About this author

Linda Poitevin lives just outside Canada’s capital, Ottawa, with her husband, the youngest of three daughters, one very large husky/shepherd/Great Dane-cross dog, two cats, a rabbit, and a bearded dragon lizard. Turned down in her pursuit of a police career after a faulty height measurement, Linda vicariously lives out her dream of being a cop through her characters. When she isn’t writing, she can usually be found in her garden in the summer, hugging the fireplace in the winter, or walking her dog along the river in any season.

Good gravy, it’s already the end of another week (insert head slap here)?!? Wow. It’s bad enough that time is passing way too fast, but the fact that it’s doing so AND I’m not accomplishing what I need to? That really is adding insult to injury. But enough whining. Here’s a quick look back at […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... Read more of this blog post »

Topics Mentioning This Author

China Miéville
“A trap is only a trap if you don't know about it. If you know about it, it's a challenge.”
China Miéville, King Rat

“Real confidence has a realistic view of itself. It knows what it is capable of and not capable of. Real confidence does not need to overcompensate for anything, it doesn’t have to try harder to be more than what it already is. Real confidence does not beat itself up when it makes a mistake. Real confidence is secure enough to let someone else take the credit for something, without losing its own identity. Real confidence is humble. Real confidence recognizes its weaknesses and limitations, and is secure enough to admit when it is wrong."

'Living With Confidence: From Fear To Love”
Dan Pedersen
