This is me on a recent happy escape with my honey. We visited a spectacular waterfall and had a romantic walk through the forest. November really is my favorite month of fall. Warm coats, holding hands and hot chocolate. I especially love baking cookies for Christmas and going out for dinner where Christmas decorations abound. […]
Just posted some photos from the exhibit we chanced upon in New York City earlier this year. Let’s just say it was this writer’s form of heaven and I loved every second of it. Nothing like a little Marc Chagall happenstance to give me some perspective.
It’s been almost a year since my first trip to New York City and to celebrate our anniversary we will be on our way back in the New Year. What do I love about this grand city? Everything. The lights, the museums, the hip factor, the fact that you are visiting one of the coolest […]

Welcome to my island paradise. Just a glimpse for you of our calm November waters. This is the West Coast of Canada!
I don’t know what it is. Maybe the season, running on wet fallen leaves, pumping your arms to go faster, hearing people calling your name in the stands, getting a ribbon.

Go check out some of my selections of books and see what I have to say about them. This is a website to bring YA fiction fans together from across the globe, which is one of the things I’m most passionate about. Kids reading is just about the best thing that ever was.
I spent some time today researching what it might be like to live in the caves around Petra in Jordan. I love the idea of Mabel, Tabby and Hugh exploring these caves and making new friends with a Bedouin boy their age. Researching is going so well, I may be able to start writing the […]
My mum is awesome and this weekend she took us to see Flashdance the musical in Vancouver. When the film came out in 1983, I was 10 and in grade 5. I remember that we rented the movie for my birthday party sleepover and I loved every second of it. At the time I didn’t think […]
This Saturday wraps up my fall class schedule for French classes and I have to say, it’s been a tough 8 weeks learning all about prepositions and the verbs that take certain prepositions and not others. We have “y” and “en” and direct prepositions like “la,les” and indirect prepositions like “lui and leur.” I’ve been […]
