From one mother to another…
Raising three teenage girls is tough. Add in learning disabilities,
suicide & depression and it’s a miracle I’m not an alcoholic.

#SteenaReads: The Nightingale
I'm just waiting for my flight to depart from Chicago and heading home to Calgary. I've got three hours to work on a plot outline and read. I've saved this story for this trip - I thought I'd have more time to read (silly me) so I'm only on chapter 4 - but so far I'm...
#SteenaReads: Second Chance Grill
Don't you LOVE this cover! Every time I see Christine Nolfi's series, I fall in love with the cover over and over. I'm on a cruise ship right now and when I'm not writing - I'm taking a break and reading. LOTS. Having just finished Burying the Honeysuckle Girls (which...
What’s Your Word?
I was recently asked to choose a word to live by for the year. In the past, I've always chosen words like passion, truth, love, dream - all words that were strong and powerful and true. These were words I would write on my board close to my desk and look at each day,...

Sweet Bakes
Forgive me for bragging on my oldest daughter for a moment please...I just can't seem to resist. I love cakes. I especially love cakes that I don't have to make, cakes that taste amazing and look oh so good...like these ones below. My oldest wants to be a pastry chef...
It’s okay to not be okay
This hasn't been the easiest of posts for me to write. I'm pretty sure I've deleted more words than I've written and I'm still not sure if what I'm trying to actually say makes any lick of sense either but if you've been in my shoes, hopefully you'll understand. As a...
#FridayReads
I love #fridayreads and I always seem to either be reading something awesome or need to be reading something awesome - which brings #fridayreads into play because so many of us love to share book titles on Facebook or Twitter. I have been waiting with baited breath...
Ask The Author: Stillwater Series
Question: "Will there be more books in the Stillwater Bay series?" I'm so glad you asked! Short answer...YES! In fact, I just released Dreams of Stillwater. When I first published Stillwater Rising I knew that this would be a series. I want to focus on the aftermath,...
