Chasing Christmas Past: An Airship Racing Chronicles Short Story (Prequel) by Melanie Karsak

Lily and her crew are hanging out at Rose Hopper's, the local bar.  It's a big race day tomorrow but tonight she's just feeling lonely.  It's been a long time since she's seen her love, she's pretty sure she'll win the race, her crew is in a good mood and still she feels all alone in the crowd.

The author and instaFeebies allowed me to read this story for review (thank you).  It has been published and you can get a copy now.

This is a short story to entice you to read the series.  It's written well, the idea of air ships is magical to me, and I'm like Lily.  I like to win.  This series should be good fun to read.

When poor Lily wakes up it's to find that it's morning and almost time for the ships to take off.  She and her crew tear out of the tavern and run to the race only to be the last ones to take off.  That doesn't make the odds good for winning.  However, Lily has another route in mind and tries that.  After all, the worst they could is lose...

Here is an easy way to see if this series is for you.  Give it a try, it's written well.
