COVER FOR NEVER KNOWING!

I haven't been able to blog for a while because I've been focused on writing and taking care of Annie, who had surgery to remove a Mast Cell Tumor. But good news all around! Annie is recovering and I love the cover design for NEVER KNOWING. Let me know what you think!

The Art of Racing in the Rain

I loved this book! Well, I love anything to do with dogs, so when I heard this book was narrated from a dog's perspective I had to read it. I'm glad I did. In this case it's not just a great story, but one with a powerful message. Five out of five!

All Grown Up!

Book Launch Nanaimo!

A few photos from my book launch this past Saturday in Nanaimo. Thanks to everyone who came out! More photos are on Facebook!

Still Missing

This is a photo of my father, "Chevy," taken when he was in the Navy. He passed away when I was twenty-two. It's my pub day and I'm thrilled, stunned, overwhelmed, and so touched by the outpouring of support, but it makes me sad that he won't get to read my book and I wanted to honor him somehow. So today's for you, Dad.

PEOPLE MAGAZINE!

STILL MISSING is reviewed in the June 28th issue of People Magazine, on stands now! And once you get past the distracting cover, ha!, you'll find it in their "Great Escapes" summer reading feature. It's so exciting to be part of this feature, but even more so because I'm in such great company. Linda Castillo's second book, PRAY FOR SILENCE, was also reviewed and it's in bookstores now. I loved her first one and can't wait to read this one.

STILL MISSING and Oprah!

That got your attention didn't it? Okay, okay, so I'm not on Oprah ( yet!!) but STILL MISSING is in the July issue of "O" Magazine, under the summer reads section. And let me tell you, in Writer Land that is pretty gosh darn exciting. Of course I had to run out and buy myself a couple of copies!
