Life Without a Cell Phone
My name is Linda, and it has been 19 days since I last texted. Life without a cell phone wasn’t actually that bad for the first few days after inadvertently killing my Apple account. In fact, there was a certain sense of adventure that came with heading off into the world without the safety net of perpetual … Read More

How NOT to Update Your iPhone (A Tale of Technological Woe)
So last Friday morning, there I was, blithely swiping away through Facebook on my iPhone while avoiding getting out of bed, when a notification popped up reminding me that I still hadn’t updated to the latest iOS. “Huh,” I thought. “I have a few minutes to spare, I’ll do that now.” So I plugged in … Read More

Best-laid Garden Plans…Oops
I planned out my entire vegetable garden out on paper this year, right down to the last radish seed (I’m using the square-foot gardening method), so I was a little bit puzzled when I found myself left with a sizeable empty spot on planting day a week ago. Not puzzled enough, however, to go inside … Read More

Mother’s Day Sale Alert!!
Like your romance mixed with a little bit of humour and a little bit of suspense? Then Forever Grace is for you! “You still sure it was wise to take two of those things?” Sean swayed on his crutches, trying to bring one Grace into focus out of the three before him. They weren’t very … Read More

My writing life…exciting news and updates!
So things have been happening around here in my writing life. Exciting things. SERIOUSLY exciting things. Like signing with a brand new agent. Who sounds totally awesome (we talked about books a lot) and comes highly recommended. And who wants to pitch my about-to-be-self-published SHADOW OF DOUBT to New York publishers.

Treasured Sweater Memories
I have a treasure in my office. It hangs on the back of my chair for whenever I need it–which is most days, because my office is in the basement and it’s freezing down here! It’s miles too big for me, but that doesn’t matter. It’s also showing its age a little bit (it has all … Read More

Shadow of Doubt Cover Reveal!
I am beyond thrilled to finally show you the cover for my upcoming romantic suspense release, Shadow of Doubt! This one was a toughie, because my former cover designer (who did such a fabulous job on Sins of the Lost, Sins of the Warrior, and Forever Grace) is no longer in the business, so I … Read More

A Home Without Books
A couple of weeks ago, I posted about volunteering as an English tutor for Syrian refugees here in Ottawa. I didn’t mention it at the time, but something has been bothering me ever since my first visit with the family: they have no books. None. Not a one. There are three boys, ages 7, 13, and … Read More

Breaking Barriers: Getting out of the Comfort Zone
So last night, I did something new to me: I met with a family of Syrian refugees that I’m going to be tutoring in English. It’s the first time I’ve ever done anything like this, and I have to admit that I was hesitant about the idea. Meeting new people is awkward for me to … Read More
