Favourite Books
I love historical fiction. It’s been my favourite genre since I hit a reading level that actually had historical fiction. The series that solidified my love of historical fiction was the Royal Diaries, which are a branch of the Dear America books. The first two installments; Elizabeth I: Red Rose of the House of Tudor […]
My Ideal Writing Space
Anywhere can be the ideal writing space. It really depends on the writer, how much noise you can write through, what sort of environment helps you be creative, etc. The beautiful library with a massive desk and big comfy chairs with a roaring fireplace tends to come to mind, but most people aren’t quite fortunate […]
My favourite historical periods – Tudor England
I’ve had a fascination with England for years. I love England and for some reason the Tudors, more so than any other royals of English history were the focus of that fascination. I’ve branched out to more historical periods since then, but I thought I should begin with the one that started it all. Over […]

I’ll keep this one short. I debated not doing a post at all, sort of a digital day of silence, but I want to acknowledge today. I’m not a fan of violence and war, but I am grateful to those who fight for maintain our way of life and all those who have given their […]
What I’m Reading – Remember Me? and the Secret of Ka
I just finished reading Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella and am currently reading Secret of Ka by Christopher Pike (not the character from Star Trek, though that would be cool too). Remember Me? is the story is about Lexi Smart. She starts off the story with a loser boyfriend, crappy job, no money and a […]
Why do you want to be a writer?
I have always loved writing. I suppose it began with school projects; poetry, creative writing, independent study projects. I wasn’t necessarily very good when I started out, but like all things, practice makes a difference. I’ve written my way through hundreds of thousands of words, in half created or barely started original novels, in countless […]
