About

When I was a girl, I thought I would become an architect. An interior designer. A sports reporter. A physio-therapist. Even a coroner (during theQuincy TV show era).

Never in a million years, did I expect to end up working in computers (though, looking back, she did have a thing for The Twilight Zone).

After graduating university with a journalism degree, I got a job as an advertising copywriter—only to lose it a couple of years later due to the economic recession of the early 1990s.

Determined to keep writing, I picked up random writing jobs (translation: writing about rakes and power tools for Canadian Tire store flyers and catalogs), until I applied for a full-time posting as a technology publicist/writer. It didn’t matter that I knew nothing about technology. I could learn (I needed the money). And learn I did, working on agency accounts over the years, like Dell, Lexmark, NEC and AT&T.

After getting married and having two amazing children, I established her own boutique agency, working on other accounts like Compaq, Microsoft, Palm and Symantec.

I also returned to my journalistic roots and began writing about lifestyle issues, architecture and design for magazines and newspapers, including Chatelaine, Style at Home, Canadian House & Home and The Globe and Mail.

Inspired to marry my two worlds in 2004, I pitched one of her magazine editors on a feature article that would educate mainstream women on technology (complete with a fun, sexy Cosmo-like quiz).

Rejected and dismayed, I turned the article concept into a novel, now known as Opportunity Rings, to empower women to do anything, even if that means installing a wireless network.

I still write about women and technology, architecture and design from my home office – while juggling meal preparation, helping my kids with homework and getting them to/from school, hockey, baseball, swimming and karate – with my smartphone and laptop permanently attached to my hip.

<p>New from the author of the multiple award-winning fantasy saga, <em>The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky</em>, winner of the <strong>Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Fall 2014 - Best Book in the Category of FANTASY</strong>....</p><h1><strong><em>The Children of Darkness</em> by David Litwack</strong></h1><p>Evolved Publishing presents the first book in the new dystopian series <em>The Seekers</em>. [DRM-Free]</p><h2><strong>[Dystopian, Science Fiction, Post-Apocalyptic, Religion]</strong></h2><p><em>“But what are we without dreams?”</em></p><p>A thousand years ago the Darkness came—a terrible time of violence, fear, and social collapse when technology ran rampant. But the vicars of the Temple of Light brought peace, ushering in an era of blessed simplicity. For ten centuries they have kept the madness at bay with “temple magic,” and by eliminating forever the rush of progress that nearly caused the destruction of everything.</p><p>Childhood friends, Orah and Nathaniel, have always lived in the tiny village of Little Pond, longing for more from life but unwilling to challenge the rigid status quo. When their friend Thomas returns from the Temple after his “teaching”—the secret coming-of-age ritual that binds young men and women eternally to the Light—they barely recognize the broken and brooding young man the boy has become. Then when Orah is summoned as well, Nathaniel follows in a foolhardy attempt to save her.</p><p>In the prisons of Temple City, they discover a terrible secret that launches the three on a journey to find the forbidden keep, placing their lives in jeopardy, for a truth from the past awaits that threatens the foundation of the Temple. If they reveal that truth, they might once again release the potential of their people.</p><p>Yet they would also incur the Temple’s wrath as it is written: “If there comes among you a prophet saying, ‘Let us return to the darkness,’ you shall stone him, because he has sought to thrust you away from the Light.”</p><p><strong>Be sure to read the second book in this series, <em>The Stuff of Stars</em>, due to release November 30, 2015.
