In 2012 I began a holiday tradition of writing holiday codas for some of my — and your — favorite stories. I ran the codas on my blog and left them up there for readers to enjoy all year round.At the request of readers, I collected the codas in an expanded and edited edition which I published in 2015 as Merry Christmas, Darling.Since then I've written an additional twenty-one codas, so it seems about time to do another collection.
