I’m writing this late after returning home from a fantastic weekend. On Friday I travelled to Ottawa with friends from my writing group to attend Can Con, a sci-fi and fantasy literature convention aimed at authors. Can Con is open to anyone […]
Hello again. I was out last week for medical reasons, I hope you’ll forgive me. For those same reasons, it’s been a low-key week with little to update you on, just a few small things. I’ve been finding more time to read […]
