#HBD to Michael Connelly and Ernest Hemingway. Tough, stoic heroes. Lean, cogent sentences. Great novels. Same birthday. I'll keep reading and rereading these two for the rest of my life.

I've finished Presidio Biotech, which will launch in early 2026. Something new for me: it's set in 2024 rather than the '60s. I’ve stuck with the Spracklin family, as the hero is Jake Spracklin, Jimmy’s grandson.

A Forgotten Gem of Canadian Culture — Peter Moreira - Author of The Haight Mystery Series There’s never been a more resounding display of Canadian classic rock than the performance of “Acadian Driftwood” at The Last Waltz. Sadly, it’s been all but forgotten.

As Canada Day approaches, I've blogged about a forgotten gem of Canadian #classicrock: The Band, #JoniMitchell and #NeilYoung singing about Canadian history at an iconic rock concert. shorturl.at/IsvI7

On a completely unrelated note, my son is planning to visit Spain next year and I'm encouraging him to visit Ronda. I started describing it and went on a long ramble about the cliffs, the former inquisition chamber where the papers were delivered, and John Hemingway's talk. What a magical week.

Thanks Wayne. That's really kind of you. People who have reread these books must be a pretty rare bunch. I really appreciate this.

‘This is a fantastic series. I read them all in a day or two!!’

I had a great time Thursday presenting our startup data at the launch of the 2025 Halifax Index. It was doubly kind of Halifax Partnership Chief Economist Ian Munro to plug THE HAIGHT and Donnalee Moulton’s novel BIND at the end.

Is The Poet Michael Connelly's best novel? I'd give that title to one of the Bosch books. But because of its depth, breadth and complexity, it holds a unique place in the Connelly canon, as I discuss in this review: shorturl.at/stCS4

#TBT: Two years ago, my wife, son and I visited Coit Tower in San Francisco, whose halls are lined with wonderful murals from the 1930s. This is a detail from one showing urban life. I’d love to use it for a book cover one day.

I first got there in January 1981. It was less touristy than it is now. I've always loved it there.
