My new novel Legal Obstruction is now available in paperback. Click on the book cover to find it.

“When Emily Drury takes a job as legal counsel for an import-export company, she doesn’t make the decision lightly. She needs to get away to someplace safe.

Joe Tanner counts himself lucky. He’s charmed a successful big city lawyer into heading up the legal department of his rapidly expanding business.

But why would a beautiful woman who could easily make partner in the high profile company where she worked, give it all up to come to a place like Bonnie? A mystery surrounds her arrival that wraps them both in ever tightening tentacles. As Joe realizes she has become essential to his happiness, his first reaction is to protect her. But he doesn’t know the whole story.

Can Emily trust him enough to divulge her secret? Will he learn what he needs to know in time to stop the avalanche that’s gaining speed as it races down the hill toward her?”

Digging Dahlias

This week I have been digging up my dahlias, cutting the stems off, washing the tubers and tying tags on them so I know what kind it is, what colour, how tall it will grow. It’s a big job. I have discovered (through trial and error) that a lot of plants I am used to growing in my garden won’t thrive here. Roses for instance – they die within a couple of years. I used to grow a lot of roses but not anymore.

When I first began growing dahlias I was told that I would have to dig them up in the fall, store them over the winter and plant them again in the spring. Being of a somewhat stubborn nature, I decided not to do that. No plant was worth that much work.

Then they all died, one by one. It is too wet and cold in my garden for them to last more than a year or two. Resignedly I realized I would have to do the work. The result? A beautiful garden that blooms from mid July to the end of October.

Don’t you think it’s a bit like writing? If you think you can get by with the shortcuts – such as no plot, quick edits, ignoring the learning curve ­ you can end up with a book that doesn’t flourish. But if you pay attention to the detail, provide what is needed, do the work, you’ll end up with a good piece of writing. I think it’s worth the effort

COVER RELEASE – coming soon

When Emily Drury takes a job as legal counsel for an import-export company in another town, she doesn’t make the decision because she wants to leave the big city where she works but because she thought she might be safer in a place far away from where she started out. Perhaps no one will follow her.

Joe Tanner is looking for a lawyer to assume an executive position with his rapidly expanding company, but why is this beautiful young woman interested in the job when she could stay and become partner at the law firm where she works? When she arrives, a mystery travels with her, wrapping tentacles around them both.

Joe’s first reaction is to protect her, but he doesn’t know the whole story or who he might be protecting her from. Can Emily trust him enough to divulge her secret, and will he learn what he needs to know in time to stop the avalanche that’s gaining speed as it races down the hill toward them both?
