I spent over a year of my life writing this collaborative craft book with eleven other (fantastic! talented! good-looking!) writers.
"Sometimes a story emerges fully formed in your mind, and sometimes it’s an onion, requiring several ‘peels’ to get to the real, eye-watering heart of the matter."

It's #ThrowbackThursday! Time for a bit of Blue Rodeo. This song has an eight-minute version with the longest keyboard solo I've ever heard, but I've settled for the radio version. 😄

As someone who's adopted cats as old as Flower, I concur. Senior kitties need a safe, loving, happy home too. 🐱
November is Adopt A Senior Pet Month.
Flower, age 15, is here to remind you that seniors are cute, have love to give, can learn your routine and would appreciate safe retirement.
Kittens are cute too, but give a home to a senior.
Adopt the Seniors !

My favourite Starship song (not counting their 70s work).
🎧 SARA
~Jefferson Starship~
🎼🎹🎵🎸🎶 Go now
Don't look back
We've drawn the line
Move on
It's no good to go back in time
I'll never find another girl like you
For happy endings
It takes two
We're fire and ice
A dream won't come true…🎶🎸🎵🎹
