I stopped by a local bookshop to sign copies of ✨LETTERS TO KAFKA✨. It’s always so nice to visit the shops and talk to staff! You can get your copy wherever you buy books! And the library! 🫶

It was a real pleasure to serve on the Berton House jury for this, the Writers' Trust's 50th year. The selection was incredibly difficult! Congratulations to the four finalists, and I hope they find their time in Dawson City as stimulating, and life-changing, as I did.

Holy shit!!! The article says Milena owned this suitcase as far back as 1919 when she was living in Vienna with her first husband, and corresponding with Franz Kafka. I explore that period of her life in my novel ✨LETTERS TO KAFKA!✨ english.radio.cz/suitcase-jou...

On the same day that my first book THE SYRIAN LADIES BENEVOLENT SOCIETY somehow hit the no.1 bestseller spot on Amazon (Canadian Short Stories list) 2.5 years after it dropped, I find out my second book LETTERS TO KAFKA earned out its advance only 6 months after it hit the shelves!

Get a load of this POS. Racist, xenophobic, clearly hates women, and LETS BE CLEAR— when he says he want to “practice bjj moves” on his date, he’s saying he wants to beat her up. I won’t post his pics but trust me, he looks like something that would eat its young.

Haven’t really posted about this, but my novel LETTERS TO KAFKA is a Heather’s Pick at Indigo. That means, when you walk into any Indigo or Coles across the country, you’ll find my book right there on the centre table. If you haven’t bought your copy yet, you know where to find it!

I’m at the cinema to see Hamnet. I had a $30 gift card. Ticket itself with tax came to $17 and then I bought a coffee and a fountain drink… I only have $2 left on the card. No wonder people stay home and stream.
