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

Starting from the beginning again today, with a fresh read of this manuscript. Not sure how many times this will be but so far it hasn’t been enough. 😆 Hoping the changes I made in the last pass are sitting well.

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

Why should you switch to Libro.fm for audiobooks? ➡️ We share profits with indie bookshops ➡️ Booksellers drive our recs, not algorithms ➡️ You actually own your audiobooks ➡️ We are real people, not bots ➡️ Reader requests drive our tech updates ➡️ We're an employee-owned, Social Purpose Corporation

This February, we saw a 275% increase in new Libro.fm memberships compared to February 2024. More and more individuals are choosing to support their independent bookshop—and their local communities—over Amazon/Audible. Thank you for supporting your indie with us ❤️

Bruno has the right idea today. I need a big stretch too.

Mood boards to help me slide into the next phase of editing. Going for a Nancy Drew but for grown-ups vibe.

I asked Cathleen McCarron, the award winning voice actor who performed my book, what it is like to prepare a project. #accents #audiobooks #gothicthriller @recordedbooks.bsky.social

For #ValentinesDay, I'll be posting #HistoricalHearts Let's start with this life-size papier-mâché heart by the French anatomist Louis Thomas Jérôme Auzoux from the 19th century. Photo: Alex Peck.

Who else writes in the car? Editing the third Nora Brady book today!

We're a registered Social Purpose Corporation, but what does that mean? We pursue social goals, even if those goals conflict with our financial interests. This is because we deeply care about supporting indie bookshops & local communities. We hope you'll join us for your audiobook listening ❤️

Here’s a dose of winter joy for you 🤍❄️🇨🇦 Skating at Lake Minnewanka in Banff National Park

Okay, okay! I’m going back to that word doc! 🙈

This is what the GOP wants, and they want to keep you down. Stay strong. Rest when you need it. We won’t give in to these fascists, bigots, and racists. Too many loved ones depend on us.

Just finished the last of the Heinz ketchup. Buckle up.

With science falling under increasing attack, this medical historian is here to remind people of the power of #vaccines. THREAD🧵 Hard-hitting polio advert from 1958. In the first half of the 20th century, polio was the leading cause of death in children and young adults. 1/7

Many new friends here (thanks @maggietokudahall.bsky.social ❤️) so here's an intro! We are an alternative to Amazon-owned Audible that shares all profits with indie bookshops across the globe. Plus: ❤️Employee-owned Social Purpose Corporation 🚫Booksellers drive our recommendations—not algos!

I just wrote a scene I’m very happy with. Now, instead of turning to editing the other project requiring my attention can I just read manga for an hour and call that self care?

Thanks for all the kind messages after yesterday's wobble. 💙 The “Heart Book” from c.1550 is a collection of 83 Danish love ballads collected at the court of King Christian III. It's the oldest known Danish manuscript of its kind, and an early example of the heart signifying romantic love.

We’re starting the year off right in my newsletter group with a giveaway of six signed copies for you and your book club (or you know…whoever you like well enough to share with). This is an exclusive giveaway so you must be a subscriber to enter (so sign up already😆—there’s a link in my bio )

Playing with Canva…should be writing…maybe I will make one for the WIP now. It has gothic vibes and a strong female lead to. No ghosts though 😆
