TGIF (1)


This Friday's Question:

When You're Not Reading: What occupies your time 
when your nose isn't stuck in a book?
 
When I'm not reading.. I'm a residential house designer in a small town in Northern Ontario.  I spend most weekdays at the office designing houses, cottages, garages, additions, and renovations.  

I love to cook, so when I get home from work I'm experimenting with fun stuff for dinner.
 
Easy Chicken Pasta Casserole

I watch TV with Mike (my other half) and hang out with our 3 dogs. 

Mike & 1 with our dogs - Buddy, Chance & Myla
Most nights catch up on blog stuff while dinner is cooking and chat with my BFF Chrystal from Snowdrop Dreams of Books. 

My computer area - which has changed a bit since this photo was taken!

I also sew, knit, crochet and do lots of other crafty stuff when my nose isn't glued to a book or my e-reader.  I'm also an amateur genealogist and family historian - so I try and get some research in as well!

Book Tour: Bring Me Back by Karen Booth

I’m Karen, a Midwestern girl transplanted in the South, raised on 80s music, Judy Blume, and the films of John Hughes. An early preoccupation with Rock ‘n’ Roll led me to spend my twenties working my way from intern to executive in the music industry. Much of my writing revolves around the world of backstage passes and band dynamics. My first full-length novel, “Bring Me Back”, is a story I had in my head for nearly eight years before my fingers hit the keyboard.

I channeled teenage memories of plastering my walls with posters to weave the tale of music journalist, Claire Abby, and the dreamy British rock-star crush of her youth, Christopher Penman. “Bring Me Back” is a work of women’s fiction, published by Turquoise Morning Press.
