There's always something interesting to read at the library. When I saw that someone had undertaken a study of the century-old gossip rag, "Broadway Brevities and Society Gossip," published by @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social, well, count my interest immediately piqued. Looking forward to diving in.

Make two backups, especially of any creative work. It's well worth the effort. #justincase

Wow. Toronto isn't frozen solid for the first time in . . . how many days? 😆😱 (It's February, betch, wait a few hours.)

The coldest days bring the bluest skies. Have to get up from my desk and go out once in a while.

Yay! Fake outrage!

I inherited some Brandstetter books about 25 years ago when a friend was doing a major clear-out before an apartment move. Sunk into Fadeout one evening and didn't come up for air until the next morning. Brilliant stuff.

Just a bit of snow fell in Toronto. 😁

The beauty of the dining room table is I can spread out whilst writing in longhand.

You want to read a realistic presentation of what happens after the end of the world as it’s currently being drawn up? I wrote a pretty good one. You can get it most places, on e-book too, and Hoopla has it now.

Salty.

Make a Bond film casual.

DR. WELL... PERHAPS... LET'S THINK ABOUT IT

This little publishing house project of mine is coming along nicely. One title down, two to go to finish the proof-of-concept. I've also read a couple of great stories by writer friends that I may want to add to the upcoming first year of my publishing program.

Whether I'm at home or in a neighbourhood café, there always reading, writing, and editing on the table. @glreview.bsky.social

It just frigging opened!

Took seven years to place this little bugger. Glad that it finally found a fab home.

I wonder if the follow-up question is meant to be a (near-)mockery of "writer" as a medical condition . . . ?

Mr. Jones! Mr. Jones! Frankie and Perry just aren't in it. You're my swooner dreamboat lover boy!

Bugs was, literally, my first drag queen. Still the champ!

What, did they bribe him with some more gold? I can't keep track now.

It's Krampusnacht, y'all. Remember to be good or Krampus will swat your wicked bottom!

I once asked my father if he wanted some of Gretzky's Cardboardeaux and he shot back, "Conservative wine? Fuck right off with that."

I am. I think a bot did the like, then it disappeared. One like, but no name. So... bug report!

Specs: 24pp black print on satin finish paper, full colour outer and inner cover printing. Contains the short story "Tsunami" plus a short commentary on the story's origin.

The production edition will go on sale, along with two other chapbooks of my work, in February 2026 when I formally launch October Park Editions. I'm look forward to opening for short story submissions in the near future.

Now that November's Drunk Fiction event is over, there is still a stack of my debut chapbook available: signed, numbered test print editions which will go out of print when they're gone. DM me if you'd like one. $10 all in, mailed within Canada, $15 outside. (Why more? It's the postage, dear!)

This Tuesday. Come join us, eh?

Introducing October Park Editions. Test print run of the "Tsunami" chapbook for my new micropress came in this week. This project is the culmination of years of learning, observing, experiencing, experimenting, risking, and navigating steep learning curves. Launching three titles in February '26.
