In honor of Valentine’s Day, please enjoy this gift of a romantic short story set in the location of my upcoming novel. The fictional little town of Dickens Station, Vermont, is a tiny tourist village offering a Victorian Christmas experience to its visitors. Though it is the off-season for Dickens Station, the wonderfully quirky cast of characters who live there still celebrate Valentine’s Day and have their share of romantic angst. “My Best Friend’s Valentine” is short enough to read in one sitting. I hope you enjoy it. Happy belated Valentine’s Day.
