The Long Journey of Imagination
By Courtney Pierce
On this wondrous Christmas Eve, like all Christmas Eves of my life, I reflect on where I am today and how I got here. A writer’s journey is a long
one. In my case, stories burned from a very young age. I didn’t do anything
about them, though, until I was over fifty. No one could show me how to be a
writer; I could only be taught the craft of construction to make my stories

Happy #WinterSolstice!
Hi, I'm Pippa Jay, author of scifi and supernatural stories to engage your emotions. Are you all excited from Christmas? I may be celebrating something a little earlier...
Aside from Christmas itself, the winter solstice is my favourite day at this time of year. Why on Earth would the darkest day of the year and the first day of true winter be anyone's favourite?!
Well, not only do most of

Bright light in the dark night....
As I've mention before I live in cold Northern Michigan. Not only is it cold...it's gloomy. November had less than 9% sun! BOOO!
Because of the lack of sun, the short days, and the cold, Christmas lights have become my favorite part of the holiday. You are never too young or too old to enjoy Christmas lights. AND they can be enjoyed while eating a doughnut or hot chocolate cookies (the recipe is

A Letter To Santa
Hi Santa - I know you have to decide whether I've been naughty or nice this year, and that what you do or don't leave under my tree will depend on how you see my behaviour. Specifically my writing behaviour. So I thought I'd lay it all out here so you can see my side of the story (pun totally intended) - and maybe I can influence you over the 'nice' side (and there'll also be a bottle of

Silent Night and a Cheese Ball
Oh, how I love the Holidays! Starting off with Thanksgiving, and this year 21 people for dinner, and ending with the magical Christmas holiday.
For the past five years I’ve made the “Pinecone Cheese Ball” for an appetizer at either Thanksgiving or Christmas. The first year my 12 year old grandson wanted to

Film Noir by Lynn Lovegreen
This may seem like an odd topic for me, so I’ll explain. My parents instilled in me a love of classic movies, including film noir. I grew up watching Humphrey Bogart in The Maltese Falcon and Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard. It’s not too surprising film noir would eventually work its way into my writing.
My manuscripts about World War II in Alaska weren’t attracting agents and editors.
