Good morning! Today from noon to 2:00 p.m., I'll be at Coles Billing Bridge with fellow author Barbara Fradkin as part of a Crime Writers of Canada event. This is my last event of 2023, so stop by and say hi if you're in the mall. Happy...

And we awake in a snow globe this morning! Yesterday, I was in the yard raking up pine cones and leaves, and today, we'll be shovelling the driveway. Life in Canada never gets boring. It was a writing kind of week. I spent more time in...

It's a crispy day out there. I've had my buddy Trooper all week so out walking early this morning before he heads home. Looking after/owning a dog gets one outdoors in all kinds of weather. Two engagements this past week. The signing last Saturday at Coles...

Good morning! Today, I'll be at Coles in the Carlingwood mall from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. Come by and say hi and perhaps get a signed copy of one of my books for yourself or as a Christmas gift. We're about six weeks away,...

Can it really be the end of October already? I'm not ready for November, a month I usually have to work to stay positive during - grey skies, chilly temps and snow being the norm. I'm not sure what to expect this year after this...

Another stellar week here in the Ottawa Valley. The leaves are only now reaching their peak, a late start this year thanks to our changing climate. This is such a beautiful season. My big news this week was interviewing Kathy Reichs at the Ottawa International Writers...

Some fun events coming up this week, but first, let me tell you about the fun last week! Oddly enough, we have the same anniversary date as our friends across the street, so this year, the four of us planned a road trip to celebrate. We...

Thanksgiving weekend always feels like one of hope as we gather around the dinner table with family and friends and share a meal made from autumn bounty. For our family, we've rarely had a Thanksgiving supper with our entire family since both girls curled competitively...
