Hi Aberjhani:

Thank you for adding Whale Song to the widget! And for the text below it. :)

If you'd like to add my other two, they are Divine Intervention and The River. (Add "tardif' after the title when searching for them and they'll come up faster. lol)

And I hope that sometime in the next 6 months I'll be able to announce a new release. I'm working on a possible deal now. :)

Hello Cheryl--
We're checking out new ways to enhance the CTI experience through some new associations. Since you have several books out, we should be able to feature all of those on Amazon on a widget like this one, which for now includes only Whale Song:

Congratulations on your CTI Spotlight deal. I'm starting to learn that being a writer in the spotlight can be fun and challenging at the same time. I hope you get a chance to check out my story in the Savannah Morning News. There's a link to it in my last blog.

More About Me and My World
I am a Canadian suspense author with 3 novels published. Two are Amazon bestsellers--Whale Song and Divine Intervention. I enjoy writing novels that explore our deepest fears and make people think. If I don't leave you feeling some emotion--fear, excitement, sorrow, happiness or hopefulness--then I haven't done my job.

I hope you'll check out my novels:

Whale Song is a compelling novel about family ties, love, tragedy, sacrifice and transformation that will change the way you view life...and death. Whale Song makes a perfect gift for any special woman or girl in your life--especially mothers and daughters.

Buy Whale Song.

Divine Intervention is for anyone who enjoys a good mystery and those who love to solve the crime. Likened to J.D. Robb and Kay Hooper's series. Divine Intervention is a novel of paranormal suspense, perfect for those addicted to TV shows like CSI, Medium or Ghost Whisperer.

The River will take you on a terrifying journey that explores stem cell research and a deadly conspiracy. Likened to works by Michael Crichton, Dean Koontz and Dan Brown, The River leaves you with a powerful message. How far have we gone with our science and technology until we've become God?

I invite you to check out my novels. Visit my website and please sign my guestbook. :)

Whale Song - the movie?

When I imagine Whale Song as a major motion picture, I smell hot buttered popcorn. Really. If I close my eyes and picture a scene from my novel being played out on a big screen, I can almost TASTE the popcorn.

I've even gone so far in my little fantasy to imagine the conversati… Continue

“What’s Your Book Club Looking For?”

Canadian Author Cheryl Kaye Tardif wants to know-


What’s Your Book Club Looking For?


As a suspense author, I’m often asked whether any of my books are suitable for book clubs, and I usually answer with: “Definitely! But which one depends on what your book club is looking for.” So what can I offer to a book club?

1. Membership at CTI is free and open to all those interested in either the production or appreciation of the creative arts, to include literature, visual art, dance, music, film, spiritual theory, the social sciences, philosophy, general humanities, scientific inquiry, education in general, and other disciplines intended to enhance the quality of life for all humanity.

2. Materials posted by Members of CTI are their sole responsibility and not that of CTI management or any other member of the CTI site.

3. While recognizing that the work of creative artists is often controversial by its very nature, CTI prohibits and discourages the posting of any overtly obscene and intentionally inflammatory material. These include overt pornography, racist diatribes, religious slander, and any postings promoting discrimination against or the oppression of other human beings.

4. In the interest of stimulating creative growth, we encourage dialogue and even debate. However, Members should avoid leaving intentionally offensive or antagonistic remarks on the pages of Fellow Members. We can disagree and still remain a harmonious community.

5. Explore, grow, share, and enjoy your creative success.

Please remember, these guidelines are likely to evolve as the site itself continues to evolve and develop. We welcome and encourage your input. After all, yours are some of the best minds on the planet so we would be very foolish not to listen to what you have to say.
