In my last WIP Wednesday post, I mentioned I was completing round three of edits. Since I schedule my posts, I’ll be done round four by the time this goes live. Once my edits are done, it’s off for a critique. When the crit is done, I’ll do one more pass before sending the manuscript …
Today, I’m doing something different. I’ve given the reigns of my blog to fellow eXasty Books author V.J. Allison so she can interview her leading man from her latest release Stricken, a steamy contemporary romance set in Nova Scotia, Canada. **** Good day everyone. I’m V.J. Allison, and today, I’m interviewing Ewan Campbell. He’s the …
Yes, I’m participating. So I thought I’d give a quick update of my writing goals and progress until the end of the year. As you know, Blessed was released on July 06, 2018, the first book in the Matawapit Family Trilogy. At the end of October, I finished the fourth draft for Redeemed, Book Two, …
Yes, there is no Throwback Thursday today, because Darryl Keejik, one of my heroes from Blessed, is being interviewed at I Love Romance Blog. And I am, too. Stop on by and read what Darryl and I have to say!
It’s been ages since I’ve done a book review. So I’m happy to say here is my latest review of Guarded Wish by Addison Carmichael. I did my best to keep this spoiler free, because I’m also posting the review at Goodreads.

Today, I have author Karen Botha guesting at my blog. She’s here to talk about The Commitment Collection, her latest book series featuring super-hawt race car drivers.

Who’s on the Cover? I can’t think of one reader who doesn’t enjoy a nice cover on a romance novel. Covers are important to readers and writers. If you see an awful cover, it makes you go “hmmm.” See a good cover and you want to find out more. And…

Being new to book marketing after the release of my first novel through eXtasy Books on July 6th, I asked the staff at Digital Book Girl to guest at my blog in order to help fellow authors choose the right book promotion service for their shiny new release they’ve slaved over.

I enjoy memoirs/autobiographies/biographies about the First People of Canada, so I thought I’d share a few that stayed with me long after I finished the book. Everyone’s journey is a story. I’ll start with Indian School Days by Basil Johnston. The reason his story interested me so much (besides being…
There is no Fantasy Friday today because anyone who is anyone is at Le Golf National in Guyancourt, France for the Ryder Cup. And what exactly is the Ryder Cup?
