Happy New Year (in two days), Everyone! It's time for my yearly look back, and it's been a good one in many ways. I'm thankful to my family, friends and readers for continuing to support my book journey. April 1st saw the launch of When Last...

It is Christmas Eve eve and all the creatures are stirring -- even the mice. Winter Solstice happened a few days ago and we've turned the corner, adding a few more minutes of daylight each day.  This is a time of anticipation as kids wait...

Eight days until Christmas Eve, not to freak anybody out :-) My husband thought Christmas was this coming Monday, so imagine his relief ...

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...
