We’re in the worst wildfire season in Alberta’s history, but there’s a lot of other life stuff happening too. Thankfully, most of it’s good.

I felt slower than usual this week, but still ended up with some cool things for my readers and knitting customers. And I got to be social, too.

A quick update about my progress this week. Let’s have a cuppa…

Quick update on The Sphinx’s Heart revisions.

After many moons of silence, I recap why it’s been so quiet here for the last six months: my journey through burnout.

After almost a decade, we have finally moved a permanent home to our property. It’s been a haul to get it here, literally, and 2020 hasn’t made it easier. But we’ve moving ahead and will soon be moving in. Here’s the story.

Between my son leaving for college, buying a new house, shifts in careers, and some difficult health-related news, it’s been a challenging few months. But I’m holding on to gratitude. Here’s what’s been going on.

A very cool multi-author book promo for speculative fiction lovers, plus a brief personal update.

Another personal update written to the company of Doctor Who. In general this new is becoming normal. Plus a strange thing to be thankful for right now.

The full story of my tour through the ditch, plus a few other quick updates on the state of things around here.

Updates on my brain state, what I’ve been up to with writing, knitting, and more, Patreon, author life, and a giveaway for my readers.

It’s been a strange week. And by “strange,” I mean it was like there were an extra six really-high highs and kinda-sucky lows stuffed into it without much of a breather between one or the other. So, for posterity, here are the highlights, and a moment to be grateful, too.

Today, I had a break from writing. So it was kind of a look-at-life-through-the-lens sort of day. Here are a few things my camera and I saw. Also, I was so honoured to be featured on Mary DeMuth's podcast the Restory Show.

It's been quiet on stage here at Winters' Day In.

But so, so far from quiet backstage.
