title: Giving Thanks
author: Draper, Kaye
description: It's Thanksgiving, and Oisin is determined to remind Gesa how much they have to be grateful for, with a little help from their handsome fox shifter...and the rest of the pride.  The short stories in this series are not written in chronological order. This story takes place after the events in Perfect Pride, but before the events in Date Night. This short story is just over 8,000 words. Author's Note:I was tired of reading the same old thing over and over again in reverse harem. Sick of all alpha male and fainting female all the time—and desperate to be able to tell the male characters apart—I tried to infuse some variety into my story. Gesa might not be your cup of tea, and that's okay—she doesn't care. Her lovers are as varied in physicality and personality as they are in supernatural race. And the characters all have their own definition of sexuality. I know reverse harem is all about the fantasy, and my fantasy is a bit outside the norm. You've been warned. Story length definitions:Flash fiction: 200-2,000 wordsShort story: 1,500-7,500 wordsNovelette: 7,500-15,000 wordsNovella: 15,000-40,000 wordsNovel: 50,000 words and up.*Gesa's Menagerie books are novellas of between 30,000-40,000 words.
