Local author Glynis Belec’s story Old Ladies’ Perfume is included in the new anthology Hot Apple Cider with Cinnamon, which is being released just in time for Christmas.
Belec is one of 61 writers from across Canada who survived a rigorous competition to be included in this Canadian anthology, fourth in a series of books designed to offer encouragement and inspiration.
“In a world that seems consumed with busyness, the heartfelt stories in Hot Apple Cider with Cinnamon invite readers to a quiet place and remind them how simple acts of love can make a lifetime of difference,” states a press release from the publisher.
“Belec’s story reflects on her relationship with her fun-loving mother and upon a particular statement she thoughtlessly blurted out one Christmas to her mother that ended up making quite an impact – even to the next generation.”
In the book’s foreword, Ontario author and speaker Sheila Wray Gregoire says, “Real love is seeing your neighbour, your family, and your friends with new eyes.
“It’s deciding to laugh, to love, to live in the knowledge that pain in the world is inevitable, but love is a choice … The stories in this book will help you choose love. Every time.”
Hot Apple Cider with Cinnamon is available locally at Blooming Dale’s, Studio Factor or on Belec’s website bookstore www.glynisbelec.com.
