ANITA BIRT, WEAVER OF TALES

The Road to hell is paved with good intentions. I am well on my way to hell, I think. I intended to write a WARNING - to be aware of pick pockets in unlikely places, The Swiss Chalet restaurant in Markham, Ontario. My Niece, her husband and their son stopped for a bite to eat before dropping David off at the airport. He was returning to England after spending Christmas at home.

David and Laurence hung their winter jackets over the backs of their chairs and proceeded to enjoy a light meal and lots of chat. When David and Laurence stood up their wallets had been picked out of their jacket side pockets. They hadn't felt a thing. The wallets were found, minus the cash, but credit cards intact. They cancelled them. Markham is no longer the peaceful town it once was. Criminal gangs have moved in. Take heed wherever you are. Keep your eyes open. Keep your wallets secreted close to your body. Study your surroundings. Be aware.

Change of subject. My historical romance, A VERY DIFFICULT MAN, is selling fairly well in the UK. When it was first published I had a video made to publicize my book. Here's the link to the video if you'd like to see it. Go to Google and type in: Video, A Very Difficult Man, by Anita Birt. The video will pop up with music and voice over.

I have a few hard copies of the video if someone out there would like a copy, I am giving away two copies to the first  two people who request one. Please send your name and address. I will send the copy and never use your name and address ever again. That's a promise.

Now I return to editing my Ghost Writer Mystery. Takes time to do it properly.

The sun is shining on the Juan de Fuca Strait and the sea is quiet. I had a grand walk this morning and saw two humming birds!
