Just completed Firebrand, a screenplay from my novel The Town Slut’s Daughter.

Runaway from rural Canada → punk icon in ’80s L.A. → everything she builds threatened by music, sex & violence.

Looking for agents/producers to help bring it to life. Leads/advice welcome.

I can’t contain the news any longer! Amidst all the madness in this world, I’m thrilled to announce that my fourth poetry collection, 'Cariboo Ashes,' has found a home with the brilliant team at Anvil Press.

Prescient or what. Zealots have always creeped me out. The pendulum will swing the other way again, hopefully sooner than later. In the meantime, hold fast my pretties!

'Phainting' by Tina Schliessler. Also served as the cover for an AURAL Heather album.

Brawny and burning with longing, Sideways hits the blacktop with women in control—riot grrrls, mall gangstas, heartbreak and heat on the horizon. The past haunts. The future beckons. Haley’s world swerves, crashes, and won’t let go.

Wow, time flies and the bird is on the wing! But some things never change: Billeh is still brilliant and poetry still saves me. Happy Throwback Thursday my pretties! 💕

Still buzzing! After years of connecting virtually, I finally met the fabulous, fascinating Bibbe Hansen in person—and we even shared the stage! At Great Weather for Media in NYC.

My mother, in the middle. What am I holding; a candle? A wand? Taken in Charleswood, MB, back when coffee tables were laden with ashtrays and doilies. I loved my mother though she wasn't easy to love. Childhood had warped her but we survived the generational abuse, just as she had. #MothersDay

Among the spines and stories that shaped me—still here, still writing, still daring to hope after the storm, and relieved after the election. Wishing love and light to my fellow Canucks. Have a wonderful weekend.

VOTE AGAINST HATE. The neanderthals. This is a fight for our identity!
Vote against the rise of far right populism, disinformation, the erosion of democratic norms. A Poilievre-led, maple MAGA Canada aligned with an authoritarian U.S.regime is terrifying!

BRING YOUR KITE AND FLY IT.
I wonder if it works with drones. Denise Levertov—a poet whose language marched, mourned, and moved people to action. People are still refusing silence, submission. The sky’s wide, the wind’s still blowing. Keep The Movement rising.

Woo hoo! Exciting milestone: I’ve completed the first draft of the screenplay adaptation of my novel, The Town Slut’s Daughter. There’s interest from a film producer—via a friend-of-a-friend—who’s requested to read it. I’m not holding my breath, but I am hopeful and excited for whatever comes next.
