I was really delighted to be asked to participate in this sale, because each book listed was nominated by a reader who loved it.

I... might have ordered too many copies of my books.

You guys have to come to @northernrainbow.bsky.social on August 23rd and buy some so I don't have to resort to finding clever ways to store them under beds and behind furniture!

And I think it'll be easier than a few weeks. I hope Manitoba gets a really good dump of rain!

Alas indeed. I feel like I've barely been outside this summer because when it hasn't been an extreme heat warning it's been an extreme air quality warning.

I tried to sit out and read on my balcony last night and ended up with a cough.

Had hoped to do a nice walk in the sunshine. But construction on Don Valley trail is not complete, even though it was supposed to be, and the wildfire smoke is so thick that I have all of my windows sealed.

Guess I'll just sit at my computer and work my way through my book admin to-do list. 🫠

What do you get when you mix a grumpy barista, a shy dragon, and a kitchen-fire meet awkward? A contemporary romantasy with the best dragon-roasted coffee in town.

The nice thing about having friends over for the Sat evening of the long weekend is that you spend the morning frantically cleaning, and then your place is clean and you don't have to feel guilty that you're just sitting around reading/writing for two days!

At least that's what I'm telling myself.

Shout out to @georgekrissa for not only being terribly good in the show, but very kind on the subway after when my Mom clocked him in his post-show civvies. (She teased that I was NEVER out of the dressing room as fast as you.)

Hope the rest of your evening was wonderful, sir!

I had the very great pleasure of getting to enjoy #natashapierreandthegreatcometof1812 at @mirvishproductions last night. The plussed-up version had all the decadent depth of the original Crows Theater production, and the performances were on point. It was thrilling.

Spent a hot day in the shade of the trees planted by my ancestors at the one room school house they attended, celebrating our 72nd annual family picnic. 103 of us showed up this year!

I got some really great shots of lightning strikes and the cloud movement during last night's storm over Toronto!

I have very cute, very wee stickers! Don't they look fantastic? Thank you to everybody who recommended @jukeboxprint, I was very impressed with the speed, the quality and the price!

If you want one of these, you're going to have to buy a paperback of NINE-TENTHS at one of my IRL appearances...

Perfect end to a wonderful weekend of hunting the perfect sundress and cheeses around the city, BBQ with friends, and making a point of not even turning my computer on.

I managed to catch the tail end of the thunderstorm that woke me up at 3:48 a.m. by cracking off a huge clap of thunder directly over my head.

I love Colin's character. I think the way his mental health struggles are portrayed feels genuine and he's a really likeable character. I found myself rooting for him pretty quickly and wanted him to get his HEA." - Clareey, GoodReads
