"If you need a fictional world to escape into, pick this one!"

Desperate for her mother’s approval, Luna volunteers to host her family's annual Icicle Inn-Cursion this year, despite the potential issue of meddlesome books and creatures that live in her enchanted library.

With the arrival of her family, Luna’s struggle to keep her library’s magic a secret is further complicated by the curiosity of her young niece, Tiffany, and nephew, Lucus, who set out to entertain themselves after being cooped up in their room all day following a disastrous breakfast that ended in family drama.

Will Luna’s need for her mother’s approval endanger Tiffany and Lucas? And what happens when you put a family who has secrets and years of pent-up resentment under one roof and call it a vacation?

Dive into Once Upon a Storm to find out and to witness the mischief that can be caused by books who have personalities of their own.

This story first appeared in the As the Snow Drifts: A Cozy Winter Anthology, released in November 2024 by And You Press, an imprint of Nicole Frail Books.
