Mary Ann Tippett writes uplifting fiction from her home in Canada's capitol city.

She writes most of her novels in 3 days, a process she explains in her best selling guide, "Write A Novel In 3 Days: The Zone Method."

Her novella, "Pairs With Pinot," is an award-finalist romantic comedy about an app that guarantees a soulmate match, and a pair of wine lovers who fall under its cross hairs.

When she is not reading, she walks, writes and yearns for chocolate with peanut butter.

It silences my inner critic when I commit to give the story a life by the end of 3 days.(less)

The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax

The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax (Mrs. Pollifax, #1) The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax by Dorothy Gilman

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Delightful!

A friend told me about the Pollifax books a while a go, and I’m not sure why I decided to download an ebook. Am I glad I did! Such adventure, such suspense…it was not easy to put down! I even learned a thing or two about places in the world that had never hit my radar.

I loved this author's "Single All the Way" so much that I snapped up this also-Christmas-themed book to read a year later. Unfortunately, it is not working for me. People say it's funny but I don't think I've laughed once. The bickering "couple" stop ...more

“Stephen King said, 'Stories are found things, like fossils in the ground.' The Zone takes you to the archaeological site of your story and digs up the details one after another. To ride the Zone wave, you expect the story to pour out of you and have faith in the process.”

Mary Ann Tippett, Write a Novel in 3 Days: The Zone Method

“We only get one life, and it’s better to spend it smiling than frowning. Not that that’s always easy. I know that as well as the next person. But I’d rather smile at what I’ve had and lost than be sad that it’s gone. Youth, health, husbands. All of them slip away eventually. We can’t stop that. I’m getting old, no matter what fancy face creams I use to try and delay it. And we can’t stop those we love leaving us too soon. But what we can do is make sure that we make the most of what we still have.”
Izzy Bromley, The Coach Trip
