Select your hugest, fuzziest slippers (preferably cartoon-based), your giant cup of cocoa, we're talking soup bowl sized with a handle on the side, and get a fire going, anywhere. Even if you don't have a fireplace.
It's cozy time!
If you don't want to listen, you can find the book in paperback and on kindle (affiliate links)

Apparently I never finished listening to this, but while I'm here I've got some belated inside baseball for Conor. The way indie authors generally "hit" the USA Today Bestseller list is that they will put a book or short story in a collection that has a TON of authors in it. There's usually a very high buy-in rate to get into one of these things. The organizer supposedly will use the money from the buy-in to purchase ads, though I'm sure they also pocket a lot of it since there are people who seem to make a career out of organizing these list-hitting sets. The collection will usually be priced really cheap (can't be free in order to chart, but I think $0.99 can) and the day the collection comes out everyone who's in the set blasts the crap out of their newsletter list and social media to get as many people to buy it as possible, the selling point being that you're getting like 30 books for $0.99. In theory, the title will sell enough copies to hit the USA Today ebook bestseller list, and whammo, everyone in the set is now a USA Today bestseller. The number of people who reach that on their own with a book that is only theirs is much, much lower.
