…rocks! Had a lovely visit there the other day. This is a shot of the amazing bulletin board teacher-librarian Kelly Boyd had waiting for me, along with a young fan [and aspiring writer] named Dylan. Dylan was also responsible for giving me a Very Cool thank you card in the shape of a lighthouse, fashionedContinue reading “Summerside Intermediate…”

The Prince Edward Island tour continues — having a marvellous time here and feeling very welcomed by all the schools, teachers, librarians, book stores and students I’ve met. Thank you all for the warm reception. [But not the weather…. I am writing this now as the sleet fires needles against my window, sealing an icyContinue reading “Resources for Young Writers”

So, it looks like my future as a best-selling time-travel author in China is pretty much toasted. Just this week China Hush reports that time travel stories are now officially deemed disrespectful to history, and are no longer acceptable. Read more HERE. In the meantime… Having a great time as the #kcdyerbooktour continues through PrinceContinue reading “Looks Like China’s Out…”

I’m getting ready to head off on a wee tour of Prince Edward Island, followed by a bit of off-the-grid r&r, so things are getting pretty crazy around here. I still have room to fit a last minute school visit or two in on the Island, so please email me if you’d like to seeContinue reading “Tour Prep…”

A wee followup post here, as I was [at last!] able to upload my supermoon pix, and got a couple that pleased me. [Rant alert: My poor broken camera’s repair estimate just came in …at about $200 more than it will cost to replace the camera. This makes me CRAZY. Why can’t we fix thingsContinue reading “Flying Back to the [Super]Moon…”

…this one via twitter, specially dedicated to my friend A Novel Woman, as this flashmob is in her town of Montreal. Fist in the air for recycling!   More soon, of course… ~kc

…been meaning to put this astonishing clip up, but since the embedding is disabled, I kept forgetting. You know when Terry Jones is involved, the result is bound to be …unique! Here’s the link, though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23qDl1aH9l4 Well worth a watch! More soon…   ~kc

Oh, try not to look so startled… !I know this isn’t the usual thing, but you’ll get used to it soon enough.   Or that’s what I keep telling myself… Yep. Have taken the trek back into the world of contact lenses. A new thing for me — they’ve got these lenses now that willContinue reading “Eye think it’s time to make contact…”
