Happy Independence Day Canada. The threats are going to come fast, furious and over the top. They will threaten escalation because the White House cannot abide an independent and democratic nation on their border. But we've got this. The Juno beach gene is in every one of us. Carry on

LABOUR DAY READ. Who knew my latest novel, To Refrain From Embracing, is all set during the summer of 1977 and the final chapter (dare I say climax!!) is set during the 1977 Hamilton Labour Day Parade? Grab a copy anywhere.

I also was offered a PhD spot at McGill after my MA year (my focus was on 18th Century lit) but ultimately turned it down. I wanted to write my own books— not dissect old ones ad nauseum. And the rest, as they say, is history. Academia withstood the blow. 😆

I got into Columbia in NYC for undergrad but chose UofT because Columbia was just too expensive. I couldn’t justify it when I could walk across the street to UofT. Stayed for my Masters. Never regretted it.

Speaking 1977, does anyone else still have one of these (they handed them out in school) for the Silver Jubilee? I reference this coin in my latest novel, To Refrain From Embracing (the book is set in the summer of 1977). 1/2
