Seasonal Stories #scifi #paranormal #romance

Hi, I'm Pippa Jay, author of scifi and supernatural stories to engage your emotions. Tomorrow is the spring equinox, and I'm so happy about that. January and February are such gloomy months, and all the more so with yet another lock-down in the UK since Christmas. At least now the days are getting longer and warmer, and I can spend time in the garden soaking up the emerging rays and work on new

Let's Talk About Friends

 Hello Everyone!  How's everyone? We're hanging out... Making journals...Getting ready for an April release...And working on some material for a local writer's workshop. It's on secondary characters  - one of my favorite topics.Why? You ask…Because they 'complete' us. Much like Charlie and Milo.There are some who believe the main character(s) is only asgood as those surrounding him/her. 

My City Of All Seasons

 There's a saying about my home town of Melbourne - if you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes. And that's one of things I love about it. For me, the idea of living somewhere that has the same weather day in, day out, would be boring. We've just clicked over from Summer into Autumn/Fall

Celebrating the Seasons … by Delsora Lowe

I had an oil delivery today and with it came the Farmer’s Almanac Country Calendar. With majestic and inspiring seasonal photos and snippets of stories from farmer’s almanacs that spanned several centuries, the perusal through the pages representing each month gave me thought to the visuals of storytelling. Seasons tell a story. They are also a part of every story you read, whether used as a

Finally a New Project...by Kristin Wallace

Last year became something of an unintentional hiatus from writing...at least the fiction writing side of my life. Some ongoing health problems made it nearly impossible to focus the way I needed in order to create stories. Plus, I'm sure the ongoing COVID crisis made things even more difficult. BUT...a writer friend convinced me to be part of a holiday box Holiday Fake-Out. As the title suggests

Seasons by Lynn Lovegreen

 Most people notice the seasons where they live. Even warm equatorial regions might have a wet season and dry season. But where I live in Southcentral Alaska, seasons are a big deal. It’s temperate here, not like the Arctic north, but we still have a big difference between our warm and cold seasons. Right now, we’re at the end of winter, almost at break up (so-called because the ice breaks up and

Unlawful Orders - To Market, To Market

 A year ago this month, my then agent divorced me. As if the opening surge of Covid sweeping the nation wasn't enough, she decided that was a good time to let me know that in spite of her earlier enthusiasm about my work, she was just not that interested in what I was writing anymore.First, you need to know that I had changed agents in 2018. At the time it seemed the right thing to do. The

It Might as Well be Spring by Eleri Grace

As we round the corner on another spring, having cycled now fully through all the seasons under pandemic conditions, I'm reminded of the hopeful 1945 song "It Might as Well be Spring." The hit song from the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical film "State Fair" really didn't have much to do with the impending end of WWII -- in fact the war was over by the time it was recorded and released as a single in
