There's a little bit of 'me' in every story - but I do include a very sneaky little element in each story - that revolves around my real name (Mackie is my pen name) - so those who know me may pick up on this little reference.(less)

" Thank you! "
Barrington Magic by Susan Mackie
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This story reframes Christmas as something deeper than tradition. It becomes a lens for belief, forgiveness, and the quiet courage it takes to return to what once hurt you. That is a rare emotional angle for a holiday novel.

Topics Mentioning This Author

“What's the worth of sadness in front of happiness?
Like a leaf that's blown away by the wind.
What's the worth of despair in front of hope?
Like a dirty stone that's thrown in a clean pond.
What's the worth of chaos in front of peace?
Like a flying kite that's string has been cut down.
What's the worth of disunion in front of the union?
Like a fish that's breathing but not in water.”
Hareem Ch, Hankering for Tranquility

Lea Davey
“Where have the years gone, Ruby Rose? Sometimes I have to stop and think about how old I am. When I wake up in the morning, before I move this tired old body or look in the blasted mirror, I swear I'm still a young man. It just feels like yesterday. I don't know how it's gone so fast.”
Lea Davey, Silkworm Secrets
