I love school visits! The children are like sponges and every day and every presentation is full of the unexpected. (Like when a little one sitting in the front row decides to “toot” and all the children around burst into laughter or… move away plugging their noses. Yes, this does happen.) Check out this article [...]

Saturday Morning!

Lorna — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 16:53:10 +0000

I’m up early on a Saturday morning knowing I have work to do. A copy edit awaits me. Haha. Am I procrastinating by writing this blog? I think so. If I’m going to procrastinate I might as well do it with style and grace. First, let me thank all who have invested time into watching [...]

Here are the covers for my first two books in the Podium Sports Series. Very exciting! This Young Adult series will be published by James Lorimer and Company.

Okay, so I will admit the social network element of marketing books is a bit foreign to me but…I’m trying. I’ve started creating a Facebook Page for my new Podium Sports Academy Series but haven’t got it quite completed. I am on Facebook and now have over 2000 friends. I don’t know who they are [...]

Happy Summer! Hope you are enjoying the sun and lazy days that go with summer. I love summer because it is a time to get together with friends and family. And drink a glass of wine or two! Did I say just two? Haha. But I’m also working, which for me is also fun. Let [...]

It’s a day for Daddy!

Lorna — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 15:33:28 +0000

I hope all you dads out there have a fantastic day! My own father passed away on December 31st, 2004 and I miss him. I have a great photo of him in my office and…I know this will sound crazy, but (okay, I’ve been working with Tara too long), when I’m writing he often talks [...]
