Blossom season in Edmonton! Worth the wait ☺️ #yeg #yegspring

Got a flood in my house from a burst pipe. The water didn’t sit long, the emergency crew has come, I’m really hoping to save my hardwood…🤞Any idea what the odds are? #keepcalmandcarryon

Almost time. Just remembered lipstick! 🙈

This

This is the sign above my desk. It’s meant to be telling me something 😆 #firstdraft #crimenovel #amwriting

Writing today I find myself tempted by the idea of a split timeline…I’ve done one before, in #thewomanwithnoname but my saner self is screaming “Don’t do it! Stay away!”

COFFIN COLLARS like this one were used to thwart bodysnatchers in the early 19th century. The collar was fixed around the neck of a corpse and bolted to the bottom of a coffin, making it nearly impossible to remove the body from its grave. Bodysnatchers sold corpses to medical schools.

We went for a walk and it was prettttttyyyy

Probably can’t tell yet, but these are thistles. Chose this pattern because I wrote a book set in Scotland. It took two years to research, write and publish The Specimen—but I’m worried it will take me longer than that to knit this baby 🙈

Dudley Green stood in front of the driver in the Vancouver attack, and protected him from an angry, distraught crowd. “He needs to die,” one of the men said. 
“I don’t disagree,” Mr. Green told him. “But now is not the time.” www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/7232de0...

I’m a finalist for Best Novel 2025 in the Crime Wirters Canada awards! Can hardly believe it! Congrats to the other finalists and thank you @crimewriterscanada.bsky.social @louisepennyauthor.bsky.social @colinbarrett.bsky.social @conorkerr.bsky.social John MacLachlan Gray

Spotted on the Staff Picks shelf at Cafe Books in Canmore ☺️

Nothing like writing a first draft. Exciting, awful, energizing and scary. 😆😱🙈 Who else keeps project notebooks?

Got this photo from a friend today. Love seeing my book travel. Wish I was poolside with a Diet Coke today! 😆

I’m printing this and pinning it over my desk. Because it’s funny *and* inspiring. So next time I’m asked to that one extra thing…no. Secret reasons.

Finished revising today! What should I read during my break? #bookrecommendations #tbr

I am not a politician, political pundit, journalist, or professional activist. These are my thoughts on the current state of affairs as an American living abroad...

It’s us!

Snowing outside, while I’m inside reading a new book from one of my favorite authors. A moment of perfect happiness. 😁 What are you reading this weekend?

👇It truly does!

Minutes to rope drop on the Currie 500. Nothing beats a powder day. #livetoski

Just a bunch of Canadians doing Canadian things 🇨🇦

This is a friendly reminder that library cards are free, and your local public library will never make you pay extra so you don't have to watch ads.

This is my beautiful local library. I love setting up one of those window tables to write with the view of the trees. (And now the book I worked on is here in the collection. Yes, I did sign it out) #eplcapilanobranch #librarylove

Latest contribution from my husband to the family thread. Trying to scare the kids into behaving, I think 😆

I just found out Recorded Books is celebrating the birthday of my book with a 70% off deal! Sale price is until April 2 😆. Happy listening! bit.ly/3FzDDic

My daughter recognized me with a donation to @unfpa.bsky.social for international women’s day. I am so proud to know her. She is one incredible person. I’m donating too today 🥹❤️ www.unfpa.org
