Why the #CFL signs?

Well, when you happen to know someone ( @sportsandplants.bsky.social ) on a CFL podcast and they ask you to sub for them, you need to decorate!

I love editing books, but I also love an opportunity to talk sports. Go #TiCats !

I had such a fun day yesterday. The local romance bookstore (Slow Burn Books) put on an Indie Author Market.

There was a lineup to get in and the place was packed.

It's safe to say that people love supporting their local authors!

What services to I offer to authors?

I offer a range of services, from a place to start (manuscript evaluation) to a final look through (copyediting).

My favourite is collaborative editing. I truly enjoy providing ongoing feedback throughout the process.

I'm all about reading series lately. I'm diving into book 8 in the Dreadfulwater series by Thomas King. Excellent!

Took my #StetPet Frankie for a chilly winter #StetWalk (he had to wear his boots). Now, we nap.

Excited to join the BlueSky community! And excited to meet fellow books lovers and writers. And to talk about all things writing, romance, and fantasy. (And also sports and animals, too!)
