Today is National Donut (or Doughnut) Day in the USA, which I think is pretty cool. Not because America has a national day for doughy round dietary disasters, but the reason for the day is interesting. Of course, there’s history attached to it. D’uh. The Salvation Army actually founded National Donut Day in 1938 to […]

A week ago, I wrote a post about World Whisky Day. My father-in-law, who is a Glenfiddich aficionado, and who also likes Canadian Rye, demanded to know why I didn’t inform him of the event so he could properly mark the occasion. I also got a lesson on how Canadian Rye is made. Research for
Llike countless others, I have to toss my hat into the GDPR ring, too. I’m sure you’re totally sick of these notices and re-opt-ins and yaddah-yaddah-yaddah-blah-blah-blah. However, it’s part of the new regulation that you be informed of the new standards of privacy and any changes to those practices in the future. This is the
Yeah. Me, too. Sorry. Read More »
It’s so appropriate I get to talk about this book today. Today is Victoria Day in Canada. Season of Denial is a Victorian era historical romance. It is book 7 of the Scandalous Scions series, and this is the first time the cover is being shown to anyone (except my Street Team!). ___________ He’s a
To celebrate the Royal Wedding, Kobo are running a special sale featuring any book with royalty in it — kings, queens, princes, princesses and more. They’ve picked up my Born of No Man novel, the first book in the Once and Future Hearts series. As it’s set slightly before the time of King Arthur, there are

Today is World Whisky Day, which is an excellent excuse to sip drop or two. A Hot Toddy, by the way, is hot whisky with honey in it — a purely medicinal version of the liquor, I’m assured! Whisky was invented by the Scots, and if it is produced in Scotland, it becomes scotch. There are
Time to sip a toddy or two! Read More »
I love and adore the King Arthur mythology, and have since I was quite young. So it is a thrill to sink into the stories and recreate the tale my way — in this case, via twelve romances. Why twelve books? Arthur fought twelve battles, culminating in the Battle of Badon Hill, before Britain was free

I think this is the first year I have been blogging frequently enough to be able to do May the Fourth Be With You and Revenge of the Fifth on the next day, too. My geeky heart is all aflutter! Today is the Revenge of the Fifth Day, just in case you missed the news. I

Every year I write about May the Fourth, and every year, it seems, I explain why I cannot ignore the day. So this year, I won’t. 🙂 Instead, I’m bringing forward the most interesting post from previous years. You can also find other May the Fourth posts here and here. Have an interstellar day! t.

No, I’m not referring to bedroom games. Really! In the continuing series on things we don’t have to do anymore, providing medical care for our families is on that list. I remember reading Little Women by Louisa M. Alcott when I was very young. I was too young to appreciate the setting and time period, so
