Yes, it certainly does. As much as my career has influenced my work, I think where I grew up has more impact. It seems everything I write has to have an element of the prairie, or critters -- reflecting my farming/ranching upbringing, and the animals around me.
I've only been working on manuscripts, etc. since 2019, shortly after my husband died.

Yes! I have a 20 on the 20 spot on Thursday at 1:40-2:00. No panels, though. I'll also be at the Crime Writers of Canada table from 9-10:30 on Saturday, and will (for sure) be at the Trivia and Pub Night co-sponsored by the CWC and Sisters in Crime. How about you?

The second in the Janice Maidstone Mystery Series, "What Love Made Us Do" is coming out in September. In the meantime, I'm finishing up the edits and prepping both a revision of "Under the Ombu Tree" and a sequel to it, for (self) publication this fall. I'd sure like to do some writing, but finding the time is proving problematic.

I'm now editing book two of a women's series based in Argentina (and Scotland). Both books one and two will be released later this year.
I have prairie dust and horse hair in my blood, and writing my protagonist's growing love of the pampas in Argentina was the best thing about writing her story.
When I picture the setting, I think of it as another character in the book, and hope I can someday do it as well as Jane Harper does in "The Dry" with the Australian outback.

Believe it or not, I got the idea for my current project from my 14 year old niece! When she was ten, she wrote a little story and gave it to me as a Christmas present.
I combined the setting for her book with the visuals of the amazing Antelope Canyon in Arizona), and came up with a story that's a little bit fantasy, a little bit history, and a little bit romance. translated it into a book that defies traditional genre classifications. It's a bit of fantasy, a bit of romance and a bit of history.
I'm at the editing stage now, but hope to have it published in early 2021.
