Journey to Imagination

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA — Bird of Paradise bushes in California remind me of creatures on the alert for predators.

My retreat characters dress in constumes

Birds of Paradise grow wild in California.

California oranges are delightful!

Author Helen Henderson features To Catch a Fox on her blog titled Journey to the Stars and Worlds of Imagination. While my novel isn’t as fantastical as Helen’s writing, my primary setting for To Catch a Fox is a locale I imagined somewhere in southern California. I had a lot of fun creating my cult-like retreat.

Thanks Janet

Conference room – Panel on Publishing Options

I enjoyed my weekend trip to Wordbridge, Lethbridge’s inaugural writers’ conference. Eighty-five people attended, a good turnout for a new event held in a small city. I met a few new people, spent time with others I’d met before, and found I liked the intimate atmosphere of the conference. Congratulations to all the organizers. Cheer’s to a second conference next year – in warmer weather!
