And When

Stubborn independence is what her upbringing had taught her. To hide insecurity behind laughter and a smart mouth, that, she’d inherited. Since the divorce in her twenties, Jade Prency lived life never worried about tomorrow. At aged Forty-one, the purchase of a home marks the start of an unexpected twisted journey.With doctors discovering her tumor, she stumbles, but it is nothing compared to the devastation with hearing her father’s terminal diagnosis. As she watches her hero wither, everything she ever believed, changes. Lost in emotional turmoil, battling for her health, Jade withdraws from the world.Feeling separate and alone, she reaches to an online community where she can hide her worn appearance safely behind a keyboard. Building close friendships, avoiding all flirtations, one man won’t let her push him away. Her online family watch fascinated, as Brady Gibbs, the handsome American, holds her hand through it all and captures her heart.Ready to risk with the man who promised a future, life throws one more unexpected twist. Online, where real becomes make-believe and make-believe, becomes all too real.

  I was raised in a small Canadian town, in an average middle-class family. I've married, divorced, dated, loved, lost, struggled, worked, succeeded and failed.  I am an everyday type of person.  Single at age forty-something, I'm still figuring life out daily. I would define myself as being an analytical realist and a dreamer.  The dreamer starts to write, thinking of the happily ever after, but the realist edits.   

  I'd never written more than a grocery list until 2009.  It came out of nowhere as I sat at my computer one night.   The 'Sit N Do Nothing Hamster Series' is my attempt to bring us all a little closer in this technological world.  Humor, comparison and pull-quotes,  in workbook format, guides the reader on a journey of self-discovery.  They are a way to share tidbits of who we are in the here and now.  We are an accumulation of every moment in life and I believe it's important to share that. 

Finding my inner voice, I decided to try my hand at a fiction. 'And When' came first then 'Now What', the story of a normal woman thrust into life's adversity.  I write as I live, an average existence with many challenges.  I've started the third installment to finish the storyline.  I've also started two new projects that will dabble into new genres. 

  Everything takes hard work and nothing ever comes easy...well at least not in my life, but I believe karma is at play. It brings the people we are meant to meet, challenges we must overcome and dreams we are meant to reach for.

  Thank you for supporting my dream...
