I think Wildhorse Jack would be chuffed to discover his story has been on the bestselling books list in Calgary for another week! I know I am, so thank you, everyone who has purchased a copy!

And that means readers. And readers are the reason I write books!!

When a news item or someone’s anecdote gets you excited, you start thinking of how you could create a plot around the idea, who would be the main characters and oh, how you can get them into trouble!
When you’re not writing, you are thinking about writing.
When you get a hollow, empty feeling when you imagine never writing another book or story or poem.
