Honoured to have the opportunity to read at this year's Vancouver Writers Fest.

One year ago I saw the 2024 @twssfu.bsky.social authors read and thought to myself, "how terrifying!"

But I was inspired and now am so grateful to be part of the 2025 cohort - congratulations to all!

Even this one?

Serviceberries! I've tasted serviceberries in BC and found them so-so, but these ones I picked during a visit to Newfoundland are sweet, and delicious. Blueberry meets apple/pear, for me, although some describe the flavour as almondy.

A word and idea extravaganza arrived this week from above/ground press.

Stinging nettles thriving and exquisite, but already too big to harvest and consume. 🌿

Each year the seductive beauty of the #salmonberry tricks me into believing it will be more delicious than it actually is.

With a few wild rose petals I picked too.

Always a treat to be in this space at Upstart and Crow. Even better listening to these talented women read and discuss their recently published books. 📚

Oyster mushrooms hiding among the moss - I sought and found and ate.

First time to check out @twssfu.bsky.social Reading Series at Container Brewing. Great words and community - congrats to all the writers who shared their work 🎉🗣️
