In 2005 I made the most difficult decision of my life in deciding to end my marriage.
The result is a non-fiction book written from the heart. "The Great Escape; A Girl's Guide to Leaving a Marriage" covers various divorce topics. Social changes to expect, co-parenting, budgeting and tips for hiring a lawyer are all included.

My passion for writing began during my divorce and has blossomed into more creative pursuit without losing that drive to help others. "Hearts Unbroken-short stories", is my first published work of fiction. "Daughter of the Moon" is my debut novel, published in 2024.

I reside in Vancouver, British Columbia. I was featured in "B.C. Book World News" as an Indie author to watch. Yoga, painting, and art journaling are my favor

Each anecdote begins with a lie and ends with a truth. It's been really fun to add memories of life events and experiences. You don't realize how funny and odd your own life is until you sit down to make fun of it.

This is typical Elizabeth Berg novel; full of nuanced endearments. I think this might be one of her best. While it's quite simply written it is highly moving.

The opening is an introduction to the main character, Florence Greene, by way of a letter wr

Lisa Thomson is starting The Secret History: Halfway through and it's getting a bit saggy and uninteresting. It started so strong but seems to have lost its mystery (for me). Anyone else find there to be a saggy middle in this novel?

Lisa Thomson I spent the afternoon with Mr. and Mrs. Hemingway and the Bulls in Spain, not to mention all their famous gang with many antics. Yes, I'm reading The Paris Wife and thoroughly enjoying it :)
