Christmas last year, I outlined a story about a reindeer shifter, part of Santa’s sleigh team, and what happens when he falls from the sky on Christmas Eve.
Here are the mini blurbs about each story, including mine – Bitzen’s Fated Mate!

XOXO, RE
Thanks for all the blurbs, it helps to decide buy or not
I’m glad the blurbs helped! 🙂
For the price even if i only like 1 story its worth it. I absolutely loves the previous box set and more than 1 stoty in it. Great work!
I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the first boxed set! 🙂
I’m confused. Are these full stories, mini stories or continuations of prior stories?
Hi Misty! The books in the boxed set are all from different authors. Some of them may be new series or continuations of other series, I’m not sure. But for my story, Blitzen’s Fated Mate is the first of a new series about the reindeer shifters that drive Santa’s sleigh. I will be releasing more stories in the series next year. Sorry for the confusion!
Hi Misty! I’m sorry I’m so late in replying to your message! The books are short stories but all complete ones, if you read the blurbs and titles you should be able to tell if it’s a new story (like mine – Blitzen’s Fate Mate – is the first in a new series) or a continuation in an existing series. Best, RE
So the only story I’m interested in in the box set is yours. Do you plan on releasing a stand alone copy of it? And the same with your other upcoming box set, I just want to read your book.
Hi Jessica! I will be releasing my books in both series as standalones as soon as I’m able to, which will be early next year, possibly February/March. Thanks for stopping by! All the best, RE
Hi Jessica, sorry for the lateness of this reply! Yes, I will be releasing both books (Blitzen’s Fated Mate and Zane) as stand-alones in the coming year, and both books will have more stories added to them in the years to come. Thank you so much for the sweet compliments! All the best, RE
I just got done reading Blitzens fated Mate and loved it! You should seriously consider weitingf more books and expanding this world. They don’t all have to be Christmas time stories but the world of NPC is awesome. I would love to read more about it and some of the other characters including SC and Mrs. C Burt also how things change now that they know that they have Fred mates in the human world.
Hi Jacques! I’m so happy to hear that you’ve enjoyed the first book in the series! Yes, I definitely plan to write more stories for all the reindeer. I’ll be releasing more stories late next fall in time for the holidays! Thank you so much for stopping by! All the best, RE
