Grateful to the Montreal Review of Books for the review of my novel, Colours in Her Hands. Thank you to James Ivison for his generous appreciation of Mina who has #downsyndrome.

An excellent review of my new novel, Colours in Her Hands, at Winnipeg Free Press! The title is perfect: "Protagonist more than her intellectual disability". As those of you who have read the novel know, Mina is SO MUCH MORE. A very warm thank you to @winnipegfreepress.com

If you're travelling a great distance, try the train. Take a sleeper. Feel how you're moving across the ground. Relax. From Winnipeg to Toronto = 38 hours, 1500 km or 930 miles. While on the train I found out that distance in train lingo is ALWAYS measured in miles, even though Canada uses metric.

Photos of Sharon Berg on the left and Alice Zorn on the right. The cover of Alice's book is in the middle. Underneath is a quote from the interview Sharon did with Alice about her book. "[T]here is no novel in English about a middle-aged person who has Down Syndrome. There are novels about parenting a child with Down Syndrome, but they're about the parents. Occasionally I've come across a cameo appearance of a character with Down Syndrome, but it's brief. I wanted Mina's presence in the novel to be front stage centre, even if the novel wasn't going to be all about her. I also wanted to write about an older adult where the question of continued autonomy arises."
