Springing into Action

Silver Sentinels | Acrylic by Lee Rawn

After a quiet winter,  spring has brought with it a series of exciting developments and events. You may notice that there’s a new page on this website, Author to Readers. This is a way to purchase The Solstice Conspiracy, ebook and audiobook directly. I’m excited to have the audiobook available. Although written for a younger audience, the story has attracted readers of all ages. 

It’s a story of renewal, has a gentle ecological theme, and is woven with a sense of magic. Beth, the protagonist, discovers  fairies living in a tangled, over-grown garden. After a rocky start, they meet in a spirit of cooperation. However, not everyone is pleased with this development. 

You Are Invited

Enjoy a weekend of workshops, delicious food, author forums, and entertainment as the Word on the Lake writers festival rolls around on the May long weekend

It begins on the evening of Friday, May 16th through Sunday, the 18th. The line-up of presenters is impressive and diverse. Sessions include workshops as well as an open forum with the presenters. A blue pencil session, with your author of choice, is also available. This is a chance to present your writing to a writing professional for feedback. 

There’s a lunch on Saturday, followed by a banquet in the evening. A light breakfast follows on Sunday morning. Check the website for schedules and the many fabulous activities. https://www.saow.ca

Here are just a few of the presenters this year:

• Diana Gabaldon, author of the New York Times bestselling Outlander novels.
• Carmen Aguirre, playwright and memoirist of the recent book, ‘Something Fierce’
• CC Humphreys, novelist, actor, playwright. Author of ‘The Jack Absolute’ series.

 This event is a great avenue to learn more writing skills, meet other writers, and leave fired up with inspiration. 

 I’d love to hear from you with your comments and ideas.
