“Welcome, welcome! Come sit down. Take a seat. The pea soup will be ready shortly. And it’s truly scrumptious today.
I am Victor and I am both your chef and your host here in the Dining Room at the P.A.W.S. Institute of Londinium. As you can see I am a rather small pig, but I have trained in the Culinary Magical Institute of P.A.W.S. in Paris and I can produce a veritable banquet.
So start with the pea soup, stay for the shepherd’s pie, and make sure you leave enough room for pudding. Today’s selection is Headmaster Sprocket’s favorite, rhubarb crumble and custard.”

Welcome to the first stop on The Pub and Restaurant Book Blog Tour! Your stop today is
Seven’s Pub and Plundery
from The Supernatural London Underground Series
Setting up the series for you:
It’s been two decades since an attempt to eradicate the supernatural forces in the city under the guise of understanding them began, and about seven since it ended in chaos. After their escape, four twentysomething housemates try to learn what being human means, as the hidden part of the city starts to rebuild itself, and they must open their world up to a daft American girl with a dark secret, and potential for their cause. There is only one way for Romarin to become part of the Supernatural London Underground: Can she be the one who challenges the misfits to put down their ghosts and demons and make their world together?
Thank you, Rosanna, for giving me this opportunity to stop by and introduce my latest release, The Yacht Club. Originally published in digital format exclusively for Amazon, I’m very excited to be able to share these three novellas for the first time under one cover and with a much wider distribution. Set in the beautiful, posh suburbs of Vancouver, Canada, each story delivers a HEA featuring a strong, confident woman who isn’t afraid of her own sexuality. The Yacht Club guaranteed to spice up your spring.
The Yacht Club Welcome to the Yacht Club – Vancouver’s exclusive BDSM club and best-kept secret – where few are asked to play, fewer still invited to stay. Each sexy story brings a bit of ink, a lot…
Tomorrow is the big day. Harry’s newest adventure, Hell to Pay, will be available everywhere. There’s still time to preorder your copy to ensure swift delivery.
If you can’t wait to return to Riverton (or need a bit of a refresher), I’ve created a reader’s guide to Harry’s world, a compendium of sorts, listing the people, places and things that make up Harry’s universe.
A word of warning before you click ENTER. If you are caught up on the series, you have nothing to fear (unless you don’t want to see my dream cast version of the main characters). If you are a book or two behind, my guide to Harry’s world contains spoilers. Enter at your own risk.
You asked for it, you got it. Hell to Pay is now available for preorder on Barnes & Noble and Apple iBooks. Release day is quickly approaching. Order your copy today!
I’m feeling a little sad today. If you’re a Canadian over the age of 35, you’ll probably understand why. If you’re not, well let me explain.
Last night, an iconic Canadian band bid the country farewell in a live concert in their hometown of Kingston, Ontario. The show was broadcast across the nation and played on screens big and small from St.John’s to Victoria. They even had a special screening down in Rio for the Olympic athletes. In a way that is usually reserved for gold medal hockey games, the country stood still for a few hours and came together to celebrate something uniquely Canadian – The Tragically Hip.
The Hip, as they are often lovingly called, consisting of members lead singer Gord Downie, guitarist Paul Langlois, guitarist Rob Baker, bassist Gord Sinclair, and drummer Johnny Fay have been rocking their way into the hearts of Canadians since 1984. They’ve released 14 studio albums, two live albums, 1 EP, and 54 singles. Nine of their albums have reached No. 1 in Canada. They have received numerous Canadian Music awards, including 14 Juno Awards. Remarkably, despite being superstars here at home, they never achieved the same fame internationally, but maybe that’s okay. Maybe that’s one of the things that make them so special to Canadians. They are truly ours and we didn’t have to share them with anyone else.
With a new album just released, you would think it would be a strange time for a farewell tour, but the reason is significant and, dare I say it, tragic. Gord Downie has cancer – a terminal brain tumor – and is dying. Cancer sucks, what can you do? Instead of packing it in, The Hip packed the trucks and the bluesy-rock band whose lyrics often portray long-forgotten moments from Canada’s history or familiar scenes of Canadian life, hit the road for one last tour.
At times triumphant, others raw and emotional, Gord Downie and the band cranked out almost three hours of classic Canadian rock, songs that have been a huge part of the soundtrack of my life. I know I’m not the only one. As I sat dazzled in front of the TV often snivelling quietly (so as not to alarm my son who just wouldn’t understand) I saw others in the crowd, men and women alike, that were just as teary as I was and I wondered at the courage it must take to get up on that stage over and over again across the country singing songs for possibly the last time.
As he belted out the final encore, Ahead by a Century, I couldn’t imagine what was going through Downie’s mind. Sorrow? Fury? Gratitude? All of the above? While I will never know, I hope that he was also thinking about how the entire country was bidding him a fond farewell and thanking him for being a part of their lives.
Hey folks! Today I have a treat for you. I’ve added an interview with international best-selling author, Rebecca Chastain to the S.I.A. section. I was quite excited when Rebecca contacted me to do an interview swap (so you can catch my interview with her on her website today as well). I’ve read Rebecca’s quirky romp, Tiny Glitches, where Eva, her main character, has a bit of a problem with electricity, not to mention a stolen ‘baby’ elephant. There are also ninjas and would-be kidnappers that like to bake. What’s not to love?
Rebecca also writes the popular Madison Fox series and is her promoting her Guardian Gargoyles Chronicles. Check it out!
