A Favorite Pet. Is It Possible?
By Courtney PiercePets.At the mention of the word, our thoughts immediately summon images of goofy videos posted on social media. You

themselves in a mirror, or dogs and cats interacting hilariously with babies,
squirrels, and birds. These displays alleviate our tensions, a “paws” in the

Looking Behind to Look Ahead
by M. L. Buchman If you want to see my attempt to look waaaaay ahead this year on a very macro, publishing-level scale, check out my earlier post: The Wild Year! (peering into the crystal ball)But to look a little way ahead, on a little scale like my own goals, I like to look behind.

Christmas Decorating Traditions...by Kristin Wallace
Are your holiday decorations up yet? Are you one of those people who puts up a tree and lights right after Halloween? I don't know why, but just pulling everything out of the storage boxes is enough to warm your heart. Every piece evokes memories of your childhood or when your kids were little.

A Merry Christmas Cover Reveal #scifi #mystery

The Magic of Winter
It's no secret that I'm a summer girl. Beaches without frozen water, warm sand not ice sand, and waves not ice caves are my jam.

Stories have taken me away from all the stresses of the world this holiday
season. I did download way too many holiday books this year, so I’ve also listed
