…and on this night, there is only one thing to do.   Adam?     Happy Hanukkah!   More soon…   ~kc  

I’ve just started up a new newsletter, exploring all that’s interesting and weird in the kc dyer universe. It’ll have this picture on the top, and should be arriving in inboxes over the next day or two. There is an unsubscribe button, so if you DON’T want it, it’s easy enough to eliminate with aContinue reading “Something New…”

                            I’ve gotta couple of friends who have jumped in to the facial hair extravaganza of Movember — the month to grow a ‘stache for prostate research.       Dan Wagstaff used to be my publicist at Dundurn in long-ago days,Continue reading “Movember…”

Today I read a blog post put up by writer James Scott Bell who was a feature presenter at the Surrey International Writers’ Conference this year. He, like the rest of us present at the conference, got to listen to the very entertaining writer Arthur Slade, as he lauded the concept and useage of theContinue reading “Still walking…”

You know you’ve made it in today’s world when the powers that be decide you should have an action figure. I mean — Batman’s got one, Buffy’s got one — even Edgar Allan Poe has one, complete with raven.

                  Amazing pre-winter storm here today, with big winds, driving rain and hail. But the day finished in sunshine — enough to melt the 3″ of hail on my driveway, anyway. This beautiful sunset [unfortunately taken on my iPhone, so not great quality] shows the sun settingContinue reading “Writing….you?”

It has been an amazing couple of days for me, reading about these people, about their children and their wives, husbands and loving families. What they did when they weren’t in uniform. I hope you join me in this celebrationContinue reading “Remember…part the final, for now.”

    A continuation of the previous post. Canada has lost 152 soldiers and service people and a Canadian diplomat in the war in Afghanistan. Have a name I’ve missed or a correction to give me? Please let me know…   Master Corporal Chris Stannix, 24, from Dartmouth, died in April of 2007 with sixContinue reading “Remember…part two”

So, anyone who reads this blog knows I make my living writing historical fiction. When I go out to schools, I talk to the kids I meet about bringing history to life, and try to do so through story-telling. The hardest thing to get through to them is that history is being made every momentContinue reading “Remember…”

Good? Moi aussi. The sun was shining here today, and as the day ended, we had an absolutely brilliant moonrise. I just caught the end of it here…   Pretty sure you can’t see it in this shot, but the fingernail edge of the moon burned with sunset fire and cast a glow on theContinue reading “How are you?”
