Ranger Station Haven, by S.A. Stovall

Ranger Station Haven, by S.A. Stovall is a short story/novella in the Dreamspinner Advent Calendar for 2016, and I thought it deserved a bit of a mention.  Sometimes you find those stories that are make you laugh a bit, and perhaps hope that the author actually does a follow-up.  I think watching Carter and Owen learn to be fathers to Edmund and Luke could be enjoyable, especially if the author were able to incorporate the other children into the adventure, especially Justin, who seems to have been in the foster system too long to be healthy.  Not every story in the collection made me hope for more, and I doubt the story I would enjoy watching, that of Owen and Carter learning to be parents, would be ideal for everyone, it is something that would be fun to watch play out.  There is no reason a Christmas story can't be played out into something a bit more detailed.  Two park rangers adopting brothers, what could go wrong?
