Gift Wrapped by O. Yardley
From Christmas 1992, this is one of what I believe were O.Yardley's traditional Christmas offerings. The earliest Christmas story date given at the Circuit Archive is 1990, but she's been writing Pros since the early 1980s at least, and she's still writing in 2011. So here's to a true Pros-y treasure - O. Yardley...

So here's to a true Pros-y treasure - O. Yardley...

30 years and I think her daughter writes as well? Not only a treasure, almost a dynasty!

A good rec, thanks.

Her daughter does write Pros too - good point! I wonder if her daughter might one day have a daughter who... *g*

That would be a record, surely? And I bet no other fandom could boast that one! Well, maybe Star Trek but none of these other here today, gone tomorrow thingies...

It'd have to be, surely... although there are other mother-daughter teams in Pros, but... there couldn't be a granddaughter old enough - could there?

I am glad! I especially like O.Yardley's "early work", and I do think more people should read it! *g*

A lovely rec, thank you for the reminder, and for the salute to O Yardley's longevity in Pros!

You're welcome! It's fun finding less-often-read stories to rec! *g* It tends to be the same ones over and over, but there are many other gems out there...
