Once upon a time, several Here Be Magic authors got together to write an anthology. Take one metaphorical heart-shaped box. Hand it to eleven authors as a story seed. What do you get?
A porcelain music box. Candy. Magical stones. Love. Fairies. Demons. Brushes with horror. And cats. Of course, there are cats.

February 14th is just another day...until it isn't.
They say timing is everything, and that certainly has always been the case where Alex and I are concerned. We were work spouses for a while, and then we weren’t. And when we reconnected with each other last month it was after a prolonged period of hurt feelings and miscommunication during which we barely spoke to each other at all.
Now, even though our friendship’s caught fire, so to speak, I feel like we’re both still recovering from that last, disconnected phase. Heaping a bunch of unrealistic expectations, or a need for chocolate hearts, plush toys, or rose colored anything on top of that seems like a little too much added pressure.
