The countdown is on with this brand-new collection of original New Year’s Eve–themed short stories!

The last night of the year is often associated with champagne and music, resolutions, and, for many, finding that perfect person to kiss at the stroke of midnight.

And while the nine stories in this collection certainly don’t lack the music and the dancing, the kissing and the goal setting, the characters in Another Chance to Get It Right: A New Year’s Eve Anthology experience a wide range of emotions as they find themselves closing out one year and looking to the next.

As you reflect on your achievements from this past year and decide whether you’ll be making resolutions for the upcoming one, spend some time with these featured stories:

• “All Year with Anthony” by Katie Fitzgerald

• “Righting My World” by Shirley Hay

• “Fia” by Sharon Thatcher

• “Dancing Queen” by Jessica Daniliuk

• “I’ll Be Home for New Year’s?” by Krista Renee

• “What One Would Do for a Rose” by H. Buckley

• “New Year’s Baby” by Anna Picari

• “Seeking Sanctuary” by Desi Stowe

• “Polka Dots” by Mitchell S. Elrick

Whether they’re welcoming the birth of a child, grieving an unexpected loss, contemplating a career move, or simply looking forward to counting down to midnight with their best friend and the girl they have a massive crush on, these characters all find themselves in similar positions as the clock runs out on the year: a decision looms that will set the tone for the next one—and possibly many more to come.
