There’s excitement in the air this week as the buzz for Where Long Shadows Ends begins! If you haven’t see the cover designed by the multi-talented Christian Laforet, what are you waiting for?

scenes and encounters
This past weekend, I had the joy of setting up a table at a local craft fair! It’s been so long since I’ve sat with my books and talked to people about them. Really thankful for the opportunity, and for the kind staff and volunteers who welcomed me! I’m pretty sure I was the only…

grand adventure
Oh where to start! I feel like this month has flown by – at the same time, how is it December already? The Fall Book Crawl (November 23, 2019) was a grand adventure. Fellow author Ben Van Dongen gave my husband and I a ride to the Tecumseh library – quite a trek, if you…

eventful day
This past Saturday was an eventful day, and not in the ways I was expecting! I woke up to the first major snowfall of the year, curtains of snow that fell and fell and fell. I’m one of those people who absolutely love snow. But the weather did change my plans for the day. The…
