My fondest memories are of those dearest to me, and others I have had the pleasure to meet. Whether a smile, a nod of acknowledgement, a pleasant hello, a brief encounter, or a lasting relationship, everyone adds something to our lives. Some will add more than others.
Christine’s writing has inspired family, friends and countless other people. Their encouragement and support urged her to continually embrace and celebrate the gifts of renewal and new beginnings. Readers inspired by Christine have requested “. . . more of Christine.”
Her novel currently being written, Abigail’s, A Little Piece of Heaven was delayed when she accepted an invitation to, “Tell the world about me.” Perpetua, They are Me! is the response honoring that request.

Enjoy the first pages from Perpetua who recounts her journey from beloved daughter, wife, and new mother until her house arrest and martyrdom. Over eighteen centuries ago, with her infant son at the breast and in her own hand, she authored the oldest known Latin writings by a Christian woman. Perpetua has written once again.
Enjoy the reflections from an author, who struggled to embrace life and her true voice. Difficult moments we endure in silence can often smother God’s love and grace within us. Silence often enhances anxiety, misery and more, and provocative pronouncements can contribute to the same. Reasoned responses, expressed quietly loud, are often the most elusive.
Enjoy the first pages of a new young family deciding which collectibles to buy. Dickens’ Village was our first choice, a choice that made our small children cry. For them Christmas was mostly about Santa, his reindeer and all the elves. Not an old English village to be displayed on our living room shelves.
The Coronavirus has delayed research for my father’s biography and his twenty year hockey career throughout Canada and the United States during the Golden Years of Senior Hockey. Enjoy a couple pages as a star athelete weighs his options when… “Times were a changing.”
