Funny Photos
Hi, I'm Pippa Jay, author of sci-fi and supernatural stories to engage your emotions. I am not, however, much of a teller of amusing tales. I can never recall funny stories or jokes, and frequently don't get the humour in others. I think I'm faulty.

Where Am I???? Finding direction
Hey Hey everyone! Welcome to 2020 and my first blog post.
I'm sort of on a theme this month on my blog and social media stuff - New Beginnings.
But before we discuss that let share my 'funny story' - the theme for this month here on Romancing the Genres.
Now these stories honestly happened... as they say, I couldn't make this stuff up.
First you need to know I never - ever get lost. I may

All in Good Fun?

Even a war didn’t

centuries: the Crossing the Line ceremony. Tradition held that as a ship
approached the equator, those who had made the crossing before, trusty “shellbacks,”

A Funny Thing Happened in the Middle of a Suspense Novel
By Robin Weaver
Happy New Year Everyone!
First, many thanks to Judith for asking me to be a guest
author this month. I was indeed
flattered she considered me a humor writer.
You see, I didn't plan to write humor.
I grew up reading Sherlock Holmes, Nancy Drew, and John
D.MacDonald. While, laughter is as important as air (for me, anyway), I wanted
to write hard-core, gritty mysteries

Passion = Project
Say the word passionate and it brings to mind a whole slew of terms: Fervent, Ardent, Zealous, Obsessive, Hot-blooded, Adoring, loving, and Enthusiastic-- Just to mention a few.
I have been passionate about a lot of different things in my life’s journey. In the 60’s and 70’s it was equal rights for people of color and for women in the work place. During college I was on my way to Alabama to

My Favorite YA Books in 2019 by Lynn Lovegreen
Note: This was previously posted at lynnlovegreen.com.
I’m an eclectic reader. Throughout 2019, I read several nonfiction books, some adult fiction, a few children books, and a lot of YA (young adult books). That was the category I enjoyed the most, so that’s what I’ll focus on for my best of 2019 list.

Kids and Animals Always Bring a Smile by Paty Jager
This month is "funny story" month. I've been trying to think of a funny story. Not that I don't laugh every day, either from something my hubby or grandkids say or the antics of the dogs, but coming up with a story... That's harder.
I'm trying to remember things my grandchildren have said. One granddaughter told my mother-in-law that she can come to her wedding...if she's still alive. ;)
