A Published EBook: Let the Social Media Begin!

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 …

My ‘Other’ Life: The Halifax Kennel Club Show

This past weekend was spent in my other life, in the limelight of the dog show ring,  judging a purebred dog show in Halifax, Nova Scotia on the far east coast of Canada. In this electronic world which many of us chose to embrace, sometimes it is easy to forget that it’s a big world …

Publishing Ebooks is More Than Pushing the Key

February First! It seems like Christmas was just yesterday and here we are almost through our winter.  Life here has taken on a frenetic sort of pace as I continue to review my Editor’s notes, polish and varnish Malice & Murder (working title The Whisper).

Winter has decided to arrive after a very mild beginning. Snow and overcast skies make me want to turn on the fireplace and pull out a good ebook. Instead, I’ve included a photo of a tropical beach taken by an old friend to cheer things up. I am, in what my sister describes as postpartum …

UK Policing Organization

As I continue to refine and edit Malice & Murder (working title The Whisper), I found myself faced with a dilemma. Because I used Steven Hunter, one of my heroes from the Spy Series, as one of the protagonists in this book and the story reaches back into his childhood, the location of the book was, of …

Food for Thought

As a new year hovers on the horizon, I assume virtually every blog will post the same wishes and hopes for 2012.  Traditionally, along with a new year comes a plan for change in health, habits and life in general. In my own life, 2012 will bring about drastic change: the impending loss of my …

What’s in a Name?

  For the second time, I have listened to those whose opinions I trust, and changed what I believed was a good book title.  This book is still in the hands of beta readers and being edited, with a target publish date in January. Thankfully, no ISBN number has been created yet. At this point …

Twitter: You Have to Love it!

It has been my experience that Twitter has allowed me the opportunity to interact with a group of very nice, interesting and diverse people. I have had an entertaining, humorous conversation with mystery writer, @erickeithmystry. He is a very witty and funny man; follow him if you don’t already. I admire quick-witted people because I …
