The Christmas Pic

Winner of the 2024 Lesfic Bard Award for Best New Author

Is love finally coming into focus?

Ava Garcia-Greene, a Fortune 5 CEO, has it all–power, prestige, and a swanky office in Silicon Beach. But beneath her icy exterior lies a heart yearning for something money can't buy.

Jo Fisher, a GLAAD-card-carrying, carabiner-clipping, out-and-proud lesbian, is barely keeping her late father’s photo truck afloat in the queer haven of Harmony Springs, Michigan, where her love life is more Silent Night than Joy to the World.

When Ava’s AI Christmas card generator incites controversy, Jo’s heated call into a radio show leads Ava’s board to an ultimatum: save Jo’s business by Christmas or lose her corporate crown.

As they team up, Ava unexpectedly falls for Jo’s disarming sincerity, while Jo is cautiously intrigued by the pull she feels toward the supposedly straight Ava. With their careers on the line and Christmas around the corner, can their spark ignite a holiday miracle?
