February 12, 2017.Reading time less than 1 minute.

Did you know that the novel Jaws was based on a true story? Yeah. I didn’t want to know that either (goodbye swimming FOREVER). There is nothing to make a creepy story even creepier than knowing IT ACTUALLY happened. In honour of Mystery Thriller Week, I have put together this vid to share the real […]

Was it lovely when my mother-in-law phoned to let me know she had thoroughly enjoyed my novel? Sure. Did I get a bit of a high every time my writing group complimented me on an excerpt. Hell, yeah.
