A few thoughts to catch up on…

Three months away from the 1st anniversary of the publishing of my premier novel, Like a Child to Home, I think I have settled in to the soft and gentle pleasures to be found in occasionally promoting and going about trying to interest people into taking a look at my work of fiction.

My recent reading at the Courtenay Branch of the Vancouver Island Regional Library as well as the books availability with VIRL were both satisfying accomplishments.

I am immersed in creating my prequel to LACTH, Drawn towards the Sun.

One consistent support I have found as a new author, and would like to mention here, is Susan Toy’s Reading Recommendation blog. Ms. Toy’s reliable and selfless support of authors has been inspiring. Here is a recent list of writers she has helped promote. You may find some as yet undiscovered reading pleasure if you check it out.

On a personal poetic note, one of my poems, Kitchen Sailing, was printed in the commemorative Spring 2014 issue of WordWorks, the Literary Magazine of the Federation of British Columbia Writers.

Another poem, Japandemonium, is scheduled to be published in a forthcoming e-book anthology, “Words Fly Away: Poems for Fukushima.”

Well, enough about me. It’s time to go chop some wood for next winter’s warmth
