Happy birthday to ME!! Updates of Things to Come!

 

Yes, my real, yummy birthday cake!!

I can honestly say this has been a HUGE year for changes with more to come.

There have been a few constants--my Escape With a Writer Blog, my feline companions, my family, and many friends--but a lot of other things have changed and will keep on evolving.

  • I've moved across Canada from Ontario to Alberta, which is more of a homecoming since I was born and raised here.
  • I now have my own business (Escape With a Writer!) and am working closely with my publisher of the past 10 years, BWL Publishing Ltd. Currently, we are setting up a Shopify store - Links to come. And there is big news with the additions of a new author who is a member of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame!
  • Oh, and I'll be training with BWL to eventually take over the publishing reins. Lots to learn there. 
  • Under the banner of Escape With a Writer, will not only be the blog, but I'm madly plotting a podcast to feature amazing authors and other people who I think are just plain fascinating! I have a lot of learning to do for that yet since I'm busy going down rabbit holes to learn about so many things right now.
  • Heading out to a couple great writing conferences. One is When Words Collide coming soon to Calgary. 

AND editing a couple books for good friends.

AND writing a couple books! Dead Without Malice, my next and possibly last Gilda Wright Mystery comes out in June 2024. Jesse James' Gold, a book in the BWL Canadian Historical Mystery Series, comes out in October 2024. Time to start cracking the whip!

Happy New Year 2023!

 


Happy New Year to you all!

I have to say 2022 for me has been every bit a rollercoaster as the previous two years!

Family stuff.

Personal stuff.

New books ~ I launched The Conned Lady and Dead Man's Doll! Check them out!

                   

New projects ~ I started creating essential oil products under the name Lavender Moon... My witch name. Yup. I'm one of those! I don't do well with perfumes but love the smells of essential oils. I'm also loving upgrading my Reiki to go along with it!

  

So with all these great things, what's coming up in 2023?

More great classes and becoming a Reiki Teacher!

A new Glitter Bay Mystery in June called All That Shimmers - Laken, Sage, and Quinn are back with a whole new mystery!

Many more interviews, podcast appearances, and book reviews!

Maybe...just maybe...another new book in time for Christmas 2023. More details to come!

Oh and a great new book coming in November 2024! A Canadian Historical Mystery from my publisher BWL Publishing called Jesse James' Gold. https://bwlpublishing.ca/authors/canadian-historical-mysteries/  
Believe it or not, there is a local legend here in Southern Ontario that Jesse James rode and buried gold here. I'll be taking a road trip in the spring to find the area where he's rumoured to have buried it. In the meantime, I'm planning a book around the legend.



As you can see, lots of great things coming in 2023! Even a couple things on the back burner that I haven't shared yet.

Have a wonderful year!
