Today, I'm the featured writer in Joan Dempsey's Gutsy Great Novelist Writers Studio. Here's my response to the question: When did you first realize you wanted to write a novel? Was there a particular person or experience that inspired you?

​My younger sisters' bedroom adjoined mine, with nightly consequences. I invented a communication code and taped it to the back walls of our side-by side closets. Long after we were supposed to be asleep, I'd go into the closet and communicate with them through a series of special knocks. Taking two flashlights, I crawled into the dark hallway and shone lights on the back wall of their bedroom. The wild, invented stories began. Often, they were inspired by a children's novel I'd just read. It was important to keep this a secret from our parents, who'd ruin all the fun if they knew!

Knock, knock. Time for a story.

Eclipse Anyone?

Did you see today's total eclipse?  Here in my hometown of Niagara-on-the-Lake, we only received about a 70% eclipse.  I did venture outside during the active period, and although it did not get dark here, there was certainly a great change to the quality of the light.  It wasn't the same experience of sky as a cloudy day...somehow the light felt dimmed - reduced in a strange way.  On Sunday morning I was on the road early, and watched the sun rise from my car.  We often admire the sunset, but few people make the effort to rise early enough to see the sun come up.  It is a unique and beautiful experience.  On Sunday morning the sun turned a brilliant red as it sat just above the morning sunrise.  As it lifted, it returned to gold.  I'll get up early and watch it again.
