Deadly Burden: A Green Dory Inn mystery book 4
This is the first book I have read by Janet Sketchley. I enjoyed the setting as I like to read mystery books with Canadian locations, especially such famous ones as Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. The actual setting of Christmas made it an ideal read for this time of year. The cover evokes the tragedy that unfolded in the death of the local gossip in a hut in the woods. This is the first book in a…

Book Report: Seven Fallen Feathers: Racism, death and hard truths in a Northern city by Tanya Talaga
This book is well written but difficult to read. The subject is emotional, and political and cultural all at the same time. It makes the “white man” think. It gives respect and validation to the Indigenous people who are destroyed culturally but the inherent racism in Canadian society. The book starts off with a history of the founding of Canada and of the twin cities of Port Arthur and Fort…

Nancy Steele From Stumbling Blocks to Stepping Stones Interview Questions: How did you choose the title? Choosing a title was a challenge. I had several titles I thought were “the one” before I remembered that one of the reasons God had me write this book was to tell others how He had helped me overcome the obstacles I faced during the toughest years of my journey. Once I held onto the…

Confessions of a golf widow Roanoke – acknowledging the participation of the hardy folk.
On Tuesday June 14, 2022 I played with my usual group of ladies: Esther Gaudet and Colette Taylor, who play with me because we are friends in from other connections, not golf skills. Ladies night was a day late due to the weather. The Tuesday event was a special concession to the bad weather as the last two Monday Ladies night events had been rained or drowned out! On the Tuesday we still…

Catherine Grove: author interview
I enjoyed reading these books as I always enjoyed the regency romances. This series is a twist on that as it is set in Upper Canada during the War of 1812 and the Regency period in England. The setting also made me homesick for my country of birth.
1. When did you first publish your writing in book form? :-> My first book, Never Forget, was published in 2019. Never Far, its stand-alone sequel, was published in 2020. Background: My Publisher, recommended I make a logical break in the story, subdividing the book into a series. More marketable is a book series by a new author, than a large book. 2. Is your third book a continuation of this…
