Are you a writer or a storyteller? Since I write two different genres, this question came up into my mind. There does seem to be a difference. When I'm writing a mystery, I feel like a writer. I have to know the beginning and the end. I have to know 'who done it' right at... Continue Reading →
The Illusive Review
Once again I'm ranting my frustrations out to the world. The forever thorn in my flesh - my illusive book reviews! This would not be such a concern except for the fact that I would really love to hear how readers are reacting to my work. It isn't that I expect every person to love... Continue Reading →
What She Writes and Why She Writes…
Meet Rebekah Lee Jenkins! The quote goes something like this “Here’s to strong women. May we know them, may we be them, may we raise them.” I would like to add… may we write about them to inspire this generation. The Night They Came For Til, is a book about strong women who follow...

My Conflicts of Interest
It has been quite some time since I sat down and tapped out a blog. I would like to list my reasons for not doing so sooner, but sadly, I have none. Unless you count laziness and lack of imagination as reasons. In my case, they seem to be. Spring is here. At least, it... Continue Reading →

And instead of saying, 'where are you?' for some reason, 'Where're you at?' pops out of my mouth. I... Continue Reading →
Reading it over…for the first time!
Good morning, everyone. First of all, let's talk about the weather. No, seriously... we are having a heatwave in central Canada! I keep advertising my books and telling readers they should stalk up for the fall/winter weather reading. I don't think anyone is even reading my posts, they are all outside walking around in shorts.... Continue Reading →
Goodbye, Mabel and Sharon Rose
Most times it is quite sad saying goodbye. Especially if it is to someone or something we're going to miss. Some of us like to say, 'see you later.' Of course, if we are planning to see them the next day or week, that makes sense. If it is someone we do not expect to... Continue Reading →
BOOKS of the month!
Hi Everyone! Well, autumn is here in full force. There's a bit of a nip to the air in the morning - unless you live closer to the equator, that is. Where I live, it is COLD in the mornings now. Most of the leaves are starting to turn color except for those that started... Continue Reading →
