Hello, !

January has been filled with fog. Ugh. One of the things I love about where I live is that the winters are usually cold but sunny. Not this month, though! We've had more fog than sun and it really affects my mood. Luckily it seems to be passing. I took this photo after a 5km hike in one of our favourite parks. And yes, that's wine in that mug! Considering we still had another kilometre to go to get back to our car I think I deserved it. BTW, this view is a location I feature in TURN THE NEXT PAGE, my most recent release. Aubrey and Phillip go there for a picnic on a much sunnier day! Click the photo for more about that book.

An adventurous, go-with-the-flow historian…a scrupulous, stick-to-the-rules scientist…an attraction so wrong it’s absolutely right.

What I'm Reading (or Have Read...)

Since Christmas I've been on a paranormal kick. If you haven't discovered this series yet, you may want to give it a try. Not a romance (though there are romantic elements, like any good book should). To be honest, I read the first book (this one, Rivers of London) last year and enjoyed it but didn't seek out the rest. Then I thought I'd give it another try and am really getting into it. The writing is hilarious and the characters likable and interesting. It's written in the first person with a very breezy and casual voice. Two thumbs up!
