Sarah's here, safe and sound!

Look who showed up on my doorstep today, times ten! Sarah! Oh how I love the look of a book with my name on it. And it really is a pretty cover, in fact my editor tells me that Jade Magazine considers it the best cover this year. Squee!

I've never squeed before. I like it. I think I'll do it again. Squeeeeeeee!

Sarah's Education hits the bookshelves, virtual and otherwise, July 2 in the UK. Pre-order now, right here.

I'm off to leaf through the novel now. Unlike Felix, who looks at the front and back covers of his latest novel and then tucks it away in our 'Our Books' drawer, I just have to at least thumb through the thing. Can't help myself. Don't want to.

I truly enjoyed writing this book. I hope it sells well and gets great reviews and someday earns me some royalties. But even if it doesn't - I really enjoyed writing this book.

My Trip, by Madeline Moore

What a beautiful beach, don't you think? Felix and I went to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. Yes, I know it's hot where I live, now, but it wasn't when we booked our initial getaway. Then I got sick, yada yada, so we went to the Dominican Republic for a week.



The weather was perfect, the music was marvelous, the people were terrific, the food was good, and the air conditioning worked beautifully.

I'm happy to be home.

WE HAVE A WINNER!

I'm back from being stroked by the Caribbean sun. It was mahvelous, Dahlings.

Going Going Gone

We booked a last minute getaway to Cuba, departing at the end of March. Less than twenty four hours after the booking was made, I was rushed to Emergency. I was admitted and a few days later, had surgery. I was still in the hospital on the day we were scheduled to depart.

So - once again Felix and I are gearing up for a getaway. Yes, it's a little late in the season to hit the Caribbean but so what? Once we get there, will it matter that everyone at home isn't shovelling snow? I don't think so!

Today, my Dad and little bro arrive from Winnipeg. They're driving out my Dad's 1994 Buick, as he's just upgraded to a snazzy red 2008 coupe. Dad's 84 and he's decided to live the good life. So I get the old car.

We prairie people routinely drive long distances. Life without wheels has been a challenge for me and I'm looking forward to getting behind the wheel again. Thanks Dad! Thanks Al!

I'll take possession of my car, entertain the boys, finish a short story and START PACKING.

Felix and I have never taken a vacation together. What will it be like, I wonder?
Sexy? Or sweet? Relaxing? Or vigorous? Wild? Or peaceful?

I can't wait to find out.
