Yukon Winter, the first full novel by Vicki and Lynn Beau has been released. We think it is a book that will make you want to take an icy February walk with your sweetie, then curl up with a cuppa something warm and cannoddle. Love seems to be a forgotten art. Bring it back to life.

For us, now that the writing is done, we are missing our main characters in our lives, the times they woke us up just to sit on the end of the bed and tell us where we as writers were deviating from their plan. It was fun, exhausting and most of all exciting. Imaging us, 1000’s of miles/or Canadian kilometers apart, crawling out of bed, mindful of a 3 hour time shift, in the morning, saying to each other, Wes thinks we’re missing a main element…or Jackson doesn’t understand why… well, you get the picture.  Those heady days are over. Now we are in the nitty gritty of working with Flash Point Publications to get this book into the hands of people who would enjoy it. It’s hard to believe and definitely harder than writing. The whole process is baffling at least to the mother of this dynamic duo, so our solution, keep writing. We love our team. This week, I have asked Lynn to comment on what it was like to write with her Mother.  Apparently she was waiting to be asked because moments later, I had her thoughts. Thanks Lynn, I only blushed once reading your words. Find them below:

“Working on this book with my mother was a cumulation of a promise we made to each other when I was I still in elementary school that we would one day write a novel together. The experience of writing a romance together brought us closer together and created many amusing moments I would never have imagined happening with my mother. As a direct result of this project, I have a lengthy email thread where we take turns describing Cum in detail, smell flavor, viscosity. Our goal was to come up with a description never before seen in romance. After days of going back and forth we eventually decided  it would not enhance our book in any way. It was gone but not forgotten.  Another memory happened during one of our rare moments of being together, writing at my remote cabin during a Covid19 lockdown.  I was doing my best to convince her that a particular position was indeed possible. We had a pair of willing Ken dolls helping us and they were not cooperating.  My effort to convince her ending up looking like a strange game of vertical twister. We were laughing so hard, we  eventually fell in a heap narrowly missing the blazing wood stove. It was sheer luck that no authors were harmed in the writing of this book. The Ken dolls discovered a mutual interest in snowshoeing and spent very little time in the cabin with us after that. Not all of our writing experiences were so memorable, but I think I can speak for both of us to say, it was a happy time in our lives. I’m looking forward to recreating some of those conversations with Yukon Spring as we pull it together.”

Random Yukon Fact:    The Old Farmers Almanac has predicted a warmer than usual winter for 2024/25, with less snow than usual. So far my family has said this winter has had its moments but it has not been typical Yukon weather. In balmy southern Ontario, we have had more snow and icy weather than in years. We aren’t sure if it is just the Canadian weather scene or global climate change. Check the Farmers Almanac Report here.
