Disturbances by Bill Hunt.

Disturbances by Bill Hunt.

There is no holiday quite like Christmas. It is almost everyone’s favorite time of year. The snow, the presents, the lights, the food, the fun, the family – it is all so wonderful! Don’t you wish it would never end? Be careful what you wish for. Chaos and confusion erupt when not one, but two, careless wishes disrupt the lives of our favorite miniature dragons and their human Guardians. The evil Dr. David Simpson may be safely behind bars, but all is far from well, in Disturbances: the third book in the Garson series by author Bill Hunt. Ho-ho-hold on!…

Christmas Origins!

Christmas Origins!

So, it is almost Christmas again, and time for the mad panic that it always causes as we rush around for cards and presents. That means it’s also time for my first Christmas blog, all about the origins of the special day. The word ‘Christmas’ comes from the Old English term ‘Cristes Mæsse’, meaning the ‘Mass of Christ’. The story of Christmas, as we all know, begins with the birth of a baby in Bethlehem. Many believe that Christ was born on the 25th, although the exact month is unknown. December could well have been chosen so the Catholic Church…

420 High School This has been an exciting five years. CCP just published my nineteenth book for which I am exceedingly excited. But this story is about my comic book series which I call 420 High School. Now some may take offense at the title and the content but the comics are just that, meant for fun. After all, have any of you seen a super hero female who didn’t have bosoms the size of flotation devices. So have fun and enjoy the read, heck you might even enjoy it and ask for more. Doobie and ASBeaver are fighting for…

The Sled tells the Christmas story of how our heroine, Naomi, struggles to save Santa from the frozen icicles hurled by the Frost King to freeze everything Christmas.  Together with Duchess the Sled Dog, a friendly Bighorn and a snow leopard, Naomi and her cobbled-together junkyard sled trek to the North Pole, tracking the Frost King as he freezes reindeer, elves and even Santa’s own red sleigh.

Father Christmas and Christmas gifts.

Father Christmas and Christmas gifts.

The giving of gifts at Christmas probably originated with St Nicholas, who actually lived in the 4th century AD and was the Patron Saint of children and travellers by sea; known by his red cape, flowing white beard, and bishop’s mitre. He was a kind and generous man who gave gifts of money and assistance in times of need.             The giving of gifts used to be carried out on 6th December in memory of the Saint, for on his feast day people gained the habit of being particularly nice to children and placing small gifts in their shoes to…

Holly, Ivy and Mistletoe

Holly, Ivy and Mistletoe

The Holly and the Ivy are as much a part of a traditional Christmas as are Christmas trees and presents. Both are very hardy plants, and an old belief was that if they could survive harsh winters, so could the households that displayed them. The holly was sacred to the Roman god, Saturn, and the Romans gave each other holly wreaths to deck their homes. Ivy was the plant most associated with the Roman God, Bacchus, who wore a crown of it to symbolize his immortality. Bacchus, the God of wine and frivolity, and his followers believed their crowns of…
