A Special Thank You from Author Jessica E. Subject

Hello! Today is a special day for me. I'm celebrating four years published. Okay, so I'm also celebrating Canada Day with the rest of my country, and a new release. The first was a happy coincidence, and the second planned.

But, I'm here to say thank you. Thank you to my readers for taking a chance on a new author back in 2011. And thank you to the readers who continue to do so. Your constructive criticism helps me to grow, and your kind words give me so much encouragement.

Thank you to all the bloggers and other authors who have supported me in my journey, by providing blog space, sharing my posts, giving me advice, traveling with me, rooming with me, and simply for being my friend. It's such a wonderful thing to make personal connections with others in this industry.

Thank you to my fabulous critique partners, some I had long before I was published. Your wisdom and straightforwardness prepared me for the road ahead. I know that my stories aren't perfect, and you show me how to make them better.

Thank you to the wonderful editors at Decadent and elsewhere that I've worked with. Not only do you polish my stories up and make them shine, but you've all taught me so much.

Thank you to Decadent Publishing for taking a chance on my story about an alien who wanted to experience love. And thank you for taking many more chances on me after that. I am honored to be a part of the team.

Thank you to friends and family, some who are no longer with us, who always ask about how my writing is coming along. That simple question means so much.

And thank you to my husband and children for your support, your patience, and your love.

Fun Facts about the Capital of Canada

by Jessica E. Subject

Hello everyone! Later this month I’ll be traveling to the capital of Canada (Ottawa) for the first Romancing the Capital conference hosted by Eve Langlais. I am also celebrating the release of my second 1Night Stand story set in Ottawa. Therefore, I thought I’d share some fun and interesting facts about the capital....

1. Ottawa is Canada’s capitol and fourth largest city in the country, nestled between the two largest populations (Toronto and Montreal), and was originally called Bytown named for Colonel John By, the engineer who oversaw construction of the Rideau Canal. In 1855 Bytown was incorporated and became Ottawa.

2. The name Ottawa comes from the Algonquin word adawe – which means to trade.

3. Ottawa is the seventh coldest capital in the world. Others that are colder include Ulaan-Baatar in Mongolia, Astana in Kazakhastan, Moscow, Russia, Helsinki in Finland, Reykjavik, Iceland and Tallin in Estonia.

4. There are 35 major festivals in Ottawa. The Canadian Tulip Festival, held every May, is one of the most famous.

5. Ottawa boasts a UNESCO World heritage site – the Rideau Canal. It is the best preserved example of a slackwater canal built in North America. It remains operational along its original line with most of the structures from the early nineteenth century still intact. The Rideau Canal becomes a 7.8 kilometer (4.7 miles) skating rink through downtown Ottawa during the winter months.

6. Ottawa is home to 14 National Museums – Canadian Museum of Civilization, Canadian Children’s Museum, Canadian Postal Museum, The National Gallery of Canada, Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography, Laurier House, Royal Canadian Mint, Library and Archives Canada, Currency Museum of the Bank of Canada, Canadian Museum of Nature, Canadian War Museum, Canadian Science and Technology Museum, and the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum.

7. The Château Laurier Hotel is said to be haunted by the ghost of Charles Melville Hays, the president of the company that built the hotel. Hays died on the Titanic twelve days before the hotel's opening.

8. Ottawa is home to the National Hockey League (NHL) team, The Senators. GO, SENS, GO!

9. The Giant Tiger located in the Byward Market is the ORIGINAL Giant Tiger. In Canada, the GT Boutique is a well know discount store.

10. Parliament Hill is not only one of the most popular tourist attractions in Ottawa with all the government buildings, it is also used to host a sanctuary for stray cats.

Her Alien Hero
