My Books

Books. Just the word sets my imagination on fire. What country, new land or world will I visit? What new friends and annoying antagonists will I meet? What obstacle will the hero/heroine face? And then my imagination sparks my creativity. Where should the story be set? Will I have a hero or a heroine? What challenge will he/she run up against? What if…

I’m pleased to announce that I am one of the contributors to A Second Cup of Hot Apple Cider. This is the first time that my words have nestled between the covers of a book. Hopefully, it will be the first of many.

A Second Cup of Hot Apple Cider: words to stimulate the mind and delight the spirit

Between the covers of this book, the stories of 37 contributors await readers – real stories of real life by real people.

All contributors are members of The Word Guild.

The book will be launched all across Canada beginning May 1st. Appearances by contributors will be posted on the Canadian Christian Writers site and the Hot Apple Cider site. Check it out to find out how you can attend a reading or a book signing. We’d love to meet you. Join us on Facebook.

Here’s what a couple of early readers have said:

“A soul-stirring spiritual refill of this beloved modern classic! Don’t be mistaken—these aren’t frothy tales boasting syrupy platitudes: these homegrown stories capture both the grit and inspiring reality of Canadians who live out their faith, seeing God at work in their lives and the world around them.”
Michelle Nagle, Executive Director, Women Alive

“With moments of humour, struggle, romance, courage, heartache, and ultimately hope, A Second Cup of Hot Apple Cider is rich with buoyant prose and wondrous poetry… From slices of real life to flights of fancy, this cup runneth over with chapter after chapter of great reading.”
Martin Smith, President, GMA Canada
