Juniper is stood up and finds herself alone on Christmas while her friends are on vacation. But she takes a leap of faith when an envelope slips through her attic door, inviting her to a Christmas ball. However, everything she’s tried to avoid awaits her on the other side. She has a new chance at love, but only if she can navigate her ex, first.  

This novella is perfect for Christians who love a romantic tale with a magical element. It contains Christian themes, has plenty of tension (instead of spice), and can be described as a portal fantasy.

The Juniper Ball has recently received feedback from beta readers and is undergoing another round of edits. This story will re-open for further feedback in November 2024. If you’re interested in becoming a beta reader for this novella, please leave a comment at the end of this post. Thank you!
