I’ve been distant and dishonest. I realized it last week when I received a message from one of my biggest and youngest fans, Nicole Martel. She discovered my book series when she met me at one of my book signings in Vancouver, Canada. You may remember her from […]
I want to be honest with you and let you know that I may be biased because Vancouver is my hometown, but I truly believe it is one of the most spectacular destinations in the world! There is so much to do in and around Vancouver from winter […]

The moment we decided to visit Vancouver on holiday, I knew I had to arrange a #TRLT in-person tweet meet. Most of you have probably heard about Twitter Travel Chat #TRLT (The Road Less Travelled) that I founded over two years ago. We have members from all over […]

I love all of the exciting, interesting people we meet at each fair. People who come into your life and stay friends forever. This week I will be selling books at Circle Craft (Nov. 11t-16th) and Christmas in Seattle (Nov. 14-16) at both the Convention Centres. I can’t […]
What a fantastic start to an exciting book tour!!! I can hardly wait for the next thing to start, yet want to freeze time so I can enjoy it longer. I’ve been in such a buzz since I got here that I’ve hardly had time for anything […]
