While I await further testing for my Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension, I'm on medication and I'm able to see again!
This past week, my husband, kids, and I went on a camping trip through Scouts Canada, where the kids were engaged in an activity program, my husband was learning in classes, and I got to spend the week writing in our rented trailer. It was amazing. I did plotting, editing, and wrote a bunch. I was unplugged for almost the entire week, and had absolutely zero obligations. It was one of the most relaxing times I've ever had in my life. I would jump at the chance to do another writer's retreat like this! My current word count is: 52,137. |

I am excited, and extremely proud to announce that my first novel, Love's Misadventure, won First in Category for Historical Romance in the Women's Fiction and Romantic Fiction Chatelaine Book Awards in the Chanticleer International Book Awards for 2017! Two of my other novels, The Trouble With Love and Love and Deceit, were placed on the short list for the same award. |

I wrote a post for Scary Mommy about my 8 year-old's diagnosis with Tourette Syndrome. This is the link, for your reference.

From the author:
I am touched, honoured, humbled, and completely and utterly grateful to have such an amazing network in my life. My parents are endlessly proud and supportive, which pushes me to continue. My seriously spectacular publisher has been there to offer encouragement and insight, which makes me love being a part of their family all the more. My friends and RWA group are, of course, completely wonderful, and my husband and children are eternally patient with me.
The fact that I use words for a living notwithstanding, I can scarcely come up with those appropriate to describe my appreciation in its entirety. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!
