These are the fifty-three winning and honorable mention essays and stories of the Joyous Publishing Writing Contests of 2007. The authors come from six countries and range in age from pre-teen to past retirement. The settings are as diverse as their writers: a lonely home in New Zealand, a train in India, a motel in Virginia, a prison in Oklahoma, and lands known only to the imagination. The characters make these stories live: the clan that celebrates the life of their patriarch; the boy who is sucked into living paintings; the cat who battles with thunder; the man who wore the jacket with two right sleeves; the girl in need of a love potion. There is one exception to every known rule of effective writing: the hilarious history of Macedonia. You will enjoy it and the other stories as much as the contest judges did.

Barbara J. Olexer is a fourth-generation Oregonian. She has written more than twenty books and screenplays. Her first published book was The Enslavement of the American Indian, a nonfiction account of that little-known segment of American history. Her formative years were spent in small farming towns and a backwoods logging camp. It was while she lived in the logging camp that she went to Wheeler County High School in Fossil. Her life has been a tapestry of changes as she has lived and worked in small Oregon towns and some of the biggest cities, such as San Francisco, Hollywood, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. Her heart remains in rural Oregon. While her two grown sons and five grandchildren live in Oregon, Barbara lives in Columbia, Maryland, with her husband and pug dog, Chad.
