Histories, Mysteries, and Victories
Writing about Everyday Heroes and Extraordinary Lives
“Histories, Mysteries, and Victories” is an e-newsletter I hope to publish quarterly. Its inaugural edition (under the name “Touching Your World” was released in March, 2009.
Writing experts say ‘content is king’ and to ‘write what you know.’ With these two adages in mind, each issue of the newsletter will include two to four articles focusing on topics I’ve come to know quite intimately, and ones you’ve told me are important to you, including:
- Multiple sclerosis, including my personal journey with the disease. Please see Mountains for Maddi if you’d like to learn more.
- GECO, a WWII munitions plant that put Scarborough, Canada on the world’s stage in history. It’s also the backdrop for my novel, “The War Below.”
- Living within a blended family, including valuable lessons learned from Moses—stepfather to the world’s largest blended family. Sub-topics will include:
- What Would Moses Do?
- 10 Commandments for a Blended Family
- The Life and Times of a Stepmother
- It Happened to a Friend of a Friend of Mine, and
- The Ex-Files.
If you’d like to sign up to receive this e-newsletter, please use the form below.
Otherwise, you may view my current version here. Enjoy!

I’m on my way to the MS Society in Sudbury in the next few minutes, to hear Barbara speak on this subject; I’m hoping the book is available for purchase there but if not, I will be purchasing one this evening.
I can hardly wait to start the book; and look forward to the newsletters.
My husband was diagnosed with MS in June of 2008. My two dearest and closest friends also have MS – we do need to help find a cure.
Thank you and a special thanks for helping keep the fight against MS alive (my motto is MS will stand for Mystery Solved one day soon)!
