Iโ€™m an author, photographer and cancer warrior from Victoria, Canada. Just starting up my bluesky account. If you follow, expect lots of photos of my beautiful breakwater. #fuckcancer #writers

I have an overwhelming fear that chemo & meds have fried my brain & my new book wonโ€™t be as good as my other murder mysteries. Thatโ€™s why this first review for Murder at the Otter Cove Market means so much. I am profoundly grateful for those who give reassurance when I need it most. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ“šโ™ฅ๏ธ #fuckcancer
