As I said back in October, my short story, Tell Me You Love Me is going to be included in the forthcoming anthology, Doctor Who Short Trips: The Ghosts of Christmas.
The Big Finish page for the book now includes an image, as well as a free PDF of one story from the collection — […]
It may be a tough question to answer, but I love Neil Gaiman’s attempt:
