During a trip to St. John’s last weekend, Paul and I stopped by Coles Bookstore in the Avalon Mall. He had an Indigo gift card from his Christmas stocking that was burning a hole in his wallet, and I thought it would be a great idea to see, for the first time, my latest book on the shelf at an actual bricks and mortar establishment.
I wasn’t disappointed. There it was, in the local interest (Newfoundland and Labrador) section.

We left there and visited Chapters, the big box bookstore in the capital city.

Once again, I was pleased to see The Women of Wild Cove on the shelf, this time in the Fiction and Literature section.

At the suggestion of bookstore employee Megan, I happily signed all copies.


Megan told me they would be displayed as author-signed copies for more visibility.

So, townie friends, followers and fellow bookworms, there you have it. Last time I checked, there was only one of my novels left in stock at the Village Mall Coles location. You can get a copy at either of these locations, or at Indigo.ca, as well as Amazon. 📚

Congratulations!

It certainly is, Marie, as you already know!
I have a rough first draft of the sequel to The Women of Wild Cove, which will require a lot more work. But I’m also working on a poetry book—sound familiar? 🙂 It’s a culmination of poetry and prose I’ve written over the years, which I’m attempting to organize into a poetic memoir of sorts. We’ll see how it goes! Thanks so much for stopping by.
