Where have all the birdies gone, Long time ago...
Where have all the birdies gone,
Long time ago...
I live in the heart of the south end of the boreal forest, and this year in particular, I was dismayed by the lack of birds. Twenty years ago, I was woken up starting at 3 am, with the first glimmer of light, by robins, then immediately after such a loud chorus of a million bird's voices. This after a whole night of whippoorwill's calls and frogs calls. But I loved it all. Over the years there has been less and less, and this year it is so quiet.
Have we lost the birds or have they moved farther north because the climate has changed?

Research
It's been a while since I wrote a blog or participated in Goodreads. My excuse is I'm immersed in research for my next book set in occupied France during WII. It's heavy going and requires all my attention.
But I'm getting to the bottom of a long list of books and documents.

Romance by the Slice
By the Slice because it takes place in a pizza parlor.
After witnessing a car accident and reading about the fatalities in many other accident reports due to drunk drivers who walked away unharmed, I wondered how can those drivers live with themselves afterwards.
This is how my Piers character was born. He finds redemption in work, helped by the love of a good woman, away from his privileged background.
I hope you enjoy Romance by the Slice.

The Inuit Dog of the Polar North
Book is on schedule with a new title - but it is still the third edition of The Inuit Dog: Canada's Heritage.
So far it looks like it will be on the shelves in the first week of October.

Just starting here
I’d love to be able to talk to fellows readers but the sun and the snow lured me to the dog pens. My Inuit sled dogs are excited, what if it is minus 20 degrees Celsius (0 F), they don’t care. They have a thick fur coat. Our sledding trails start right in the yard. I couldn’t resist took a team out. Now I have to put my head down and write or that next novel will never see the light of day.
My next romance novel On the Edge is set in the world of dance and hockey. It is a long road for my protagonists to learn about the other’s world. A departure from the romance novel, Northern Lights and Sled Dogs, I have uploaded to Kindle (previously published by Kensington Publishing), which is all about sled dog racing.
How does a ballerina become a dog musher? I’ll tell you in my next blog.
