Sometimes dreams do come true. I’ve loved books and bookstores and libraries since I was a wee kiddo, and I dreamed that one day maybe I could make something that would be on the shelves. Grateful and proud to be an author and editor with two book babes 🤩📚

Closing the loop on a donations promise. I committed to donate $2 per book sold, when I sell author copies of my poetry book, Attic Rain, at events. Poetry isn't a giant money-maker, but I'm glad to share some of the proceeds with others.

Holy crap! Congrats on this achievement.
456,365 #ForeverCanadian signatures (plus few dozen last minute arrivals). I’m told it’s the biggest petition in Canada’s history.
None of this would happen if not for thousands of volunteers and your love for Canada.🇨🇦
Thank you! This is Alberta’s and Canada’s victory.

Premier Smith introduced a bill to strip Albertans of Charter rights,
denied MLAs the opportunity to debate it and the courts the ability to scrutinize it,
and did all of this from her seat on a jet to Saudi Arabia.
