 Generally, I post every other day. However this holiday season I've been lucky to post once or twice. It's been busy in the Carroll household, full of laughter and tears. I have never laughed so much or cried so hard and it is the emotional roller coaster that has set off the worst Crohn's flare in two years. I want to apologize to the Crohn's community. It seems I have neglected my fellow crohnies by not discussing this topic more. As I said last week, Thursday will be my Crohn's blogging day. That said, I'll be over at Levi's website On The Regular discussing in detail how Crohn's affects my life. I'll let you know the day and web address when he gives it to me.  For the new year I'm featuring author Catherine Anne Collins and her books, A Witch's Lament and A Witch's Legacy. Biography Catherine Anne Collins Catherine is living her life-long dream on a 50 acre farm in Ontario where she and her husband recently moved. Between playing with her ever growing menagerie of barnyard animals and helping her husband run their martial arts dojo, she finds time to write. Other interests include traditional archery, walking in the woods, photography and reading. Her research for A Witch's Lament included a trip to Salem, Massachusetts and she's thinking of setting her next book somewhere with sun, surf and palm trees, so she has an excuse to do more "research". Find her books and photos of her animals (and husband) on her website: www.catherineannecollins.com Blurb A Witch's Legacy by Catherine Anne Collins Purchase e-Book Purchase Print Genre: Paranormal ISBN: 9780982820049 Length: Novel Publication Date: May, 2011 Cover art by Jeannie Ruesch Fighting a deadly battle on a cliff high above the raging sea, Seabhac hovers on the point of death.
