      Happy New Year Karilyn! I wish I was going to RWA! Maybe next year. It'll either be RWA or RT that I'll try to add to the roster. Right now I'm trying to focus on events that are closer to home. It's such an expense for me to go to the USA and if there's not a book seller in place, I can't sell books (legally), either. :-/

      Totally understand. The only reason I'm going to RWA this year is b/c it's in town. :) Which means no airfare for me! ha! :) Not sure if I'll be going next year. We shall see!

    Have you ever been to SIWC – Surrey international writers conference?
    It's held every year, in October, I think. I attended the conference years ago when there were about 20 of us, before it went international and became a huge event. It attracts writers, from aspiring to some big name, agents and editors from all over the world.

      I've applied twice to go as a presenter/panelist/author signing, but each time have been told they've "already procured their quota of authors for my genre." I'd love to go, so maybe I'll just have to go as a guest, and soak in the experience. Apparently they now have SiWC at Sea! I'd LOVE to do that, but I'll probably have to wait until the kids are older. My husband only gets so many days off and the youngest is too young to leave that long with anyone other than us. *sigh*

      You're in BC, right? Are you attending any local author events this year?

THE KICKASS HEROINES BUNDLE  The Kickass Heroines Bundle - Curated by Melissa Snark TL/DR: Get your StoryBundle with Kickass Heroines here:  https://storybundle.com/heroines What does it take to qualify as a kickass heroine? Tough question. Curating this bundle has taken me on a journey of discovery into nuances—everyone has their own definition. Often while talking to a prospective author, they would say, "I'm not sure my heroine kicks ass BUT…" She does in her own way. Every woman is the heroine of her own heroic journey, and that doesn't always mean what we might assume. Heroism is about helping others; acts of heroism can be great or small. I would like to give a shout out to the real-life heroine-volunteers of Knitted Knockers [https://www.knittedknockers.org/] who make special handmade breast prosthesis for women who have undergone mastectomies or other procedures. A portion of the proceeds of this bundle will go to benefit the Knitted Knockers c

The hotter the fire, the deeper the burn… Finn Conleth leads his team of enforcer dragon shifters with an iron fist and a cold heart. Every dragon seeks his destined mate, but the process to turn the woman he once thought was his killed her and devastated him. He will never risk his heart again. His team is his family now. When his body eventually gives out, he’ll leave, living his last days alone. Delaney Hamilton moved across the country to escape the freak fires that plague her. But when another suspicious fire erupts and rapidly escalates around her, her hopes for a new life go up in smoke. She has no choice but to turn to the mysterious men who come to her aid. Finn knows the fire is dragon-caused, which puts Delaney’s problems directly in his jurisdiction. No matter how her wounded grey eyes call to every part of him, he refuses to risk her life in the mating process. Until another dragon threatens to claim Delaney for his own, and Finn has to sacrifice everything to k
