Find all my books here I’ve always found the idea of travelling back in time fascinating. And the thought of meeting up with a rugged highlander like Travis, the Laird in this book is one of my wildest dreams. To think what it must have been like back then in the days before transport, electricity and all the other commodities that make our lives so easy nowadays. The Laird is Book One in my Wild Heather series and if you fall in love with the Laird as I did in this book then you will enjoy Book Two in the series which continues on with the handsome rogue’s story. For something ..read more

  Visit Canadian Historical Mysteries Saskatchewan Page for Purchase Information I’ve written five cozy mysteries, ‘Wayward Shot,’ ‘Death and Denial,’ ‘The Trouble with Funerals,’ ‘The Suspects,’ ‘Murder Exit Stage Right.’ And one thriller, ‘Moving is Murder.’ My newest novel is a historical mystery.

AVAILABLE HERE I have a cousin in Australia who loves to travel. She and her husband are currently in Vietnam, and the photographs she shares on Facebook are stunning. My daughter and her husband also love to travel. I have lost track of all the countries they have visited, which included Vietnam.

Journeys are a bit like reading or writing a book. A is the beginning, and Z is the end, with all sorts of interes ..read more

Find my books here In my last three books (the Mapleby Memories trilogy) my heroines all travelled back in time, and in Many a Moon, the final book, the hero did as well. It took a lot of research to get the historical facts right and stepping into the past and finding a way to link it to the present was taxing at times. Writing them was also a lot of fun. Now, however, I'm in the middle of a real journey into the past courtesy of the writer Charlotte Bronte, and what an eye-opener it is proving to be. I last read Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte's first published novel (1847) when I ..read more

Or M could be for Medraut, the colorful dragon on the cover of Fire and Redemption. While sitting on the glider on the front porch another idea came to mind. M really is for Mosquito. There are two kinds of mosquitos easily found in the area. The small, almost invisible unless they are in a swarm No See 'Ems and the kind you saddle and ride. Often you never see the No See 'Ems, their presence is made ..read more

I look at the girl in those photos and I wonder who she is. It's almost like she's a different person and not a younger me, which is absurd. But I realize how much I have changed as I grow older. Maiden, Mother, Matriarch, Crone. I don't mind growing older, I just feel like I've somehow lost a bit of connection with the younger me. I used to believe I could do anything I ..read more
