My Travels

We hit the prairie backroads in my truck in July and loved every minute, admiring the big skies and meeting readers along the way.

During my writing retreat in tiny Eastend, Saskatchewan, I fell in love with its small town atmosphere and quirky charm.

The historic Wallace Stegner House in Eastend, Saskatchewan is my home for the month of June, and this heritage home is just filled with charm and atmosphere.

I spent seven days crossing the Atlantic Ocean on the historic Queen Mary 2. Here are my top ten observations about sailing on the only passenger liner in the world.

We recently spent two weeks in the beating heart of Mexico City, where thousands of people were once sacrificed to the Aztec gods and blood gushed down the streets very close to the location of our hotel. It was both gruesome and fascinating.

Our New York Christmas in early December was a magical, seven-day experience filled with fun and surprises.

I am loving Mexico, and that’s why we choose to spend three months in Puerto Vallarta every winter. Here are my top ten arguments in favour of our southern home away from home.

Bonny Scotland certainly lived up to its name during the four weeks we spent touring this fascinating country.

Scran is the traditional Scottish word for food. Here I share some of the mouth-watering meals, including this Sunday Roast Beef Dinner, that we enjoyed on our recent tour of this wonderful country.

My visit to Danesfield House Hotel in England was truly a dream come true. Not only is this white chalkstone mansion the setting for my wartime novel Bird’s Eye View, it was also the location for a very special event on May 8, 2022 — the seventy-seventh anniversary of VE-Day, Victory in Europe.
