I'm an award-winning author, editor, self-publishing book coach, publisher, fasting advocate, NFP teacher, and ghostwriter who lives in Canada.
I’m going to avoid talking about the lengthy, brutal winter that most of us are still experiencing to tell you about my new book, A Subtle Grace. It’s the sequel to my second novel, In Name Only, and continues the story of the wealthy and unconventional O’Donovan Family in the year 1896. At 19, Kathleen […]
You don’t have to live in Canada to have experienced a brutal winter this year with record breaking amounts of snow and bitterly cold temperatures across the North, Midwest, South and East. Some experts say that it’s the result of the Polar Vortex. Whatever it is, I am sure of one thing: I’m ready for […]
Happy New Year! At the last CWG Board Meeting, Board members decided to make a plea for more volunteers. Now that the Guild has over 500 members, the Board has come to realize that only about 20 members are doing 95 percent of the work of the Guild. All of us are volunteers, many of […]
On behalf of the Catholic Writers Guild Board, I’d like to wish every Guild member a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year! It’s been an exciting and busy year for the Guild. Our membership tipped 500. We held a successful live conference in New Jersey with nearly 100 attendees. Our Seal of Approval committee […]

If you are a dues-paying member of the Guild and you’re on Facebook, but have yet not been added, […]
As an American living in Canada, I have always enjoyed celebrating both Canadian Thanksgiving (Columbus Day weekend) and American Thanksgiving in November. It’s a chance to spend time with family and indulge in turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie, and all that comes with a big dinner. It’s an opportunity to give thanks twice for all the […]
The beautiful reds and oranges of deciduous trees, the morning frost and the scent of wood stoves burning maple have declared that autumn has arrived here in Canada. The Catholic Writers Retreat is almost here and the deadline is fast approaching! If you would like to attend and have not yet registered, please do so […]
The 2013 Catholic Writers Conference Live is over and those of us who attended have been re-energized with new ideas from the varied and inspiring presenters and panel members. This year’s conference was a great success with over 100 attendees and many volunteers. Special thanks to Ann Lewis, Conference Coordinator, who did an outstanding job! […]
“A writer never has a vacation. For a writer, life consists of either writing or thinking about writing.” Eugene Ionesco, playwright Summer is in full swing. With its arrival often comes the planning of vacations and trips. Indeed, some writers truly never take a vacation as their passion for storytelling can prompt them to carry […]
Because self-published authors don’t have a publishing company to help them promote their books, it’s important to take the initiative in marketing. Even authors who have publishers must often do their own marketing. Connecting with your fans on a personal level is a great way to market your book. This can be done through attending […]
