At Chartwell Meadowbrook Retirement Community on Oct. 29th, reading from Product of Italy 🇮🇹, Made in Canada 🇨🇦: An Immigrant's Love Letter to Food, Family, and Resilience. @latitude46pub.bsky.social Thanks #thewritersunionofcanada & #canadacouncilforthearts for supporting this public reading 🇨🇦

Thanks, as always, for your advocacy, #TheWritersUnionofCanada.

#TheWritersUnionofCanada has three goals in the 2025 federal election:

Thanks to #TheWritersUnionofCanada and @cwillbc.bsky.social for alerts re unauthorized AI publishing of books. I found a hefty number of my @orcabook.bsky.social kids/YA novels. Here's a template letter to send if you're in the same (misappropriated) boat. actionnetwork.org/letters/auth...

I'm grateful for #TheWritersUnionofCanada whose #writingforchildren competition gave me a boost of confidence to revise & sub my entry/story which became my first published picture book. #kidlitchat

I was so delighted and honoured to have the opportunity to illustrate the cover for the @thewritersunionofcanada quarterly magazine - WRITE. The theme lended itself to many concept options but I thought this was the best to describe it.

Our venue on Saturday 25 May – the Globe Theatre, Atlin, BC. @ellenbielawski, @pattiflather and I are reading from our novels-in-progress, dreaming of the day when they have covers and spines. Join us at 7.30pm. Thank you @ExploreAtlin and @thewritersunionofcanada. (Photo: Klondike Lost Photography)
