So I’m trying to make you snow-covered Easterners jealous … but not too jealous. ———- Photo info: Subject: Golden Prolific Nectarine, 4 years old Camera: Canon SLR – EOS digital Rebel XTi. 35mm camera lens […]

writing a (crazy, bloody, funny)(insert adjective) love story. Someone clicked through and stumbled across this post from March 2011 on the blog yesterday which called it to my attention this morning. … and that does sound like a great story … I should work on that again, but maybe it needs to be a novel […]

I discovered this amusing series of photos while walking down West 4th Avenue in Kitsilano on July 28, 2012 – yes, I’ve been remiss in posting it. An entire block is under construction between Yew and Maple (??) and some brilliant person posted these photos on the plywood wall built between the sidewalk and the […]
On a whim — just right now — and perhaps spurned on by this blog post over on Mr. asperger today, I clicked through my stats page to see my top viewed posts of all time. The top ten, disregarding the “home” (#1) and “about” (#3) pages, was very interesting. A gardening post takes the top […]

Writer Suzie Ivy recently read and reviewed my novel, After The Virus – “Bad guys become good, worse guys stay bad and humanity fights for what’s right. What more could I ask for? Oh and then Doidge added zombies. Bottom line, I loved this book!” A brand new project of mine can be found over at Yesterday’s […]
Only two items (that I know of) of note this week, as I have been doing more writing than web surfing, which is good of me, but makes a bit of a boring post (with only a couple of links). Michelle over at Michelle’s Book Blog took a read of After The Virus this week […]
A Book Vacation recently read After The Virus and ranked it 4 stars! Shana seems to be looking forward to a sequel, but she’ll have a bit of wait ahead of her as a prequel/sequel is not currently in the works (though there are always ideas… ha!) If you are a writer and not reading […]
Continuing the blog tour theme around here, check out this guest post on Lena Hillbrand’s blog in which I pontificate on the the use of screenplay structure in the 1st draft of a novel. Now, if I only followed my own advice, think how many more of these first draft novels I’d have completed!
