CBC Books – Canada Writes.

CBC Canada Writes has republished “The Trailer” as one of their True Winter Tales favourites. You couldn’t have convinced me then of where that cold day would take me, of how all those eye-rolling cliches about grist for the mill and lemons for lemonade are true, if you just keep on doing one simple thing: take the next breath.

Staff pick at Chapters-Indigo!

Of all the writing I’ve done, “Arms of My Inheritance” is the closest to my heart. Besides the honour of being included in this esteemed collection, is the preservation of the essay – how the anthology extends the shelf-life of the work I am most proud of. Thank you and congratulations to everyone at Tightrope Books.
