In response to an email request from a reader, here is a map of Kenwood, the ficticious suburb just outside Victoria, BC where the StableMates novels are set. In real life, this is similar to the area of Cordova Bay north of Mattick's Farm and south of Dooley. The quality of this image isn't great, but all the new editions of the StableMates novels (the series now has seven books...) include a copy of this map. Thanks for asking!

And here's me... about as formal as I ever get.  

Formal nights aboard the ship were lots of fun. Here's Dani in all her finery making the oh-so-tough decision 'Chocolate sauce, or no chocolate sauce on the Baked Alaska...' 

Saw tons (literally!) of ice on the trip... but under clear, blue skies... couldn't have asked for better weather. Actually suffered from heat stroke one day! 

Skagway's friendliest resident... Seen here at the local watering hole.  

Made it! Here's a photo of me in front of my temporary home up in Alaska. Dani and I had a really great time and enjoyed a complete and total break from the crazy schedule back at our land-based home. Read 'Ida B' while away and highly recommend it!
