Merry Christmas and all the best for 2007.

Well, 2006 is quickly drawing to a close. It has passed like a whirled wind, with three books published in the same year. Sometimes it was hard to know which book you were promoting today, but believe me it was not boring.

I would like to thank everyone who purchased, read or talked about my books. You were instrumental in making it a great year and as promised I used some of the money from this Christmas’s book sales to buy school supplies for underprivileged children.

I anticipate 2007 will be almost as hectic as I have two new books coming out; Rebel Politicians and the Junior Edition of Titanic: The Canadian Connection (rewritten for a grade 5/6 level)both Amazing Stories.

I also want to give all my friends the heads up (pun intended) that my kid’s school will be participating in this year’s St. Valentine's Day Hair Massacre #5. Both my son and daughter will be dying their hair bright pink, then on February 13, 2007, at West Edmonton Mall, having their heads shaved - all to raise awareness and money for cancer research.

If you are interested in donating to this important cause, please email me. Donations will give the donor access to before and after photos, which I believe will be really amusing. Also dontations of $25. or more receve a tax recept.
