About Us

Hot Apple Cider and A Second Cup of Hot Apple Cider are collections of true stories, fiction, and poetry, which were created with you in mind. Togetgher, these exceptional books offer dozens of honest stories written from the heart. They’ll remind you that God is at work in your life, that good will come out of the struggles you face, and that every person matters.

There’s nothing better on a chilly evening than a mug of hot apple cider. We curl up in a chair with a good book, stir the steaming beverage with a cinnamon stick, and sip nature's sweetness. It has the magical ability to make us feel warm all over, as though everything’s okay.

There's no way to create apple cider except to bruise and crush the fruit. Our writers have the scars to prove they’ve experienced some of life’s hard issues and grinding problems. They've been knocked to the ground by stormy winds… and learned that only experiences like these can create the character, insights and deepening of faith that produce rich, tangy writing. Drink deeply from the life-giving words in this book.

We’ve also sprinkled in some lighthearted pieces filled with whimsy and humour. Our writers draw from their spirited imaginations and their observations about life to offer enjoyable fictional tales or insightful poems that you'll want to linger over.
