A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2012 Advent Calendar collection Evergreen. John and Anthony always have a hard time carving out some alone time for the holidays. John’s services in search and rescue are in high demand because his dog has a fine nose and a good track record for finding lost souls. What his fellow volunteers don’t realize is Sir Barksalot is actually Anthony—fully transformed—and that man and werewolf are juggling demanding jobs and lost hikers while trying to have their romantic Christmas together.

Jana Denardo's career choices and wanderlust take her all over the United States and beyond. Much of her travels make their way into her stories. Fantasy, science fiction, and mystery have been her favorite genres since she started reading, and they often flavor her works. In her secret identity, she works with the science of life and gives college students nightmares. When she’s not chained to her computer writing, she functions as stray cat magnet. She’s also learning that the road to enlightenment is filled with boulders she keeps falling over and that the words gardening and Zen don’t go together no matter what anyone says.
