This is such a busy time of year. Besides the rush of Christmas shopping, arranging meals and menus for arriving family, I chose this time of the year to write a new book. Why? Because it demanded to be written and being weak, I could not resist the adrenalin rush of revealing its mysteries. I …

The Puppet and WWII History
‘Tis the season of television specials and re-runs. Last evening, my husband was scrolling channels, looking for something to watch other than Christmas specials or hockey games played by teams he was not interested to watch. Along the way, he paused to watch a World War II clip of soldiers in the trenches and the atrocities and …

I Love Paris…

Thoughts From a Sitting Position
I am indeed, sitting, and have been for some time. Why? I’ve been reviewing, researching and reading. What? Email, Facebook, Twitter and other people’s blogs. I’m finding it fascinating to read the diversity of topics and opinions that are found in blogs. Of course, you have to access them first, which is where Twitter is …

Backlash Background
The third book in the Spy Series, BACKLASH, is now available for download on Smashwords and I thought some background would be helpful. In my mind, the story wasn’t over when we last left our group in Paris. There was more to say, and some questions were left answered. It also occurs to me that …

It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood
Autumn has arrived in the Okanagan Valley. Fall’s frosty hand has begun to show its artistry and the results are stunningly beautiful. This photo was taken in our community a few days ago. It almost makes you forget that winter is just around the corner. So I began to think of things that I …
