Big day as copies of my novel The City Knows have arrived! Thanks to Montag Press for completing my 20-year odyssey with this story.
So surreal to have two books published in the same year, but it's feast or famine. You can get The City Knows from Amazon ▶️ www.amazon.ca/City-Knows-J...

I would never call Neil Peart a great poet, but the way he clearly and directly expressed important ideas is why his words still resonate within me since I first heard them when I was 10 years old. My mind will never be for rent to any god or government.

To my delight, Niela emailed me today! She is in her 90s, still active and creating art. I can't express how happy I am to know she is with us, and I hope the book will give her some credit she truly deserves. (3/3)

For those who have read the book, she was briefly in a relationship with Billy Roberts, the composer of "Hey Joe," and there's a strong case that he based it on her song "Baby Please Don't Go To Town." (2/3)

Niela Miller was of crucial importance to me as I was writing That Gun In Your Hand. But I'd lost touch with her for several years as I was finishing it. (1/3)

I've known Antonio Michael Downing (Mike Downing to me) since the '90s when he was playing in Kitchener bands and I was covering music for the K-W Record.
His new novel Black Cherokee is out now and both our books were reviewed last Saturday in @winnipegfreepress.com Truly amazing!

I'm so fortunate that Lenny Kaye wrote the foreword to That Gun In Your Hand. Nobody could have done it better, and his support means the world to me.

The Daniel Lanois Trio played a soul-stirring set in Kitchener on Saturday. Three-part harmonies on all the classics, and tremendous sonics (as expected). They're doing more shows in Ontario this week so check them out.

Really enjoyed seeing Cracker last night in Kitchener, almost 30 years after seeing them on The Golden Age tour. They opened with 'Eurotrash Girl' and kicked out all the hits from there. Only letdown was they didn't play 'Big Dipper.' I think the guy who took this pic was directly behind me.
