Rogue wolves, love-struck cowboys, & a cattle drive awaits Susie Stetler as she steps into an unwanted summer in the mountains with her grandmother & eight-year old step-brother.

In the end, Susie must make a life-altering decision, one that if she’s wrong, could cost her grandmother and step-brother their lives.

New Releases – Just for Kids!

October 1, 2025October 1, 2025 / runningl / Leave a comment

Due to some major health issues, I haven’t been able to complete the new novels I’ve been working on but as part of my therapy (I suffered a series of small strokes and am working my way back) I took some more of my short stories I used in my storytelling sessions in my elementary school programs and turned them into children’s illustrated bedtime stories with bonus coloring pages. While the images are AI generated, the stories are all my own words.

Check out my new release pages to see all three at https://runninglproductions.com/new-release-coming-soon/

Also, due to the Canada Post Postal strike I am unable to ship individual signed copies off until the strike is over. Couriers are price prohibitive.

New story book based on The Red Princess

April 7, 2025April 7, 2025 / runningl / Leave a comment

I decided to try out AI for images based on one of my short stories: The Red Princess: The Land of Ice & Snow. I was quite impressed with what I got from Artistry.AI. The result was the creation of The Red Princess: The Quest or Color Ages 3 -5, a condensed version for little kids with coloring pages in the back.

Here is the cover:

Middle Grade books you love

I was asked by Shepherd.com if I wanted to share a list of my favorite Middle Grade books I love because of writing my own Middle Grade series: The Holiday Series. I was thrilled to do so.

Audio books for a holiday read

October 12, 2024 / runningl / Leave a comment

We used to spend every holiday stuck in traffic at the B.C. Ferries terminal or stuck in their parking log. I think we spent more time there than with family. Now we stay home for Thanksgiving and enjoy life on the island. We enjoy walks on the beach and time to relax and read or listen to audio books.

If you’re looking for an audio book, then check out my audio books for children, middle grade, and adult listeners: In Canada on Audible or in the USA on Audible. They are also available on Amazon world wide.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all.

Fall is here… It’s time for you!

September 10, 2024 / runningl / Leave a comment

The kids are back to school which means it’s time for you! Whether you’re a senior like me who loves to travel and camp in the Fall or it’s finally time for you to get some ‘me’ time, it’s definitely all about catching up on reading. I have a number of books I’m taking out traveling with me from paranormal romances to some cozy murder mysteries or thrillers. I love CeeCee James, Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Janet Evanovich, C.N. Crawford, and many more. My tastes are pretty varied.

On my own front, I have a bunch of freebies coming our for fall. You can check them out here on my Events & Promotions page.

Happy Easter to All

Well it’s Easter Sunday and I am enjoying a wonderful family weekend. It’s a sunny day here on Vancouver Island. My hope is that is sunny in your part of the world too. Enjoy the day.
