Well. I’ve been planning for a while to crank the engine on the blog again, but I have to say, today’s story is NOT what I’d expected to be writing about. This week, in fact, I’ve been working on an open letter, expressing horror and outrage at events unfolding in the world around us, butContinue reading “Your Help Is Needed!”

Today’s an exciting day for all of us involved in the Surrey International Writers’ Conference. Registration opens at noon — and it is CRAY-ZEE!!!

If you areContinue reading “#SiWC17 — Start Your Engines!”
Confession time…
Okay here goes. A week ago today, while on a hike up the mountain as a part of my broken-leg in rehab, I turned my back on my god of war. I have since come to regret this action. This is Tyr. You’ve met him before. Ten months old, just under 90 pounds, some growingContinue reading “Confession time…”

Mobility Update
Quick update: bionic leg on the mend. Seven weeks post-break, [six post-surgery] and I expect to get the all-clear from the surgeon this week to progress to physio. I’ve spent the down-time sleeping more than usual, writing less than usual [but still writing], reading, and taking French lessons. But as soon as the all-clear sounds,Continue reading “Mobility Update”
Hop-along kc update and a PSA for puppy owners
Update first: Breaking a leg is no fun. I do not recommend it, particularly when surgery is involved. Last Friday I became the proud new possessor of a plate, several screws and some kind of trapeze-thingy tying my broken fibula together. The surgery was not too bad, the drugs afterward were awful, but I’ve madeContinue reading “Hop-along kc update and a PSA for puppy owners”
Winter has come…
It’s been quite a week. Lots of radical tweeting, supporting artists world-wide who are taking a stand to #resist the recent political surges in religious intolerance, mysogeny and homophobia. Lots of writing on projects new and old. Lots of waiting on a project out on submission. You’d think that would be enough to keep meContinue reading “Winter has come…”
Canadian Call to Action — Refugees
I have talked to so many people lately who are frightened and bewildered by the current political climate in North America and Europe. I feel the same way — shocked and lost and gobsmacked by the way things have unfolded in the US and the UK. I took heart, however, in the astonishing Women’s MarchesContinue reading “Canadian Call to Action — Refugees”
Best Reads of 2016
I feel like talking about books. [Try not to fall over in a dead faint….] I’m putting together a list of the books I’d like to find under the tree for Christmas, and it occurs to me I’m probably missing a bunch that I’d really like. I’ve started off with Zadie Smith, Ivan Coyote, AmiContinue reading “Best Reads of 2016”
