5. Mabel Hartley The Crusader’s Hoard is off to be printed. Kachow! 4. My shelves are empty. Time to reorder books. Always a good sign for a self-published author. 3. My son turns 11 years old tomorrow. I’ve been a mother for 11 years and even if I say so myself, I’m doing a “stand-up […]
It was a funny kind of day. I made a cake and tried to ice it for my son’s 11th birthday and put the icing on too early and well you can imagine. Icing dripping like a heat wave but we’ve got the candles on now for my son’s 11th birthday tomorrow and it looks […]
It glows. That’s what my daughter said. And there’s light coming out of it. I was so happy to share the very first proof copy of my third story in paperback with my children, and now with you. Now to proofread and order the first 50 copies. I really am quite delighted.
It was a great family vacation in Washington State this past week, topped off by a local bookstore in Port Angeles, WA taking my stories. Mabel is in the US in paperback now! We visited Forks, WA as well, which is the home of Bella and Edward from the Twilight series and what a thrill […]
Mabel Hartley the Mummy’s Cape arrived in paperback this week and she’s already her way with stops at the local library and four local stores on my island.

I have a lovely friend in Toronto who recommended I contact her favorite bookstore in Toronto, Another Story Books. I sent an email to the owner and felt excited to begin the next stage of my push to get my books into independent bookstores across the country. This feels really exciting for me, especially because […]
Well things moved along a little quicker than I expected this week, when a trip to the orthodontist for my son turned into three stops at independent book stores and a visit to a magazine and a newspaper to see about publicity for my books 5. Shortest orthodontist appointment in history gave time to explore […]
5. My books are into bookstores and gift stores. First on Gabriola, next on Vancouver Island and the Mainland, then the WORLD. 4. I ran 7.4 km today in 55 minutes and it almost killed me in the heat, but I did it. Starting a run at 3pm after lunch is never a good idea. […]
What a day to be out and about in my best dress with my books, asking bookstores and gift stores if they will stock my books. I never thought I’d be able to do it, but today, 10 of my books are out in the world for people to find. And then when the next […]
