February news!

Coming soon! 
I'm excited to say I'll be at the Fairy and Fantasy Faire March 28-29th (note: it's TWO DAYS this year!) in Sidney, BC. I'm also giving a talk (which I need to go practice!) as one of their seminars and hopefully have a chance to see lots of people! Costumes are mandatory for vendors, which I think is a great idea! Last year, I practiced at the Island FanCon (which moved to June this year) with a travelling Shimmer costume, and then finished with a dancing Shimmer costume.
(For anyone who doesn't know, Shimmer Weaver is a character in Son of No Man Series book 2 onwards and the main female lead in His Last Name, and she's awesome!)
This year, because there are two days at Fairy and Fantasy Faire, I'm going to use dancing Shimmer again (once I repair the beadwork that was destroyed by my well-meaning husband putting it THROUGH THE WASHING MACHINE) but I'm working on something new for day 2; Lania. So stay tuned!
I've got the edits for Beyond the Southern Dune in the hands of the Editors, and work has begun on Under the Jungle Canopy. I'm a little waylaid by a short story project through the Sooke Writer's Collective. The anthology is up... and I put in a snippet of the submission below for you! 
This month I am highlighting Astra Crompton as author and illustrator and there are some freebies at the bottom as usual. 
Stay warm out there!
