Some of you might recognize the above photo from my book contract announcement last month. It’s become one of my favourite shots — I’m still thinking of framing it, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. In the next few weeks, though, I’ll be creating a new writing space for myself, so that might beContinue reading “Just Like Starting Over”

Light
These days, it’s still quite dark when I leave the house in the morning. I hate it. I hate the weird time that can’t decide what it is. Dusk or dawn? Day? Night? Who knows! (My body and brain certainly don’t.) Despite the wildfires in August, I miss summer. I always miss it, but theContinue reading “Light”
Where There’s Gold, There’s a Rainbow
There are good things coming, but I’m also in a lull. (Yes, both things can be true at the same time.) I was hoping to be able to share some very special news this month. Unfortunately, it has to wait for now. Fingers crossed for December! I’m about halfway through writing my third novel butContinue reading “Where There’s Gold, There’s a Rainbow”
Keep Swimming
An abbreviated August update because, as I’m sure you know and as I’ve experienced in the past couple of weeks, plans can be disrupted with little notice. I’ll explain. But first, summer. Paddling On the water, yes, but this time also in Paddler Press. There’s so much talent in Issue 9: Grace Notes, and I’mContinue reading “Keep Swimming”
Same Book, New Look!
BOOK NEWS!! I have a super exciting announcement about Provenance Unknown! 🤩 If you’ve already bought a copy, then congratulations! You now have a limited edition, because my publisher is releasing the book with a brand new cover. I’m really excited about it (if you can’t tell). I hope you love it as much asContinue reading “Same Book, New Look!”
June Bugs
It’s the first title that came to mind, and I’m going with it. But now, because I’m endlessly curious, I have to look up June bugs. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen one before. Do we have them on south Vancouver Island? (I checked, and apparently we do. A type of striped beetle. StillContinue reading “June Bugs”
Transitions
There’s life before you’re a published author, and life afterwards. I was worried that once the excitement of the Provenance Unknown launch had died down, I wouldn’t know what to do with myself. It’s partially true. With my second book, A Year of Summer, still with my test readers, I suddenly have time on myContinue reading “Transitions”
Departures and Arrivals
What better place to celebrate the launch of my debut novel than a much-needed, relaxing vacation to somewhere tropical. Now that I’m back, I can forget about all the stress and anxiety (MAJOR anxiety—did I mention anxiety?) leading up to it and focus on the wonderful memories I made. Plus, I can celebrate that whileContinue reading “Departures and Arrivals”
Le printemps arrive. (Spring is coming)
Let’s get right to it. There’s been a lot happening on the writing/publishing front for me over the past month. Spring is coming, and the year’s picking up speed. Here’s the recap: Book Launch Celebration Event Yes, that’s an unnecessarily long and awkward title. But while at first I thought you could only have oneContinue reading “Le printemps arrive. (Spring is coming)”
