Time alone in nature inspires me. Reading an amazing book inspires me. And emotional turmoil, I hate to say, can be very productive.

I'm not writing at the moment. Amazing. I am promoting my newest novel, The Three Sisters Bar and Hotel, and wondering what comes next.

I wrote this book because I’ve long been fascinated by characters around Banff. A century ago it was flooded with runaway aristocrats, wildlife artists, coal miners, remittance men, Quakers, cowboys and women escaping the parlor. They worked with the native people, made trails, maps, a town, and made history – but they didn’t make it into the history books. To me it was a novel begging to be written.
