Free Book Friday Sept 9: No interviews but plenty o’ promos!

Yesterday, the UK lost their Queen. In a way, the whole world lost a Queen. I don't remember ever not having the Queen in the world. Growing up in Canada, she was always a presence, on our money, hung up in important places, involved in our government. She visited Canada more than any other country … Continue reading Free Book Friday Sept 9: No interviews but plenty o’ promos!

Weird Wednesday: First day of school.

Not for me. Those days are way behind me, although I have had many. First day of nursery school (Pre-K they call it now). I came home and said I didn't want to go anymore because all they did was play and I wanted to learn stuff. First day of Kindergarten. My teacher was either … Continue reading Weird Wednesday: First day of school.

Tuesday Tidbits: Not so seriously, folks.

"OK. They're kinda funny." I discovered that sometimes Amazon will print paperback copies and if they don't sell them, they'll want to get rid of them. So, their miscalculation of the popularity of my book, The View from Here, is your gain.

Thursday Thoughts: No Guarantees

I sold my vehicle last week. It was eight years old but only had 70000 km (~43000 miles) on it. The fuel economy was decent for a 6-cylinder engine, but with the rising prices for gas (they kinda started coming down a bit), it was a factor in deciding to sell. The other factor was … Continue reading Thursday Thoughts: No Guarantees
