Plots in the Pantry
by Mimi Barbour

"Plots in the Pantry" is a collaborative effort of Vancouver Island writers whose genres are wide-ranging, from science fiction to cookbooks. What they do have in common, however, is a love of writing, the beautiful part of the world they live in, and a love of Christmas.

What follows are eight Christmas stories, and eight Christmas recipes that refer somehow to food mentioned in the accompanying story. The stories take us from Nanaimo to El Salvador, the wilderness to the big city, 1926 to 2025, and feature characters from young to old, providing truly family reading.

"Plots in the Pantry" can be found both as an ebook and a paperback on Amazon (www.amazon.com), the "Writing in Progress" website (www.wipqb.com) as well as at each of the participating authors' websites. There is contact info for each author at the back of the book.

Thanks for reading and we hope you enjoy our work!

Mimi Barbour's Bio

NYT & USA Today, best-selling, award-winning author, Mimi Barbour, lives on the beautiful east coast of Vancouver Island and writes her romances with tongue-in-cheek and a mad glint in her eye. Asked why she prefers paranormal or suspenseful romance, she answers, chuckling... "Because it's fun! Imagination can be a lot more interesting than what happens in real life to so-called normal people. I love my characters, and my goal is to make the readers love them also. To care about what happens to them while the tale unfolds. If I can steal my booklover's attention away from their everyday grind, absorb them in a fantasy world, and make them care about the ending, then I've done my job. "Thinking back, writing my first romantic suspense novel switched the hard work into fun, and I've not looked back. I love writing about men and women finding each other and falling in love. Along the way, it pleases me to fill their travels with gritty conflicts -- spiced up with lots of humor and seasoned with a few tears, but always with endings that are happy."
