    Hello and thank you for visiting Smashwords and buying my ebooks. I love writing them and am happy that you enjoy them.. I live in British Columbia, Canada, and have to say it is truly a beautiful province - you need to visit to find out for yourself, of course. I love to golf, research things on the internet, write eBooks, cook and actually don't mind ironing. What's that, you say? Love to be outside and bbq when the weather permits.If you are trying to contact the author please use cbss at shaw dot ca as the emails shown in some of the books are no longer valid, and we apologize.If you have purchased one of my books, I would love for you to leave a review.
