It’s only Rock ‘n’ Roll Being a die-hard music fan, I enjoy memoirs and autobiographies by groupies and WAGS (wives and girlfriends)–the lovely ladies who inspired many of the songs we love. What about those who work in the music industry or became part of the band’s inner-circle? They’re included,…
I did a previous post about the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women of Canada, recommending books I read, along with providing the web site link where further information can be obtained. Since that post, I located more books on the MMIW that I haven’t had a chance to read, but plan on adding to my …

The PGA Tour is taking a break from golf this week, so I have no fantasy picks for the Golf Channel and PGA. But across the pond, the European Tour is in full swing (pun intended!) as the Race to Dubai continues to heat up. Everyone who is anyone is heading for Spjik, Netherlands to …
I’m a sucker for period dramas and mysteries. I should be because historical romance is my favourite genre to read. Since I’m on good ol’ satellite TV and not hip to Netflix LOL, I naturally gear up for the fall TV season. Mind you I don’t watch a lot of shows, but when I do …

Previously, I did two posts about my favourite romance couples in novels, and my favourite romance couples in film. Today, I’m covering TV. I’ll be dedicating this post to only one couple, but stick around, because there will be a Part II for TV. During my teen years, I always enjoyed racing to my boyfriend’s …
Funny, most Canadians simply say RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police). At least everyone I know does. But to the rest of planet earth, people say “Mounties.” When I read Grass Dance by Kathryn Imbriani, her book made me want to read and research about the Northwest Mounted Police, as the RCMP was known way back …

As noted in my previous posts, I enjoy reading about Indigenous heroines. So when I came across Robin Deeter‘s Paha Sapa Saga series, I had to click on the buy option. According to her Goodreads page, Ms. Deeter is planning twelve books for the series. Available for purchase are: Sacrifice and Reward, Winter Moon, The …

Meanwhile, in the USA, …
I did a previous post about the novels–contemporary and historical–I’ve read, was reading, or planned on reading that starred Indigenous heroines. Today, I’m blogging about more books I’ve discovered. It doesn’t matter if the continent is North America, South America, Australia, or wherever else. As a matter of fact, after watching Mighty Cruise Ships by …
Where I live, there are places told to me where the Ojibway and Dakota battled. There is even two towns that carry the names–one is a narrows and the other is a lookout spot. One elder even mentioned a battle that took place where a bridge is now–it’s where she wanted to offer tobacco, she …

Let’s take a look at where stories are created, from the desk of… Maggie Blackbird My Writing Routine …
I grew up on what is known as the Voyageurs’ Highway, the lakes and rivers men used to transport furs from long ago to back east. As a child, and unbeknownst to me of its history, the replica fort where my cousins, sisters, brother, and I used to play was simply a neat place to …
