Netgalley and Goodreads for the Author

Goodreads and Netgalley are part of the writing business. Yes, first you write the book, then you go through edits. Like a lot of edits. Then finally you have a book out. But hold on, it doesn’t stop there. You have to promote. I will admit, this is a huge learning curve for me as [...]

Reading YA Fiction

My to-be-read book pile, you know the one beside the bed, right now is filled with a YA books.  Why you might ask?  I’m an adult.   I should read adult books.  As a YA author I feel it is important to read what is current and popular but also find those gems that are just really well written.  [...]

The Hybrid Author

I’ve been hearing a lot and reading a lot about the hybrid author. Those authors who are published traditionally but for whatever reason are moving on to self-publish as well. Notice, I said as well there. I’m curious as to how to do this. I have a friend (Deborah Nicholson) who published books with a [...]

Olympic Bucket List- Curling!

Okay, curling fans, I went to a match yesterday and watched Canada beat Great Britain. I loved it, and I mean loved it. I was fortunate to sit by someone who knew a lot about the sport and explained all the strategies to me and why they were putting the rocks where they were. It [...]

Let’s Talk Hockey…and speed skating.

Okay, so the first game is over for the Men’s Canadian hockey team and it was a win. Yes, a win. Was it pretty? Well, not really. Norway played hard, let’s give them a bit of credit for taking it to our guys, playing against the best and not being intimidated. I’ve been to a [...]

Bright Lights of Sochi

As I was running along the Black Sea today, I thought about the Olympic Games and what a positive impact it has on our world. Yes, we have many different cultures, with different ideas on how to run things, but for this short time period we all come together to compete against each other in [...]

Beautiful day in Sochi!

I woke up to sunshine and warmth, blue skies and joy. The mountains in the background are white and much like the Rockies. In fact, the weather reminds me of Vancouver. I will run along the Black Sea today and it is beautiful with a nice trail. Today will be another great day at the [...]
