The Almost Home Invasion
I meant to post a month ago, but lost track of time.
I’m teaching two of my sons how to drive. This is, without a doubt, the most difficult thing about being a parent. For their entire lives, I kept them safe when they were in a vehicle. Now I’m putting them behind the wheel. At the mercy of other drivers. I don’t know if you’ve seen how people drive these days. Like every traffic light is the green flag at a NASCAR race. Like their driving at the Indy 500 if there’s more than one lane. Like rul...

February Fun
DAWNBREAKER launches in just a few days! If you pre-order the e-book, you’ll get it at the lower price. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS PRE-ORDERED SO FAR! Pre-orders help authors determine if readers are eager for the book. If I think my pre-order numbers for Dawnbreaker look good, I’ll continue with pre-orders for future books. Otherwise, I don’t think I will. Amazon emails me every couple of days to “make sure my book is uploaded and ready,” and I panic. Yes, the book is uploaded. I’ve previewed i...

Snow Days, Pastries and a Snippet
It looks pretty, but driving in this weather is the worst. Blizzard conditions and icy roads mean travelling at 40 km/h and white-knuckling it.
It’s a weird winter. One day the sky will dump 20 cm of ...

DAWNBREAKER - chapter 2
As I have every day for the past three weeks, I’m sitting here with my morning coffee, checking my email, waiting to announce the pre-order for DAWNBREAKER is live. This announcement was supposed to be the big Day 1 reveal of the Ivory Countdown to Christmas. (Actually, I was expecting to announce the pre-order in October, but my edits didn’t come back until mid-December, right when Amazon shut down for two weeks over the holidays.). I put my request in for author copies, and until I have receiv...

Post Christmas
Christmas is over for another year. We were hit with a major blizzard that started Christmas Eve and lasted until Boxing Day. I didn’t mind. I like being cozy with nowhere to go. Unfortunately, my eldest son got stuck in a snow drift on his way to see us....

Many thanks to Vickie for proofreading for me! Any errors are mine.
