title: A bit of Christmas: 6 Christian Short Stories Celebrating the Season
author:  Angela K. Couch 
description: Angela K. Couch is an award-winning author for her short stories, and a semi-finalist in ACFWs 2015 Genesis Contest. Her childhood was spent listening to her father read chapters from his novels, and Angela decided young to follow his path. A passionate believer in Christ, faith permeates her stories. Her martial arts training, experience with horses, and appreciation for good romance sneak in there, as well. Angela lives in Alberta, Canada, with her hero and three munchkins.
