On the topic of my favourite book that I've written: Cold Query: #1 It's the book that got me a literary agent and a publisher. #2 It's about writers and what they will do to get their books published. #3 It's set in Port Ripley, a fictional town based on Goderich, my favourite lake community.

Procrastinating, as usual. But I will get to my next edits on my WIP now that I have some direction thanks to my husband, my critique partner, and a couple of author friends. Tomorrow. On the weekend. Next week. Soon. It's hard to pinpoint the murderer because No One's Innocent.
