It was a writing-kind of week. The end of the first draft is in sight for this manuscript as I managed about 6000 words this week. It always seems that I speed up toward the end once I sort out where the plot is heading....
Good Saturday morning. It was another busy week on the writing front. First up, I confirmed a book launch for Who Lies in Wait at the Ottawa Curling Club on Thursday, May 22 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. The manager, Dalal, offered to host and bar...
I've been busy this week. First of all, I found a Canadian printer in Burlington - a huge thank you to Peggy Blair for the recommendation - and I'm weaning myself off Amazon for books on demand. I'm using them to print my next book and...

And January is well underway. I've been working daily on my two manuscripts, completing another edit of Who Lies in Wait before getting back to writing the 8th Stonechild book, which I've already titled Dead Ends. I had to complete an outline and come up with a...
And that's a wrap for 2024 and time for a brief recap of the writing year that was. I started off January with visits to a couple of book clubs, one in a home and the other in Alta Vista Library, with a few more book...
