Top Ten Posts for 2021 - Most Visited.

What a fantastic year it has been for the Scribbler with terrific guests.

All my guests are special.

All my visitors and readers are special. They are the ones who make the blog as popular as it is. I am thankful for each and everyone of you. They are the reason for the numbers being as they are.

Someone asked me, "Why do you go to all the work of having different guest on your blog?"

The reason is simple (and a cliché) - I want everybody to succeed. If I can help authors or other creatives reach a new audience, it makes me happy. We all need each other.

Most of my guest are appreciative and express their gratitude by sharing my work or warm friendly notes expressing their thanks. It makes it all worth it.

Wall of War

Vigilantes -

Another Drake Alexander Adventure. The master vintner at Chateau Lambert Estates, Jean-Paul Chouinard, stares up the rise at the family cemetery, where the darling of the house was laid to rest yesterday. The grave site is surrounded by four men and a woman. The people whose service Mireille Lambert was in when she died. One of them was her lover. One of them is Drake Alexander. Chouinard knows what they do. He knows who Alexander is. He hears the whispers. Vigilantes. He grieves knowing the brothers who are responsible for his daughter’s death twenty years ago have not been apprehended. Maybe it’s been too long. Maybe the brothers are already dead. Maybe, if he asked, Alexander and his people could find them

A Box of Memories.

A collection of short stories. Many of the short stories herein are inspired by memories I have of events in my life or related events I’ve witnessed or read about. Family is important to me so many stories are about relationships, love, sharing and giving, overcoming difficulties. Read about an older man and an abandoned baby. His last days. Three men acting like boys. Ten year old boys and the trouble they get into. The grueling work of dismantling ships by hand. Retirees with too much time on their hands. The dangers of shopping in Outer Space. Visiting a Food Bank. A covered wagon with a family and all of their possessions. Escaping slaves. Seniors with nothing to eat. The revenge of the wasps. Returning to the country of your birth. A Honey Trap. A detective that discovers crimes too close to home.

Spring Paths. The anthologies continue.

The Alexanders. Vol. 2 1921 - 1925

The Alexander Saga continues. Dominic has his ups and downs as life continues in his new country. His business is growing. His wife is expecting their first child. He often wonders of the woman he saw in Halifax. The Roaring 20’s bring speakeasys, jazz, flappers, a booming stock market, disregard for prohibition. Everyone who can is investing in the future. Europe is rebuilding after the war and supplies from North America are in high demand. Will Dominic get involved with the investing frenzy or will caution prevail? The words of his late Uncle Duff ring loudly in his mind. “Watch those pennies, lad. Don’t waste your money on foolish things.” Will Dominic’s decisions keep the business intact?

Code Name: Iron Spear 1941

Shattered Lives.

Book 2 of the Shattered Series. Jo Naylor is on the run. Wanted back in Canada for questioning regarding her father’s suicide. She has no intention of returning. With a new identity, she takes up temporary residence in a foreign country. She may not be a detective any longer but once a cop, always a cop. A distraught woman pleads with Naylor to find her daughter. Should she help? She doesn’t know anyone in Thailand, doesn’t know the geography but that doesn’t stop Naylor from sticking her nose where it shouldn’t be. Naylor and her new sidekick, an orphaned girl, join up with a local PI. There’s more than a missing child at stake.

Jo Naylor is in trouble!

Book 3 of the Shattered Series. Jo Naylor has to leave the sunny skies and beaches of Thailand. It's too dangerous for her to remain. A return home to Canada isn't an option. Stepping off the plane in Paris, she's greeted by freezing rain and a new adventure. Befriended by an older man, Jo is introduced to the glamourous city and unforgettable characters. Brandy Williams is an Australian expat who dreams of reporting for Le Figaro, one of Paris' leading dailies. The lead she uncovers of forced prostitution may be her last. When Brandy disappears, Jo is not one to turn away from trouble. She wonders who she can trust with her own secret. She doesn't know the city well enough to search on her own. Bertrand Poitras, a small time bookie and man about town offers to help. Having been a cop for so many years has made Jo leery of his type. Handsome, tough and with the right connections, she decides to give him a chance. Click on the photo for more info. Thanks.
