Thirteen years ago right now, I was waiting. It was a few days after this that I underwent a procedure that would determine if I was going to be a mother or not. I was driving in to Toronto from just south of Barrie, Ontario every morning before 9am to have blood drawn and ultrasounds [...]

Yesterday I saw a note posted by a young friend on Facebook. It was an article, supposedly written by Bill Cosby. As I read it, I was sure that there was no way that Mr. Cosby had written it, and so I looked it up, and lo and behold, it’s a viral post that’s been [...]

I have developed a little obsession lately. Grumpy Cat. It’s not just, “Oh, isn’t he (who’s actually a she) cute!” I cannot get enough of this cat. I would be forever indebted to anyone who catnaps Grumpy Cat for me (OK, on this one, I’m kidding: please note that I do NOT endorse catnapping of [...]

The power keeps flickering on and off at my house today. Not like the “did the power just flicker?” kind of flickering, either. The kind that lasts just long enough for you to think, “Oh crap, the power just went out,” and then it comes back on. The kind that lasts just long enough for [...]

If you’ve read my About the Author page, you know that I have four kids. I adore them, and they are the best thing I’ve ever done in my life, even if they drive my batsh*t crazy sometimes! My oldest just turned twelve last week (and had the teenage eye roll perfected by seven) and [...]

Hello all you lovely people! How is 2013 treating you so far? I’d ask if you made any resolutions, but I don’t really believe in them, so feel free to share them if you made them, or tell me why you don’t, if you didn’t! Hopefully 2013 will be a year of great things for [...]

I was asked by Tamara Beard recently to take part in her “Why Indies Rock” blog tour, and for obvious reasons, I couldn’t resist! The idea was the brainstorm of Tammy-Louise Wilkins, Shelly Pratt, and Tamara, and came about because of the reaction that people still, sadly, often have towards authors who have chosen this [...]

I’ve been blessed with some really amazing reviews lately, but I’ve been so busy I haven’t had the chance to share, and to say thank you! Reviews of What Lies Behind: “An enchanting novel about families, love, mistakes and redemption, What Lies Behind is a touching and heart-wrenching account of how love and hurt can shape your life.” [...]

I was thrilled to get an invitation to participate in Terri Guiliano Long’s Hallowe’en Flash Writing contest. I hope you enjoy my contribution!   * * * Invisible Visitor “Who were you talking to?” I asked my daughter, walking into her bedroom. As I came down the hall, I had heard her talking away in [...]

Can I just say that I am SO glad that the excursion my roommate and I both ended up on started at 10am, and was a 5 minute walk from the hotel? I woke up, picked up my phone (like any good Twitter addict), and scrolled through the #BlissdomCA hashtag, hoping to see if anything [...]
