As we wind down and approach the holidays, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey we've shared throughout this year. This festive season, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for each and every one of you who has been a part of my literary adventure.

Your unwavering support has been the greatest gift an indie author could ever receive. I am so deeply grateful for all of your encouraging words, heartfelt reviews, and the simple act of sharing my stories. In the true spirit of Christmas, I am reminded that the magic of the season lies not just in tinsel and twinkling lights, but in the love and connections we share.

This year, I've witnessed characters come to life on the pages of my books, and it's your enthusiasm that has brought them to life in the hearts of readers around the world. The journey of creating, sharing, and connecting through words has been made all the more special because of your presence.

As we gather around our loved ones, exchange gifts, and indulge in festive treats, I want you to know that you are the greatest gift of all. Your support has been the guiding star that lights up my creative path, and I am profoundly grateful for the community we've built together.

May your holiday season be filled with the warmth of love, the joy of friendship, and the magic of storytelling. Here's to creating more beautiful chapters together in the coming year.

Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

With love and gratitude,

Sabine

A Labour-Free Labour Day? Yes, Please!

Hello and Happy Labour Day to all my lovely North American readers! Now, isn’t it just a little bit ironic that a holiday with the word labour baked right into the name is universally observed by doing absolutely none of it? Zero. Zilch. Unless, of course, you count the rigorous work of flipping burgers, casting fishing lines, and chasing wasps away from the potato salad. Then yes—we are a nation of highly skilled, recreational labourers. Olympic-level loungers, really. This year, I’m wholeheartedly leaning into the contradiction. After an exceptionally busy summer filled with writing deadlines, creative misadventures, and one unfortunate incident involving a Papillon, a pie, and a squirrel (don’t ask—Pixie is still refusing to discuss it), I’m embracing the art of not doing much at all. My Labour Day weekend plans include: Reclining in my favourite chair like a dramatic Victorian heroine recovering from a fainting spell. Watching the endless activity in the harbour just outs...

The Art of a Well-Timed Swear

There comes a moment in life when frustration bubbles over, and the only logical response is… well, a good, solid, soul-cleansing swear word. I’m not talking about casual, everyday muttering under your breath. No, I mean that moment when nothing else will do. The kind of moment where dropping your toast butter-side down feels like an act of war, where technology conspires against you, or when you stub your toe so hard you briefly see your ancestors. Now, I was raised in a house where we had a rule: Use your words, not you hands. This was my dad’s way of preventing sibling-induced concussions, and frankly, it worked. We weren’t an inherently violent bunch, but three kids in one tiny household meant tempers flared, and so did elbows. The logic was simple—if you had time to yell, maybe you’d have time to think twice before swinging. Or at least give your victim a solid head start. This philosophy stayed with me, though in adulthood, I’ve adapted it to use a well-placed expletive now a...

The Battle-Scarred ThinkPad and the Mountain of Notebooks: A Love Story

Let’s talk about favorite writing tools. Now, I know some authors might name drop fancy apps, sleek white minimalist keyboards, or those delicate fountain pens with gold nibs that require ceremonial ink rituals … But me? My tools are a little less... romantic. A little more indestructible . And, dare I say, a little more clunky with character . Once upon a time—cue flashback shimmer—I wrote all my stories by hand . Not just a page or two, either. I mean boxes and boxes of handwritten notebooks , full of scribbles, side notes, doodles in the margins, entire character backstories I forgot existed until ten years later. My early stories were a workout for my wrist. I had pens running dry faster than a coffee pot in a newsroom. It was chaotic. It was glorious. Typing those books up? A mission. A translation project. A cryptic decoding effort worthy of Indiana Jones. There were arrows. Stars. Entire paragraphs stuffed sideways in the margins like they were trying to escape the story. So...
