Happily Ever After
One year ago today I was waking up at 5:30 am to have my hair and makeup done in preparation for a moment I’d waited over a year prior to arrive. A year ago today I got married and in honor of that I’m going to pick out my favourite weddings from books I’ve read. […]

Tis the season for festivals! Edmonton is playing host to yet another batch of wonderful festivals this week including the Edmonton Rock Festival, The Fringe Festival and the Latin Festival.

The Myth of Spring
We are officially in spring now, so I figured it would be a good time to get to know the Goddess herself. Persephone is the Goddess of Spring, Queen of the Underworld and the heroine of my first novel. Mythologically speaking, Persephone is a bit of a pawn in the machinations of others. Her original […]
Brotherly Love in Literature
Today is my brother’s birthday so I thought a fitting blog post would be to pick out the most memorable brothers from books that I’ve read. It occurs to me as I scour my collections that there are not a lot of brothers in the books, or at least not a lot of ones that […]
