So it’s been a few days since I made the announcement regarding my book deal with HarperCollins Canada for Nowhere Wild. For about an hour after I posted that original blog entry, I had the shakes.

If you like historical fiction, this book is a must read. If you look really closely at the back cover, (double-click to enlarge) you’ll see a familiar name. It’s my first appearance in a book like this, and I have… Read More
