Touching Base

These day’s I find it incredibly difficult to keep in touch with everyone and everything I’m supposed to be doing.

Chicken and the Egg Syndrome

I’m sure you’re all aware of the age old question: Which came first? The chicken or the egg? Since high school I’ve had a logical and scientific answer for this and couldn’t understand why the question was even asked. My outlook: The egg came first.

Live Interview on Blog-Talk-Radio

Last night I had a wonderful opportunity to speak about Time’s Tempest, read an excerpt and talk shop with Tom and Robin, hosts of The Writers Lounge on Blog-Talk-Radio. As I’ve never done a “live” interview before, I’d gotten myself all worked up for this one with stomach butterflies and all but everything went smoothly…Continue reading “Live Interview on Blog-Talk-Radio”

Read Local Caledon – Library Collection

Last night was a lot of fun as my book Time’s Tempest was included in the launch of a new collection at my local library. Called “Read Local Caledon” the collection is made up of writers who live within or just outside of the town of Caledon’s boarders. We get a special spine label andContinue reading “Read Local Caledon – Library Collection”
