This year, a group of indie authors have come together to write a family-friendly series of Christmas stories and poems – the Sparkly Badgers’ Christmas Anthology. This festive anthology will be sold to raise money for the Avon Riding Centre for the Disabled, which provides the therapeutic benefits of horse riding to people with disabilities.
This family-friendly book of Christmas stories is available for pre-order on Kindle right now and will be released in eBook and print on November 16.
