Today, I'm the featured writer in Joan Dempsey's Gutsy Great Novelist Writers Studio. Here's my response to the question: When did you first realize you wanted to write a novel? Was there a particular person or experience that inspired you?

​My younger sisters' bedroom adjoined mine, with nightly consequences. I invented a communication code and taped it to the back walls of our side-by side closets. Long after we were supposed to be asleep, I'd go into the closet and communicate with them through a series of special knocks. Taking two flashlights, I crawled into the dark hallway and shone lights on the back wall of their bedroom. The wild, invented stories began. Often, they were inspired by a children's novel I'd just read. It was important to keep this a secret from our parents, who'd ruin all the fun if they knew!

Knock, knock. Time for a story.

Happy Easter - The Promise of Spring

My young Japanese friend, Kento, just posted some wonderful photos of his family enjoying the Cherry Blossom Festival in Japan.  It was lovely to see another family, on the other side of our incredible planet, enjoying the beauty of nature in the spring. 

Here, in Southern Ontario, spring is still a much anticipated promise.  My gardens are frozen, but tiny snow drops and a few crocus have popped their heads up.  This photo was taken in May, last year, on my front lawn.  We planted this flowering crab tree two years previously, and held our breath, praying for it to live and flourish. 

It was magnificent.  The flowers only last for a week or so, and then they disappear.  But Spring promises renewal, and we have the hope and memories of the abundant life of the past.  Enjoy Easter and the promise of Spring - the cycle of life.
