Marvellous May

Hi, I'm Pippa Jay, author of scifi and supernatural stories to engage your emotions. And welcome to marvellous magical May!


May has always been one of my favourite times of the year, significantly because of three things. The first of May marks Beltane, the pagan start of summer and usually the point where the British weather takes a marked change for the better...well, sometimes. This

8 of what????

Because it's our 8th anniversary we are celebrating with 8's...
I struggled with this.

Do I share the best 8 doughnuts? They all are.















My favorite 8 pastimes/hobbies? Ummm, I have a 7 year old I don't have pastimes or hobbies.




Eight authors I love to read? Just too many to try to list and it made my eye twitch trying to narrow down the list.


Or maybe 8 things that I refuse to

Andra's 8 Adventures

Congratulations to Romancing The Genres on their eighth anniversary!  A fabulous achievement.

Since we're celebrating 'eight', I thought I'd share eight adventures. The definition of an 'adventure' is an unusual, exciting or daring experience'. Not that my life is particularly exciting or noteworthy, but I've had some experiences that fit into one or more of those definitions.



1. A recent

Crazy About Dogs

by Madelle Morgan


If you've been reading my posts, you know I love dogs. 

I grew up with dogs, but as an adult I had cats. Notice I didn't say I owned cats. Cat lovers will understand why. 

Cats are easier to care for when you have a job. Cats are self-sufficient while their human is away for long days or even a weekend. No walking is needed, and cats don't gobble up the day's kibble the

So I thought I would put a different spin on this month’s
topic Crazy 8’s, and talk about some of the craziest things I’ve eaten while traveling.  Hence, Crazy Ates! Most of you who have been following me on this blog, know that I’m crazy about world
traveling; the more exotic the country the better. Nothing gets my adrenaline

Ghost Cat,

I first wrote this post in 2014 for this blog. It is our 8th Most popular post of all time, so I'm reprising the post for our 8th Blog-o-versary! I hope you enjoy it...

The Ghost Cat visited our house again last night.

We've lived with this possible pussycat for five years. Doors on cupboards full of nice soft towels and blankets--exactly the sorts of places a kitty might choose to curl up

Eight Crazy things, or are they?

by Diana McCollum

I decided to share eight 'crazy' things about myself you probably don't know. Things that might seem crazy to some people, but not to others.

During college I rode a baby-blue Honda 50. Now that is not a very big horse power, it can't go on the freeway.

1) My girlfriend, Peggy, and I decided to ride from Sunnyvale to San Francisco to check out a new coffeehouse. That is a

Crazy Eights: What I’ve Learned in the Last Eight Years by Lynn Lovegreen

Romancing the Genres is celebrating its eight-year anniversary this month. Thanks to Judith and Sarah for keeping it going and monitoring us Genre-istas, which probably feels like herding cats at times. ;-)



I was about to be published eight years ago. I recall the steep learning curve of contracts, editing, and other nuts and bolts of getting published. But my most vivid memory is seeing the
