Comfort and Joy, by Charley Descoteaux
How much love does it take to heal the wounds of hate?
Sam and Charlie have been together over a decade, and their commitment to each other has only grown stronger through the years. But love isn’t always easy, and eighteen months after a violent assault, their fairy-tale relationship is still struggling. Charlie can’t shake the lingering fear of attracting more violence by displaying affection, and he’s angry at himself for not getting past it. Sam would do anything to help Charlie feel better—if only he knew what that was.
The century-old farmhouse in Northwest Oregon is the perfect place to spend the holidays with Sam’s family, but it was their refuge after the attack, and it still holds painful memories of those difficult first months. Christmas should be a joyful time, but even being surrounded by people who love him isn’t enough to make Charlie feel safe. He could try to keep to himself, but even if Sam agreed to give him the space he needs, Sam’s warm and loving family might not. And even though they agreed not to exchange gifts, Sam has a surprise up his sleeve that he hopes will make everything merry and bright. But he may end up more surprised than Charlie before the week is out…
Comfort and Joy will be released on December 14, by Etopia Press, but you can meet Sam and Charlie a little sooner. Leave a comment with your e-mail address to receive a free short story, and be in the drawing for two $10 gift cards!
I hope you enjoyed my entry in the Christmas Wishes Blog Hop. Click the happy little frog and hop on to the next blog!
The Grand Prizes will be given away via Rafflecopter on the BTS web site:
Happy Holidays!

I’m glad you stopped by, Kimberly! Thanks for leaving a comment. I hope you like the short story!
(Oops! :))
Since I can’t figure out how to delete this comment I’ll post a little excerpt of Coping Mechanism to tempt the next few visitors to leave a comment and find out what happens next!
Charlie had dinner on the table before Sam made it home from his late class. Sam’s contributions to the conversation were mostly mono-syllabic but that only strengthened Charlie’s resolve–his evening plans would be more than fun, they were necessary. The night before, Sam had given him a foot massage that deserved to have a national holiday dedicated in its honor and he planned to top that, in just about every sense of the word.
Such fun finding new authors. Great hopping with you!
