This year has been a slow writing and publishing year for me. Life has been super busy and changing in big ways, so writing kind of took back stage to everything else.

But I don’t want that to continue to be the case because I have so many stories to tell and limited time to tell them. I’m not getting any younger and with the loss of my dad, that knowledge really hit home.

But with that knowledge hitting home, it also made me realize how precious time is with your loved ones and it’s...

Starting Over…

When I was 41, my husband left me. Over time, he wanted to come back, but I refused to let him return home, unless he got help with his addictions and anger. But I should have acknowledged by that point that my marriage was over and had been for a long time. We’d been married for 21 years, but it wasn’t going well. He had gotten into some stuff that wasn’t good or safe for myself or the kids. Three years passed and soon it was 2022, and I got the fateful call. The stuff he had ...

What do you want to be when you grow up?

How many times did you hear this question when you were growing up? I bet it was more times than one could possibly count. This question often comes up again in a round about way when you hit mid-life, but this time, instead of everyone else asking you, you are asking yourself.

You look back on your life and re-evaluate all your decisions. Are you following your dreams? Are you where you thought you’d be by this point in your life? You hear pe...

If I may use a famous quote: I no like it!

I roll over and my shoulder blade goes, nope. I walk up the stairs and my knee is like, nope. Hip. Same thing. Why do we have to get old. Why can’t we stay young and vibrant forever?

Today we walked ten kilometers around Barnston Island in Surrey. The island was an interesting place to walk around. Big farms. Cute houses, but also dilapidated houses.

As we walked around, out bodies decided to say nope, not today; yet, we still had...

As you know, multiple stories of mine were removed from publication due to my publisher changing from a publishing company to an asset holding company. As they weren’t going to be publishing any future stories, I decided to take mine back so I could do more with those worlds. And I am.

I just re-released “Her Lover’s Face” for pre-order. It will officially drop on March 15th, 2024, so not much longer to go now.

Her Lover’s Face Blurb:

“Laryssa Mitchell is one of the lucky ones. The ...

Hey all,

I’m happy to announce that Beneath His Hands, Book Two in the Psychological Thriller and Romance Duology, is now available for download on Amazon. I wanted to do a rapid release so that both books were available as soon as possible.

I’ve been asked whether there will be a paperback version of this duology, but I haven’t wanted to say much until now because of some complications that arose over the last month; however, I’m happy to announce that I am working on the paperback copy ...

Two stories born out of one idea. One is as dark as dark can be, and the other is about learning to love and trust others when no one has ever given you reason to before. Both are about finding strength to keep going when all the odds seem to be against you. And all the odds are against them as you will come to find out when you read both “Her Prison, His Game” and “Beneath His Hands.”

Her Prison His Game – Book One Blurb:

“In the middle of a forest, in an unknown location, is a gam...

I’ve had this book on my shelf since the year it came out. I hadn’t read it due to having a concussion following a few car accidents that made reading difficult. Today, though, I decided to spend some time reading and let me tell you something, this book is riveting and spellbinding.

I’m about a quarter of the way through it, and it just keeps propelling me to read more. The story starts with a young woman wanting to avenge the death of her sister, and then it morphs into so much more....

It’s been a long time coming and many years in the making, but it is time and it is finally here. The pre-order link will be available shortly.

Welcome to my Psychological thriller and romance diology, Her Prison, His Game:

Blurb:

In the middle of a forest, in an unknown location, is a game. A psychological game designed to play with the mind until it breaks.

The man responsible wants fresh meat. Someone who hasn’t experienced the horrors of the real world. He wants to see how long i...

Seems selfish doesn’t it? Investing in oneself as opposed to other people. Isn’t happiness found most in when you serve others? That is true on one hand, but to truly be happy, one must be happy with who they are too.

So often we live for other people that we forget to take care of ourselves, and we invest so much in others that we forget that we are important to. This is something that all mothers will relate to. When we have kids, lives become about the kids. Keeping them safe and happy, an...
