Behind the scenes peeks at what I’m up to as a traditionally published novelist.
Sounds great, but what’s your deal, actually?
I’m a Canadian archivist and author.
HONEYBEE EMERALDS is a fun, light-hearted story of four women in Paris who discover a stunning diamond and emeralds necklace and set about tracking down its former owners — including a courtesan, a spy and a dancer. It was a finalist in the Indy Book Awards “Best First Novel” prize.

I’ve authored the Dominion Archives Mystery Series — a mystery trilogy set in and around Canada’s fictional national archives. THE FOULEST THINGS was called “A literary joy ride” by none other than Louise Penny and was a finalist in the Canadian Crime Writers’ Association’s “Best Novel Set in Canada” prize.
I’m also the proud owner of ten-year old cockapoo, Daffodil.
Here she is amongst the daffodils — check out her big smile!
What’s up with the weird name for this newsletter?
The newsletter is called Méli-Mélo in honour of the Québec name for Bits ‘n Bites that salty, crunchy snack mix you eat at parties.
