I have an overwhelming fear that chemo & meds have fried my brain & my new book won’t be as good as my other murder mysteries. That’s why this first review for Murder at the Otter Cove Market means so much. I am profoundly grateful for those who give reassurance when I need it most. 🇨🇦📚♥️ #fuckcancer

Macy: Can we read this book tonight? Luna: YES! I like murder mysteries!!! “…the oldest golf course on southern Vancouver Island boasted not only a view is the Salish Sea but also the occasional passing orca fin…” Macy: Orcas? Where are the otters? @snufflewort.bsky.social #Hedgewatch

Adorable approximately 21 day old Pilated Woodpeckers peeking out from the deep nesting cavity in the tree. They climb up to lean out waiting for parents to feed them. Waiting until they are 31 days old and can take their first flight.

After my cancer diagnosis & chemo brain fog, I didn’t know if I’d ever write another murder mystery. Well I did it my friends! ♥️ Writing for months, from 6 to 7am, I penned the novella “Murder at the Otter Cove Market”! It will be out for Christmas !🎄 📕 FUCK YOU CANCER!!! #fuckcancer #yyj
