Copy Edits Done
Just finishing the first round of copy edits for Avelynn2! So… close. 😉
Babes Shop Brock
I was fortunate enough to visit Blue Heron Books in Uxbridge, Ontario this past Thursday, June 23rd for their annual event Babes Shop Brock. What a hoot that was! I signed copies with my amazing Viking guests and chatted with all the wonderful shoppers strolling along Brock St. If you haven’t had a chance to …
Happy Weekend

Viking Scissors
Did #Vikings have scissors? Why, yes. Yes, they did. An excerpt from #Avelynn2 “Tell me what to do.” Angharad surveyed the room. I pulled out the vellum and, using a pair of scissors, cut two small sections away. I handed her one, kept the other piece, and placed the rest back in my satchel. My …

Hoary Tales
I feel naked without my online Oxford English Dictionary, but at $19.99US a month, I had to let it go. That leaves me with relying on free internet resources when searching the etymology of words. I still use my beautiful, hoary glue-bound 1977 copy of The Living Webster for my definitions, but the OED was …
