"Writing a song about Lake Memphremagog..." I just finished a flash fiction extrapolating The Tragically Hip's 'Problem Bears', with their 'non essential workers' and 'tough talkin' goalies really going at it upstairs'...
Flo. Magazine Issue 3 Launch, Art House Cafe, March 29/23.
It'd been a long time since I'd read in front of a crowd, but The Art House Cafe  was the right setting for reading my short story "Struggletown" to this capacity crowd. I was nervous but able to dissipate the anxiety, commenting to the first row that they're so close up they're lucky this isn't stand-up comedy night. It felt good having the crowd laugh (at the right moments) and feeling the connection with this beautiful room.  It was also a treat to talk with the other great readers and to hear their offerings to this great issue. A great night for literature in Ottawa.

Working on a new novella as a break from the LEFtTurn novel.

Might not seem like a difference, but for me it's a change of pace and focus that really does help mentally. Creating another world with new characters. Always a rush.
I'm going to call the novella 'individe' and will try to publish it independently. <3
