Pre-orders are now available at Ottawa Press and Publishing. The book features 21 short stories, all located in the nation's capital. It's a unique gift and great reading for the fall and winter. www.ottawapressandpublishing.com

The inaugural St. Lawrence Writers Festival in Brockville was a resounding success! Thank you to my fellow panelists Katie Tallo and John Delacourte, and Don Butler for moderating so deftly. Also a huge thanks to the volunteers.

Delighted to have a story in the upcoming Ottawa mystery anthology, A Capital Mystery, sponsored by Crime Writers of Canada and Capital Crime Writers. I am pumped to be among such fine crime/mystery authors such as @brendachapman.bsky.social. Coming October 15 from Ottawa Press and Publishing.
