After many cloudy, rainy or cold days, the sun finally came out on the Saturday of my book signing at Indigo in Ancaster. People were smiling and in a good mood. Indigo was very busy with many folks dropping by to check out the latest publications and have a coffee at Starbucks. The book signing was well attended and questions were asked not only about the books but writing/publishing in… Read More »Update on first book signing of 2020. February 8th.

At 75, I wrote The Interloper and at 76, I completed the trilogy with The Emissary’s Endgame. My books… Read More »demilked.com

I wish every reader of my blog a happy and peaceful Christmas. May the new year be calm (if that is what you wish), prosperous (if that is what you are working toward) but, most of all, never forget, we all have our personal battles, so I wish you strength of character, patience and kindness. May 2020 be good for you and that you continue to flourish. Take care. Erica
Here’s a thought for the readers on your Christmas list. Why not get them a book meant to not only entertain but something for them to think about? Yes, I know, books are such a personal thing but there are readers, like myself, who enjoy a variety of genres and benefit from the writing perspectives of different authors. I recommend for first time readers of my books, perhaps The Interloper.… Read More »CHRISTMAS IS COMING

Spent a couple of days with the artist who created the book covers, my granddaughter, Elyse. Time spent with adult grandchildren is so very important. We relate not as older person to younger person but as equals. Lots of laughter. It was simply two women enjoying each other’s company and shared history. The staff at Langdon Hall were absolutely the best. The whole environment was one of relaxation, gourmet food… Read More »Langdon Hall, Cambridge

Tony Charelle is the protagonist who appears in all three novels. He is my last character for a back story. In England in the mid-1600’s, a young girl, the mistress of a wealthy man, died in childbirth. The midwife took the baby boy home thereby enlarging her brood of orphaned children. As the child grew, the other boys introduced him into the culture of street life. Highly intelligent, cunning and… Read More »BACK STORY – TONY CHARELLE
