The first issue of "Writer's Muse" Magazine! It is a compilation of the works of the Writer's Muse Page, an online writer's group started by Richard Cotton. *** The stories and poetry included in the first Writer's Muse Magazine issue, our Christmas 2012 issue, are participants in a contest on the page. The contest was to see who created the most beloved Christmas story, as determined by votes on the page. It was a hard decision to make, figuring out which story was the winner, with so many truly inspired submissions. Congratulations to Victoria Tomlinson, who won the contest with her heartwarming tale of the innocence of children and the true spirit of the season, "A Christmas Gift".
