Saw @realgdt.bsky.social’s FRANKENSTEIN on IMAX the other night & still thinking about it. Beautiful, moving, epic with some delightfully funny moments. The audience in my theatre applauded at the end! Also everyone who said I’d cry clearly knows me well! If you can catch it on the big screen DO IT❤️

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a new mRNA vaccine that has been shown to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, offering hope to MILLIONS of patients with age-related vision loss. The vaccine triggered strong antibody responses that REDUCED retinal damage by UP TO 85%.

Oh this is seriously cool! CBC Books has included GHOST CIRCUS👻🎪 in their "13 Canadian books to read with your kids this Halloween" article! I am thrilled and, quite frankly, honoured it is part of such a fantastic list!

It’s fascinating how every new novel I write comes with brand new and exciting ways to torture me. My latest WIP is working against me so hard that I can only assume it really loves my company and that’s why it doesn’t want the experience to end! Flattering but come on!!

It’s 50 years of JAWS, and a great time to remind y’all that a real life lady scientist fought her whole life to show people that sharks were not maneating monsters, & instead that they were beautiful, intelligent creatures - worthy of our love.
And bonus: you can buy a book about her today!
