Things I Learnt from my first Book Signing
They say everything is a learning curve, and wow- is book signing ever a learning curve! I had my first two signings, one in Edmonton, one in St. Albert, both Alberta. I had lots of friends come to sit with me, visit with me and just wave at me, which was amazing. During these two…

My First Novel is Published, and it only took me wearing how many hats to get here.
Find all the links below if you want to read my YA Fantasy novel- Justyce Scales of the Otherly and Obscura. But for now, a short tale. Do you know the saying ‘wearing many hats?’ I think becoming an author probably required the most amount of hat-wearing. You see, I’ve been many things in my…
