Twice Hung came out last week! I'm so excited! If you're into historical mystery, with a sprinkle of romance, this one's for you! It features Ethel Arsenault and her journey to Charlottetown to see her affluent, business saavy brother Ernest, who has made a name for himself in the shipbuilding industry. When he turns up dead, Ethel is left to care for his estate, Eden Hall and his wife, Dolly. But Ethel is sure that there is something afoot when she starts hearing voices at night. Is she being plagued by the past, or is something more sinister at work? Please check out Twice Hung at all available retailers now. Though I wrote way out of my genre this time around, this book has been lovingly crafted with a ton of research into 1800's Charlottetown PEI. My visits to the island in the last few years really paid off here. Can you solve the mystery of Eden Hall? Oh! And don't forget to write a review! :)

    So tonight I am hosting a workshop called Ink and Intimacy through the Writer's Federation of New Brunswick. I'm pretty pumped. To keep everything PG however, I won't say much about it, other than it should be a fun time. Sometimes I wonder if workshops are the writing equivalent to Onlyfans. I guess they sound better on a resume than username SexyNess699. 

I do like holding workshops. I've two this week, as well as a radio interview, a book club, a writer's retreat and a reading. I'm not sure how I am still able to string together words, but I'm getting by. I've also committed to writing 1000 words a day until my next book: Twice Hung, is finished. 

 See it? Isn't it a spiffy cover? I've not talked about it much, mostly because I am still in the process of writing it, but now that its nearing completion I figure throwing a hint or two each month isn't a bad idea. 

If you haven't heard, Books We Love Publishing has been releasing their Canadian Historical Mysteries for the past several months. This is my contribution, or... it will be, once I'm finished with it. Since this is a bit out of my typical genre, it's been challenging at times, but I am really starting to enjoy it. I find a glass of wine or two really helps to lubricate my writing prowess, though I do have to be careful that I'm not 'Twice Hungover' once its completed. 

Has anyone else ever written something out of their comfort zone? If so, I'd love to hear about it.
