Welcome to the wee town of Sillyshire, where strange happenings are giving the town’s name a run for its money. Meet our heroine, the beautiful Henrietta, who is fated to face a tragic fate at the hands of her most wicked lover, Baleful Burton, at the perilous cliff that will soon be her namesake.
Trust me, reader, you are going to want to gather around for this one.”

One true love. Under fire from all sides. They’ll need each other to escape their birdcage.
Matt’s in awe of his wife.
Feisty, intelligent, capable, and now excelling in her first executive sales position. But Jillian’s job requires long hours, and Matt can’t help but suspect an affair. Jillian’s become more suited to her impressive boss than the hapless schoolteacher she’s outgrown.
Jillian’s marriage is slipping through her fingers.
Jill loves meeting the challenges of her new job, despite the unreasonable demands of her misogynistic boss. But she needs to find the balance between being a woman, wife, mother and hard-charging Vice President. Even a patient man like Matt won’t tolerate her neglect for long.
Set in corporate Canada, The Birdcage is a fast-paced novella that will inspire you, scare you a little, and feed your heart and mind. Perfect for fans of Marian Keyes and Elin Hilderbrand.
