DJ – We moved from Edmonton, which was a wonderful city for careers and rasing children (but such long cold winters!) to Vancouver Island five years ago and love it. The weather is soft and mild and never really too hot, although the winters can have some terrible winds and lots of rain. A big bonus is the views of the ocean and mountains from my desk. How cool is that? A little Canadian humor for you. Question: How do you define an Albertan? Answer: Someone who was born in Saskatchewan and retires to BC. That’s me!

What an amazing life journey you’ve had, Darlene. Love the premise of you book! Happy launch day! 🙂 x
What a wonderful interview both – thank you! So interesting and informative. I will definitely be checking out Embattled as hubby loves sci-fi! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by to wish Darlene luck on her launch!
Great interview, Patricia, and nice to know a bit more about you Darlene. I’m always amazed at the things I don’t know about people I speak to regularly on the internet.
It’s great fun to learn more about each other and the incredibly varied experiences we all have had.
Great interview, Patricia. Wishing you great sales on your new book, Darlene! I think I’ll check out Guayabitos and Vancouver island…always looking for a new vacation spot.
Thanks for stopping by, Marcia. I can vouch for Vancouver Island being a great place to visit!
Congratulations, Darlene. I wish you lots of success with the first book of your “Em” series. “Embattled” is a great read.
Great interview! Wishing you fantastic success with Embattled, Darlene. I’m quite envious of you being in Mexico – one place I have never been but would love to one day.

Thanks for stopping by, Janice. Darlene’s Mexican village does sound inviting!
Congratulations, Darlene! Much success to you. Enjoyed this interview very much and your book sounds intriguing!
Thanks for stopping by, Bonnie.
I love this! Darlene sounds like a lovely woman and full of fun. A sci/fi book with magic? I’m in. Thanks for such a wonderful interview, Patricia.
I think we are all envious that Darlene is able to enjoy sunshine at the moment (laugh)! Such an interesting lady too, and that reflects in what isn’t just a story, but cleverly encompasses social issues that are real to so many people around the world.
Great interview. What a very interesting lady. I often think the endings of a book should be unpredictable from the writer’s point of view – it gives much cause for a sequel.

Fabulous interview with a fascinating lady who’s written a totally intriguing book! I can’t wait to get stuck in, you’ve thoroughly piqued my interest. Thanks to Patricia for bringing us Darlene today, and congrats to Darlene on your book launch: best of luck and all good wishes!!! x
