For those of you living in Orillia and area, I will be at the Orillia Public Library on the last day of summer, Friday, September 21st from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. I will be performing a reading from my newly released novel, Wake Me Up Inside. It is a page turner, pardon the pun, and readers having been emailing me ‘they love it’. Paige Maddison, the teen heroine, fights off evil on the O’Brien Estate. Come on out and join us for a fun filled time! 🙂 Thank you for this opportunity, Orillia Public Library. I will be signing books towards the end. It is also for sale in downtown Orillia at Manticore Books. See you there! 🙂
ADMINISTRATIVE

This is just a reminder that I speak English and understand French, loosely speaking, but outside of that, I am not multi-lingual. So sorry about that! If you would like to leave a comment, could you please translate it to English. I wish I was fluent in many more languages and some of you have left great information that I would love to publish, but only if it’s in English. Thank you so much for your time and trouble. 🙂
9/11
September 11, 2012 by 1 Comment
When I awoke this morning, the first thing I thought of was today’s date. And I don’t believe there’s one person that does not think of what happened on this day, eleven years ago. My heart goes out to all of the survivors, their families, and especially to those families who lost someone in this tragedy. The rest of us cannot say ‘we understand your loss’ because it was so tragic and senseless. May we always remember so we, as a collective consciousness, do NOT let this ever happen again! Healing and love to you all. 🙂

Great news! This just in… Wake Me Up Inside has been chosen as part of Battle of the Books, for tweens, in the Orillia and area schools. It’s a very competitive program with teams and a Spring trivia contest testing the knowledge of the books the students have read. What an honour! Thank you Melissa, and the Orillia Public Library for choosing my book for the Canadian category. 🙂

Spooktacular Halloween

Cross your fingers for me! I am working on a spooktacular Halloween event that will even give me goosebumps. Stay tuned for the location and date. Cannot wait for this to come. My husband, Kevin, and I decorated our home, for our son Justin, with many Halloween creatures, shaking ghosts, masks and more that scared the teens that came over. 🙂 And, they came back every year!
Gratitude
August 23, 2012 by 2 Comments
I am often asked ‘why did I get into the writing business’. The answer – to help people. Today, I am humbled by the comments on my blog. Normally, I do not post personal feelings too often, but, I had a big cry this morning. I am happy to help those of you on topics discussed on this blog. After all, we are here to help each other, n’est pas? That is the underlying theme to why I am a writer. Thank you to those of you who spend time on this page and who see that. 🙂
Successful Book Launch
August 22, 2012 by
On the other side of The Book Keeper book launch/signing, I wanted to express my gratitude for all parties involved from Susan Chamberlain, owner of The Book Keeper, and her wonderful staff, to my sisters Lynn and Cindy for the catering of the event, and to all of the lovely people who came out to support me and the fans of Paige Maddison’s, thank you from the bottom of my heart. It was well attended! My husband, Kevin, counted just shy of 100. Thank you Kevin and to our son, Justin, for all of your support, each and every day. Paige seems to be gaining fans and readership so let’s keep it going. Wake Me Up Inside is sold at The Book Keeper, Sarnia, ON and now at Manticore Books in Orillia, ON. Fantastic! It is also online at amazon.ca amazon.com Barnes and Noble Chapters.ca and many other sites. It will soon be on Kobo! 🙂 This author is happy and peaceful. 🙂
The Book Keeper Signing, Saturday, August 18th
August 16, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Hello Sarniaaaa! We are coming home again for this auspicious book signing from 11 am to 1 pm. I cannot wait! Family, friends, colleagues, perhaps some fans of Paige’s, what more can you ask for?! Susan, Julie and the Staff of the Book Keeper have all been tremendously supportive and I thank them from the bottom of my heart. The first book signing will never be the same as the next, and is the most special. A friend of mine, who has written fourteen novels, reminded me of that, yesterday. That’s why I chose Sarnia for the book launch. 🙂 Thank you to all for your support. Hope to see you there!
