This delightful shop at 56 Main Street South in 
Georgetown, Ontario, also has an adult fiction section in which The Bridge Club can be found. I’m delighted to have a presence in this community in Halton County where I lived with my family for 14 years and where my sons attended the local schools. The welcoming owner and helpful staff fill the space with warm energy and seem to know which book is the right one for you. A very thoughtful and informative blog has been posted on the Freckled Lion’s website about their upcoming move and the difficulties small book stores face these days. Please read it and offer your support.

Time … as they say … flies
So much for my good intentions in keeping up with the blog! I’ve had so much to write about I kept procrastinating. Now the list is way too long to blather on about so I’ll simply record the highlights:
– Amy, the bright and energetic young lady who helps me with social media (thank goodness!), and I are working on adding some new links here and on my website. We have set up a PayPal link and signed copies of The Bridge Club can now be ordered directly from me. Progress!
– I had the pleasure of meeting the effervescent Micki Moore at a dinner party before Christmas. Some of her time now is spent in media coaching and last week we spent two hours in a recording studio as she nudged and pushed me through improvisations to become more aware and effective during interview opportunities. Priceless, really, and she’s so good.Here’s her website
– At the Writers and Editors Network Breakfast meeting last Saturday, the snowstorm didn’t deter a good crowd from turning up to hear Michael Mirolla, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of Guernica Editions, speak on assorted topics.
– Along with finding time to write, to research, to continue to navigate through social media, oh yes – and have a personal life, I also finally picked up the new Mac my husband gave me for Christmas which meant a few trips to the Apple store to sort out some “issues”.
– As you can see, we’re experimenting with the look of this site. Comments are always appreciated. A young lady at Author House did a fine job of pasting artwork from my book cover here and I’ve managed to mess it up within 24 hours!

‘Tis the season
Never mind, it’s winter and the holiday season is in full swing. Tomorrow morning I’m joining forty members of Positive Fabulous Women bringing gifts to the Chris & Steven Show to support WomenAide. Read about this Toronto not-for-profit organization committed to assisting women in crisis and their children.

Back to Toronto
The past month in Florida has been fantastic starting with the Miami Book Fair, moving along to the wonderful evening with the Venetian Arts Society, and including meeting so many great new people. Thank you to everyone who has added their enthusiasm, talents, and support to the ongoing success of The Bridge Club. In the midst of packing to go home to Toronto for the holidays, this will be a short post. I have photos and video to edit and add later on.
The very best part of this time down here has been having readers come to speak to me about the story I have told in The Bridge Club and end up sharing some of their own stories. There’s nothing better!
