My life has been somewhat upside down this past year with Sam’s illness and passing and this past few weeks, my father’s passing. To say that I am somewhat rocked to my foundations is putting it mildly. However, I have found solace in writing the Genetrix series and immersing myself in another world. My father’s death caused …

My time in Edmonton was well-spent, and I returned home ahead of schedule on the Genetrix series. Besides writing a major chunk of Book 2: Brethren, I had some time to conceive the premise and look for the series covers and actually put pen to paper and drew them. Over a number of glasses of …

In my last post, I lamented my inability to upload a drawing of Lady Charlotte of Lachlaich, the Genetrix of my new series. I don’t scroll to the bottom of my home page that often; it runs a side show of the Posts. Imagine my shock to see the picture there and not in the …

My sojourn to the lovely city of Edmonton was filled full and much was accomplished. It was delightful to spend time with my sister and her family. Each city has its own flavour …

A week flies by in the blink of an eye.and I wonder where it went. Then I remember: getting my life into a semblance of order, flying to Grande Prairie, Alberta to judge some very nice dogs and reconnect with some very nice people, and a visit with my sister and her family .Sometimes, being …

Confession time. I prefer to be a panster. There, I’ve said it, despite the gasps. Oh the heresy. Hear me out. For this latest book, Genetrix: The Amity, I did what the ‘experts’ claim to be the ‘proper’ way to write. Besides my normal research, I wrote an outline, divided it into quarters for the …

This weekend, I published Malice & Murder and I cannot force the smile from my face. Lots of hard work made this happen. But this was not a solitary venture. I am an artist and artists, for the most part, are solitary animals. When I began to write again, it was in that artist mode: the …
