What a year we've all had. It's been a long time, too long since I posted here. Just to let you all know, I made it through the first year of Covid and have received my first vaccine shot. Life as we all know certainly took a hit and I hope this post finds you healthy and safe. I've been lucky that we had no losses in our family due to Covid. My thoughts and wishes for peace and health go out to those of you who weren't as lucky.</div><p></p><p>We are seeing light at the end of the tunnel; here's to a better 2021 for us all.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iwZsmH-nXEc/YKqJxGd-QrI/AAAAAAAABFQ/3OXnRTLqudEcoOkb8embEH_tATztVCaLACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Chasing-Georgia-Main-File_preview.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1066" height="135" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iwZsmH-nXEc/YKqJxGd-QrI/AAAAAAAABFQ/3OXnRTLqudEcoOkb8embEH_tATztVCaLACLcBGAsYHQ/w86-h135/Chasing-Georgia-Main-File_preview.jpeg" width="86" /></a></div>So what's new on the writing front? Well in February, a short story book was published, <i>Snap Shots</i>, vignettes about women in trying situations; some sad, some inspiring, some funny. Hope you enjoy it.<p></p><p>I've just finished <i>Storm Dreamer, Book 3, The Crossing Trilogy. </i>It's in edits right now and I hope to see it published in the fall. A new protagonist with all the old characters from Book 1 and 2; this one is about reincarnation and how past events in our lives can carry forward into the next life--and how redemption comes in strange forms.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P0mpZSn7DQY/YKqIJR5H2NI/AAAAAAAABEk/ZcA6NXUWqVEaf1sUkxzjPn5dUFXiIfvaQCLcBGAsYHQ/s448/51-XfvX07sL.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="448" data-original-width="298" height="132" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P0mpZSn7DQY/YKqIJR5H2NI/AAAAAAAABEk/ZcA6NXUWqVEaf1sUkxzjPn5dUFXiIfvaQCLcBGAsYHQ/w88-h132/51-XfvX07sL.jpg" width="88" /></a></div>The other news, I'd like to share with you all, dear readers is Taleflick Productions is holding a contest to find their next book to screen project, with the winner's story being optioned. I've learned that Magnolia Tree and Chameleon Games, Book 1 and 2, The Crossing Trilogy, are both quarter-finalists in their second cycle search. Next month, we'll find out if either of my stories moves forward from the 25 quarter-finalists to 6 semi-finalists. Exciting, because I feel validated as a writer and humbled to be in such great company, regardless of the outcome.<p></p><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sSYZhgn0aXA/YKqODmcIfdI/AAAAAAAABFk/tpQFERAU7xcVqz2Gg2RaejEopfz7icwawCLcBGAsYHQ/s168/Magnolia-Tree-Main-File_preview%2B%25281%2529.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="168" data-original-width="112" height="133" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sSYZhgn0aXA/YKqODmcIfdI/AAAAAAAABFk/tpQFERAU7xcVqz2Gg2RaejEopfz7icwawCLcBGAsYHQ/w88-h133/Magnolia-Tree-Main-File_preview%2B%25281%2529.jpeg" width="88" /></a></div>That's my news, everyone.

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i> The old two-story farmhouse with
boarded windows, peeling paint and overgrown gardens appeared nothing like the
house she remembered from her childhood. Sydney Grey stood on the gravel
sidewalk that led to the sagging steps attached to a porch covered with leaves,
dirt and broken tree branches. Her eyes scanned the windows on the second
floor, resting on one window in particular. My
bedroom. Her mind filled with childhood memories of swimming in the small
lake behind the house and playing hide and seek in the grove of magnolia trees.
She loved the smell of the magnolia flowers; a heady, intoxicating scent with a
touch of cherry, lemons, and a hint of vanilla. <o:p></o:p></i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="line-height: 200%;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i> An
uneasiness that started in the pit of her stomach and pushed its way through
her body made Sydney frown. She had no idea why. Feelings such as these plagued
Sydney her whole life. Usually, they occurred before something happened. She
shrugged it off. That’s because she didn’t yet know that she used to talk to a
dead person. </i></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

It's been awhile, I know. But sometimes life gets in the way and that's what's been happening with me for the past several months.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">First, I had knee replacement surgery on my right knee at Christmas time and went through extensive physiotherapy and healing. It takes up to a year for the inflammation and healing to complete. I'm halfway there now and so glad it is behind me. I am able to walk without canes or walkers and can do stairs and hills, albeit at a snail's pace.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Two months ago, we moved from the east side of the Island to the south end of the Island. A move we are happy with and has us closer to family. But during this period, my dear mother passed away at the age of 96. It was a blessing and she didn't suffer, but one is never prepared for these things, even though you know it's coming. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The past six months took me away from my public writing life and led me into a personal life of introspection and spending time with family. The muse left me and I felt tapped out. But I'm back and eager to embrace my creativity once again. My last post revealed the release of Magnolia Tree, Book 1 of The Crossing Trilogy; a series of mystery/suspense, strong female protagonists and a touch of supernatural. I'm in the process of creating Book 2, Chameleon Games and am excited to be back in the game.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My debut novel, Winter's Captive, Book 1 of the Georgia Series is on special. The E-Book is FREE until the end of today only. So if you haven't read this story of one woman's struggle to survive alone and lost in a cold, northern wilderness, now is the time to download it for free. See below.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'd like to once again thank all my readers around the world for their continued support; especially in Canada, US, Australia, Great Britain, France, Germany, India and Poland. You guys rock.</span><br />

It's been awhile so I thought I should check in and update my status. I decided to take some months off from my writing and regroup. It has been wonderful spending time with family and my beautiful grandchildren.<br />
<br />
I have been watching our wildfire situation for weeks now here in British Columbia. Especially my former residence in Clinton in the BC Interior. They have been evacuated and the fire has been licking at the hills leading down to the valley where this quaint historical village sits. The Elephant Hill fire is the biggest of all the fires firefighters have been dealing with this summer and it just wont quit. It is comforting to know that so far everyone is safe and the town has been protected thus far.<br />
<br />
I am starting to get itchy feet however and have started organizing my office and writing tasks. I'm ready to get back at it. Some changes have come my way in regards to my publishing status and I'm excited at the possibilities ahead.<br />
<br />
Off to pick up the grandkids for a week of fun. We're taking them to Long Beach on the west side of the Island. I'll be back soon to start up my writing career. Cheers to you all.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
KEEP ON KEEPING ON WRITING!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;">My post today is to honor Earth Day. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;">A day that is celebrated annually all over the world every year to support environmental protection, this year it is a political statement supporting science and opposing the policies of Donald J. Trump, President of the United States.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;">A day doesn't go by that the new President doesn't create controversy over some new appointment to his administration, or a change of policy that is detrimental to the people's well-being, The disturbing aspect of anything the President does or says, is his constant practice of saying one thing but doing another. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;">His changes to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is a huge testament to this behavior pattern.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;">President Trump replaced the head of the EPA with Scott Pruitt who was funded by oil industry lobbyists. Here is a man who is a disbeliever in climate change. A man who has tried to sue the EPA. A man who believes the EPA oversteps its boundaries. A man whose LinkedIn page describes him as an advocate against the EPA.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;">President Trump signed an executive order to roll back clean water regulations and to roll back regulations imposed on energy companies to protect the environment. He refused to ban a pesticide in food that is known to harm children's brains. He's allowed the use of lead ammunition on Federal lands and waters. The word 'science' was removed from the EPA's mission statement, etc. etc. etc...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;">And yet...today President Trump had this to say about his support of Earth Day:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times" , sans-serif;"><i><span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;">"My Administration is committed to keeping our air and water clean, to preserving our forests, lakes, and open spaces, and to protecting endangered species." </span></i></span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;">and went on to say:</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times" , sans-serif;"><i><span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;">"We should remember that rigorous science depends not on ideology, but on a spirit of honest inquiry and robust debate."</span></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times" , sans-serif;"><i><span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;">My heart is heavy on this Earth Day. Our global planet does not recognize borders, what happens in one country affects us all. Clearly we've learned as President Trump reaches is first 100 days, that we don't listen to what he says, but instead watch what he does. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;">As a novelist whose writing is inspired by nature and whose stories always include mother nature in its tale, I was heartened by the Earth Day protests. We are all witnessing that people can make a difference. Voices can be heard. If we persist and educate, awareness will win out.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>

Bourgo, Authorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12242974662704802965noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953624719845879393.post-38394288723309495072017-02-07T10:54:00.001-08:002017-02-07T11:02:03.519-08:00I'M BACK!<span style="font-size: large;">It's been awhile since I last posted. With time off for Christmas festivities in December and down with the flu in January, I can't believe we're into February. This makes me late with my best wishes to everyone for 2017. May you find happiness, peace, and love.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In a period where political unrest and uncertanty seems to dominate our thinking and social media, I've had time this past month to reflect on what's important to me. What's happening south of the border with our American allies and friends has impacted not only their own people, but those of us north and south of their borders and all over the world.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are times when my husband and I have had to say: Enough is enough. Turn off the television news, stay away from social media and enjoy the day. On more than one occassion, I must admit, I've posted responses to what I think are ignorant or hateful comments, only to be ridiculed or told as a Canadian to mind my own business. In the end, I've concluded that anything I say to ignorant or hateful people, will not change their opinion. My opinion gets lost in the rhetoric. People get carried away with emotion and become irrational. I don't expect everyone to accept my opinion. Afterall, isn't that what democracy is? Freedom of thought and speech? I just wish it could be done with respect.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I've concluded what really counts, is action. I absolutely believe as the new administration of Mr. Trump moves forward, that what they do south of our border affects the whole world--it already has. I'm drawing in my horns on social media and turning to action. It's what we do that really counts.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So how does this politicized post tie into the fact that this blog is an Author site, usually dedicated to all things 'writing'?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Let me tell you. I'm an author who writes about women. Women who face tough situations and through all their struggles become empowered. This is my passion. How can I not be part of what I see as a wrongdoing, a deliberate attempt to put women back decades in their fight for equality.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In light of all the issues affecting peoples rights and women's rights in the US and with no idea of the eventual outcome and its effects, I intend to take action. Come March 8th, International Women's Day, I will join in a march, along with thousands of other people to support not only the rights for women, but for everyone, no matter their race, religion, or sexual orientation. I invite all of you to find a march in your neighbourhood and join in the fight.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">During what will be tumultuous times with unforseen outcomes, I wish you peace for 2017.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: white; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">My final word on the US Election for what it's worth. This isn't
about whether Republicans won or Democrats won. This isn't about whether
Hillary won or Donald won. And it isn't about that the people have spoken
either. Because Hillary won the popular vote, and the archaic Electoral College
vote is what put Donald in as President. What this is really about is that a
country is divided in half. Families have been pitted against each other,
friends have lost friends and those r<span class="textexposedshow">elationships
will not heal themselves today and go back to normal because the election is
over. This is about a campaign that ran on fear and fear won out. There are
good people on both sides of this division, but fear brings out the worst in
people. This derisive division between our US neighbours has fanned the flames
of this fear with bigotry, violence and a lack of respect for their democratic
right for their individual beliefs. This fear isn't going to end because the
election is over, nor is the split. I wish the people of the US unity and
healing however idealistic that may sound.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Moving day, I drove to Mom’s. She stood surrounded
by hobby farm animals. The farmer who was moving the animals didn’t show.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I made some calls; soon realizing we
were on our own. The new owners arrived, annoyed we were still there. An hour
later, we headed out in my hatchback, the backseat tied to the roof. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Almost at the new farm, a police car
pulled me over. The officer leaned through the open window speechless.. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Barclay barked. The parrot shouted: <i>“Hello.”</i> The ducks quacked and Dickens,

buttons.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Kelly closed her computer, packed files into
the box on her desk, and leaned back in her chair. She swivelled towards the
left of her desk and stared at the full wall mural featured behind a sea green coloured
couch. Fern trees flanked the sofa, centered on an oval rug with a cherry wood
coffee table.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The mural reminded her of New England—the
sea, fish, waves, sea grasses, and snails. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tomorrow, she was driving to Old Orchard
Beach, Maine to her summer home. Five months of writing, visiting friends, sea
food and walking miles along the sandy beach.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
