It took 450 submissions, several months of editing, and more Timbits than is probably wise, but we did it! Presenting the newest anthology from Grace&amp;Victory:<em> A Quiet Afternoon 2<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center\" style=\"grid-template-columns:29% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/victoriafeistner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GV_AQA2_cover.jpg\" alt=\"The cover of A Quiet Afternoon 2\" class=\"wp-image-1633 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/victoriafeistner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GV_AQA2_cover.jpg 360w, https:\/\/victoriafeistner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GV_AQA2_cover-188x300.jpg 188w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Twenty-seven<\/em> all-new comfy, cosy, low-fi stories! Weather magic, heart magic, memory magic. Princesses that save themselves and Irish robots and Scottish giants. Wistful dinosaurs, protective squirrels, frisky kittens; knitting, broken hearts, shops filled with dreams. And the FOOD &#8211; Seafood fresh from the sea, Indian delights made by a mother&#8217;s loving hands, unmade cakes, and <em>magic pierogi<\/em>. There is a story for everyone.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s our broadest crop of authors yet, too, with writers from Canada to Australia, Ireland to Zimbabwe, America to India, and a variety of points in between. (One day, we will land a submission from Antarctica. One day.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year was the first time we tried pre-ordering, and I&#8217;m glad we did; it increased our sales dramatically. Enough that we were able to double the amount we had planned to donate. We&#8217;ve sent $200 to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society (http:\/\/www.irsss.ca\/) and $200 to the Yarrow Intergenerational Society for Justice (http:\/\/www.yarrowsociety.ca\/), in the hope that more people&#8217;s futures will hold quiet afternoons. I&#8217;ve never been more proud of a project, both from the quality it represents&#8211;the hard work and the talent&#8211;and the good it has enabled us to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have a lovely quiet afternoon, where ever you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Available now as ePub\/MOBI\/PDF from <a href=\"https:\/\/payhip.com\/b\/LqAfQ\">PayHip<\/a> for $9.99CAD.
