I’m tidying up the first book in my new series in preparation of sending it to the editor, and decided now was a good time to write the Author’s Note (while details are fresh in my mind). In writing it, I discovered the name of the delightful lady who will tempt the hero of book …

E-Readers are growing in popularity, but there is still a strong base of hearty and dedicated paperback readers out there. It is to them I dedicate this post. Until last month, the only way to order a paperback version of my books was through Amazon. That is no longer the case. My Dear One and …

I’ve been working from the cosy bright nook of my kitchen since August, when my youngest son’s friend moved in with us for a few months to complete a co-op work-term required as part of his University degree. The location change plants me directly in the hub of household activity. It’s not ideal. And I’m …

At the beginning of April, I wrote about the bittersweet nature of this month for me, and for my mother.
