A blessing for you 🙏

May you know God’s sustaining Presence with you in 2025, however the circumstances of this year unfold. His love never changes, His promises never fail, and He hasn’t dropped any of us yet! (Although we may doubt that at times… and He understands that too.)

What's Going On?

I’m back at work, discovering how the different threads of the next Green Dory Inn mystery weave together, and hoping to soon start the writing. This story takes place in February, so it’s a good time for me to begin. 

Have you enjoyed some good reads lately? One mystery series I like (and just finished over the holidays) is the Maple Syrup Mysteries by fellow Canadian Emily James. 

I’d encourage anyone new to the series to start at the beginning and follow the characters and their relationships. Here’s my review of the prequel, Sapped, to give you a feel for how it starts: Review: Sapped. You can get the ebook version of the prequel free at the author’s website by signing up for her newsletter. Here’s the link: authoremilyjames.com/book/sapped. 

Emily James is also the author of the Cupcake Truck Mysteries and the Cat and Mouse Whodunits. There’s at least one other author with the same name, so it’s best to visit her website at authoremilyjames.com.

Wherever this finds you, thank you for opening my email and I wish you a lovely week with some time for a good book. 

Until next time,
