    perfectly reasonable coverIt’s the Perfectly Reasonable word scramble!

    Margo MacMillan finished medical school, but in the process, her self-confidence and self-esteem took a beating. So for the sake of self-preservation, she’s stepped away from medicine to re-group. In the meantime, painting soothes her soul and pays the bills.

    Trace Bennett set his sights on a medical degree and has to prepare the perfect medical school application. His big plan is to paint his condo for a little feng shui divine luck. When Margo shows up to paint, he realizes he’s found exactly what he’s looking for. He just has to convince Margo to share more than the art of medicine.

    She’s got it. He wants it. It’s Perfectly Reasonable.

    Have fun with the word scramble. Stay tuned  for tomorrow’s Perfectly Planned word search on the Perfectly Together countdown!

    Mikaela’s getting married! Woohoo!! She’s madly in love with Sam, and can’t wait to walk down the aisle.

    Perfectly Honest coverPerfectly Honest ~ You never know where your words will take you . . .

    When Mikaela Finn agreed to be Sam’s ‘fiancée’ for a weekend, she probably should have told him that she’s a doctor.

    Sam O’Brien, aka ‘Dr. Eye Candy’, is trying to shed his playboy reputation and convince a small town hospital that he’s ready to settle down. But when his ‘fiancée’ helps deliver a baby in the middle of the meet and greet, it’s a bit of a shock. If he’d known the whole truth, he might have done things a little differently because somehow his ‘fiancée’ ends up stealing his job and his heart. Not exactly the change he wanted.

    Lies and deceit – it’s a match made in heaven!

  • Perfectly Together Cover Reveal

    I’m very excited to reveal the cover of the next book in the Perfectly Series – Perfectly Together! It’s on the way 😀

    Newly graduated naturopathic doctor Jayden Locke has a dream – start a practice in small-town Emerson and never move again. She’s found the perfect office building to buy. It passes an inspection, design plans are drawn up, and the bank okays the loan. Only one problem.

    Dr. Cole Cameron scoops it before she has a chance to submit an offer. What?

    It’s a good investment. Cole isn’t interested in settling down. He works three jobs in three different towns and would just as soon keep moving. But something about Jayden’s defiant eyes and sexy smile makes him pause and reconsider.

    What are the chances that a heart filled with wanderlust and a soul longing for a home fit Perfectly Together?

    Stay tuned all week for a countdown of fun games and puzzles – test your knowledge of the Perfectly Series!

  • Sharing the Awesome – Artist Rodney Holbrook

    My life is filled with love and laughter thanks to the amazing people I meet. As well as being awesome, they’re creative, talented, and generous! I thought you might like to meet them, so I’ve asked them to come and give us a behind-the-scenes look at what they’re passionate about. I have to warn you though – creativity is contagious!

    My guest today is talented artist Rodney Holbrook. Growing up, I remember a beautiful painting of a rose hanging on the wall – a gift to my parents from Rodney. I thought it was a wedding gift, a really lovely memento of their special day!

    Rodney paint riverRodney, when did you start to paint? R: I started to take instruction in high school in the U.K. but I’m basically self-taught.

    That takes patience and experimentation! What do you like to paint and what media do you use? R: I enjoy painting a variety of subjects, currently in watercolour as it is more convenient when getting together with a group to paint.

     

     

    Rodney paint sugar shackWatercolours are my favourite. I love the whimsical feel of them. Do you show your work or have it on display for sale? R: Occasionally our small “Art Group”, all of whom are retirees in our retirement community, have exhibited our work at the local Art Centre.  Some of our members offer for sale, but I don’t. Some of us have donated art to raise money for the local hospital or cancer research, etc.

     

     

    That’s very generous of you. Have you had any funny or heartwarming moments to share from your painting? R: A good friend of ours, also an experienced artist, has complimented my work on occasion, which thrilled me.

    Rodney paint street chickensOh very cool! He’s designed quite a few Canadian coins and stamps. Wow! Do you have any tips for aspiring artists? R: Learn to draw first of all, and in particular, study perspective as it is so important.

     

    Great advice – I’m sure it takes a lot of practice to get that right. If you had to pick a song to be your theme song, what would it be? R: When I look at Kathryn many love songs go through my mind, can’t choose one in particular.

    That’s very sweet. What superpower do you admire? R: God

    The highest of superpowers! What’s your favourite dessert? R: Every night for dessert Kathryn makes a mixed fresh fruit cocktail with frozen yogurt, fruit yogurt and maple syrup.  Leftovers go on the morning cereal.

    Delicious and twice the treat! Thank you so much for sharing your art with us. I love your paintings, and I really admire you for using them to raise money for charity. Truly, a labour of love. 😀
