I am Canadian born but reside seaside in California where summers are truly endless and strolling on sandy dunes in salty morning fog is a writer's great medicine restoring clarity so one can boil over a laptop's qwerty keys later~ I have authored four published novels, JAGUAR RAVENZ KING, ROLLINS OF STONE HOUSE, SNOW SIZZLING IN SOLEIL and FACE (Wisehouse Publishing elementa-selection.com and amazon.com/author/jlskirvin101. I currently have one complete manuscript awaiting galley edits plus two additional titles (one children's book) in progress. I have reviewed many works on Amazon. Two of my titles recently received recognition; FACE 'Finalist' Bookvana Award 2016 - Visionary category and SNOW SIZZLING IN SOLEIL 'Finalist' Bookvana Award 2016 - Young Adult category.
