I am going to be at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo sharing a booth with author Simon Rose (April 24 – 27) at the BMO Center in Stampede Park.

As per usual, I will have my books, Scout badges and all the personality you can stand. 😛 If you are attending, please come by and say, “Hello”. Buying books or badges is always optional (but encouraged).

I put that bar there both to keep you, my readers, informed on book progress and to […]
Read moreWe are almost there. “Where?” you might ask. There, in this case, is the launch of Super Sonya vs the Woodpecker in English, Super Sonya contra le Pic in French and Súper Sonya contra el Pájaro Carpintero in Spanish. Almost there also means the realization of a goal I’ve had for many years – to have a children’s picture book published. And, in this case, not just any picture book but a picture book written for and featuring my granddaughter. It is a very special book to me and I am excited to share it with you. Yes, we are almost there. Two more days and it is released. I invite you to experience it yourself and let me know what you […]
