Hello blog land! I totally disappeared there, didn't I???
It's been crazy busy in these parts with school and grads and writing stuff, and now I'm on summer holiday mode! I have some blog catching up to do, but will be travelling to Edmonton for swim championships and then off to the mountains! So blogging is on a short break!

HOW I LOST YOU has been out in the world for a while now. I had my book signing in Calgary and last week in Winnipeg. Fun! Some reviews have come in too! Check it out...
How I Lost You Reviews.
“…the
novel explores female friendships in a thought-provoking way. The paintball
plotline adds a unique angle, as does the presence of a third close friend who
happens to be a guy. There's no hurt quite like best friend hurt, and that's
something Gurtler captures well.” Booklist.
“This
is a relatable story about nurturing a friendship, and it's not every day that
teens will have the chance to read about paintballing. The lesson that Grace
learns is a good one, and the strong female characters are a plus…” School
Library Journal
“Gurtler
gracefully negotiates the powerful emotions that accompany a changing
friendship and brings the game of paintball to life with fascinating detail.” Publisher’s
Weekly
