times.
The actors, screenwriter and everyone involved deserve credit

Christmas In Spaaaaaace! #scifi #romance #holiday
Hi, I'm Pippa Jay, author of scifi and supernatural stories with a romantic soul. And this Christmas finally sees the official publication of my second holiday story ever! Honestly, I've really struggled with writing holiday themed stories, being as most of mine take place far removed in time and space from our present and our planet. The idea of Christmas in Space seemed to be particularly

What's in your oven?
Hey Hey everyone and welcome!
Can you believe that 2019 is almost done? How the heck did that happen???
As the year draws to an end I know may people spend time reflecting on the past 11 months or setting goals for the next 11 months. Me???? I bake.
As I shared last month I love Thanksgiving, it makes the perfect bridge into the baking season. Because if I'm honest everything I do for the

Christmas Movie Mix
While I don't get swept up in all the Christmas hype (no kids at home anymore and we're not particularly religious), I don't mind a good Christmas movie and the ones I like, I am happy to watch every year.
My favourites go right back to my childhood and now also include a 2019 new release (but you won't find Die Hard on my list - I'm definitely in the 'it's not a Christmas movie' camp).

My Favorite Christmas Movies by Kristin Wallace
We all have favorite traditions during the holidays. Perhaps one of yours is watching classic Christmas movies. A few years ago, I did a series on my blog called "25 Days of Christmas Movies". Thought I'd share some of the top examples here.
1. It's a Wonderful Life
This is the Granddaddy of all Christmas movies. Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed, an angel named Clarence and the age-old question. “

What's New in Publishing for 2020? by Maggie Lynch
The biggest
story in publishing is the shift of ebooks to indie authors while maintaining
an emphasis on print books for traditional publishers. In each of the last two
years the sales of ebooks in traditional publishing has gone down while print
books have remained steady. Traditional publishers are also publishing
significantly less genre fiction, again ceding that to indie authors.

A Simple Christmas
By Diana McCollum
Christmas season is upon us everywhere we go. Christmas music plays in the stores and on the radio. Houses are decorated inside and out. I love the colored lights and the music and everything about Christmas. The best part of course, is sharing Christmas with family and friends.
I enjoyed a Christmas pot luck lunch with a few writer friends in Bend last week. Kathy had her

The Gingerbread Village by Lynn Lovegreen
Gingerbread houses are a common holiday tradition in many Northern countries. We have our fair share here in Alaska. But the best-known example is the Captain Cook Christmas Gingerbread Village.
In Anchorage, the Captain Cook Hotel displays an annual gingerbread village during the holidays. Chef Joe Hickel makes it from scratch every year, and it is an amazing thing to see. The buildings are

The SAD truth about Christmas time
Hi everyone!
I am Young Adult and Middle Grade author Barbara Binns, writer of contemporary and realistic fiction for adolescents and teens. As my tagline says, I write Stories of Real Boys Growing Into Real Men - and the people who love them.
Seasonal affective Disorder (SAD) has probably been around since the beginning of humanity but it was not described until 1984 by Dr. Norman
