Author of John Cardinal mysteries morphing from crime to literary fiction. Don't wanna whine but, like they say about getting old, it ain't for sissies! No DMs.
Envoi: Go, little book, and may you shine in the hearts and minds of, well, everybody!

In 1949 the USA, assisted by Great Britain and France, established an airlift of food to Berlin, which was blockaded by the USSR. Today I wrote to Prime Minister Carney suggesting that it would do much to alleviate suffering if we organized a similar airlift to the killing floor that is Gaza.

We have so much, while others have so little--some are not even allowed to have a country--and I hope that Canadians, with elbows up but hearts open, will do everything we can to help others attain and preserve the rights and freedoms that make this land truly blessed. Happy Canada Day!

America’s wealth gap is now more extreme than it’s been in over a century. Until this structural problem is remedied, the American economy will remain perilously fragile.

My new novel is set in Saranac Lake, NY, in 1916. In the 1890s, S.L. inaugurated a winter carnival to entertain the TB patients in the sanitarium. It included a magnificent ice palace. I loved seeing it, and it ended up playing a significant role in Bad Juliet. #winterstories

This is horrific to see.
And any news organization that resorts to any sort of euphemism to describe this is absolutely failing everyone.
