Into the Homestretch
Today I wrap up my five-part blog series about my drive across Canada during the pandemic.
In the Centre of Canada
At the midpoint of our drive across Canada, Will and I tackled the Dryden moose and the Manitoba border patrol
Across Canada During the Pandemic
Today is the second installment of my blog post about my five day drive last week from Ottawa to Calgary. I’ve done this route four times before. COVID-19 made it different.
Music Soothes Me in Troubled Times
I was on the road when my monthly blog post on my publisher’s website went live and missed posting this link. I write about how my choir manages to connect during this time of social distancing. (I had to scroll up to see the post)
“Pandemic,” my short story
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) got me thinking about my short story, “Pandemic.” I wrote the 12,000 word story 10 years ago, but it was never published. COVID-19 has inspired me to revise “Pandemic.” I find the process helps me put our current crisis into perspective. I write about this in today’s BWL author blog.
Winterlude
Today I write about my visit to Ottawa’s Winterlude this year on the BWL Author BlogSpot.
Print(ed) Word Documentary
On Friday, the Calgary central library launched the Print(ed) Word documentary to a celebratory audience. In the film, the twelve artist/writer partners talked about their experiences with this collaborative project. I’m proud to be part of it. My partner, Sylvia Arthur, did a great job of turning my short story, When a Warm Wind Blows Off the Mountains, into an art book. All twelve books are on permanent display in the central library, housed in an alcove off the 4th floor Great Reading Room. For a taste of the works, have a look at the documentary movie trailer.

My End of Decade List
For January on the BWL Author Blog. I talk about five changes in my writing life during the past decade, from January 2010 to January 2020.
Happy New Year
New year’s is a time of wrap-ups for the year we’re leaving. It’s also the season for the best-of-the-year competitions. My publisher suggested we enter our 2019 novels in the 22nd Annual Critters’ Readers Poll. As winners of the People’s Choice TV awards always say, it means the most to be chosen by the people rather than the critics or those with a vested interest in who wins.
I entered To Catch a Fox in the Critters’ Novels (All other genres) published in 2019 category. Voting is easy. Click the circle for your favourite book, then fill in the next few boxes and submit. I’d love it you want to help my book find new readers.
My very best to you for a happy and healthy 2020, sprinkled with new adventures.
