Blogging for Blooms Day & My Birthday! Book Giveaway!


After a slight blog hiatus to put the finishing touches on my up-coming novel and for the birth of my first baby (how do you like those excuses?). I'm about to roll out some mind-blowing blog posts. You'll get cool interviews with some of the hottest writers and editors in the publishing business, and if you're lucky I'll say something worthwhile (but don't count on it!).

It has been an amazing year for me, to say the least.  Publication of my first novel, The Raven's Gift, with Penguin Canada, some great reviews and press, a reading at the Harbourfront Centre in Toronto, a stint on Amazon Canada's Top 100 list for over 50 days and the birth of Atticus.  So that was thirty-six. I look forward to what this next year brings. If thirty-seven is even a shadow of this year, I'll take it. (Plus thirty-seven is the new thirty-six, right?)

To celebrate Blooms Day and the adventures of  Ulysses and my birthday. Post a comment and at 11:59pm tonight, while it is still daylight in Alaska, I'll pick one of you to win a copy of The Raven's Gift.
