Intimidating Giants
Do you want to feel small and exhilarated at the same time? Get up close with an iceberg in Newfoundland, Canada. A few days ago, a local fisherman took me out in his boat. He always keeps a safe distance (it is all about physical distancing these days, smile) because these giants can break apart anytime, especially when the weather gets warmer. I studied several icebergs with great interest because there will be an incident with an iceberg in my next murder mystery. I also took lots of pictures. The fisherman gave me additional information. He estimated that the invisible body of one of the icebergs reached a depth of 300 feet. He told me the iceberg sailed into these waters along a deep trench in the ocean floor and then got stuck. In the meantime, the berg has become lighter because it lost some of its weight, and it has moved out of our immediate area.
It is important to take one's mind off worrying situations that we cannot change, like Covid-19. Researching and writing books helps me to focus and bundle my energies. And hopefully my books will provide you with some hours away from it all so you can relax and recharge. Let me know how you liked them!

Right now, I am multitasking, juggling several books at the same time, emerging from one, diving into another one.

My new mystery novel "Stormy Cove" is released on May 24. But another things is happening: My next novel that is set in the Arctic is being edited. And I am already thinking of a future novel with cowboys, horses and a series of unexplained high-profile accidents/murders in it.
Sometimes, when people inquire about my books, I mix up my heroines`names or the locations or even the plot. That is what happens when you are pulled out of your quiet and solitary occupation of writing, and all of a sudden you find yourself out in the open, surrounded by people and bombarded by questions. But I enjoy that part, too, I really do. I just have to manage the transition.
What I am really looking forward to is the exchange with my readers. It is amazing what they come up with and what a particular book means to them and their lives.
All I can say: Bring it on. ...more
