I don’t tap into my own suffering to build my stories, but my suffering, as well as my victories, inform them…along with all the arcane knowledge I’ve picked up along the way.

There’s a place for AI in our world, but not in creative writing. How can anyone call themselves a writer if AI does the work for them? I guess I’m too old to understand that frame of mind.

Dear readers, just a reminder that my novel, Still Life of a Salesman, is available as an ebook for Free. It’s the true story (mostly) of my father’s life.

🖋️📚 I’m editing my latest novel. Always an exciting process for me. No major structural issues now, just ‘pushing the commas around.’

I lived in Alberta for a long time. I'm ashamed of what it's become. Smith's party is Not a Conservative Party. It's a MAGA party. It's an insult to real conservatives that they've appropriated that word, and are preventing the real C party from using the word Conservative. Shame.

🖋️📚 Hi readers. For the next week or so, I'm offering the eBook of 'Still Life of a Salesman' for free. Download directly from my website. If you like it, you can let me know, or just tell all your reading friends. Thanks so much.

Recently, I've wondered if I'm being foolish or selfish or misguided by continuing to write novels for people to enjoy, while the world is on fire. Obsession is a strange beast.

💙📚🖋️ If you are looking for some relief from today's mad world, here are a couple of novels to distract.

📚💙 I'm a Canadian novelist, new to bluesky. I'm looking forward to engaging with the writing community, and other concerned citizens of the world. Stay safe out there.
