reflecting, unplugging, writing
While waiting for spring and other new things, I’ve been reflecting, unplugging, and of course, writing. I submitted my novella for an open submission call! I thought I’d checked over all of my documents before sending them, but somehow, the title of the manuscript included my name – anonymous submissions were like the one thing…

retro 2022
It’s that quiet week after Christmas when the old year winds down and the new year (according to this calendar anyway) is just over the horizon. Hopefully, you all are staying warm and well in this waiting time. Since I’m feeling reflective, here’s my last blog post of 2022! 2022 was a journey of a…

december reads
This December, I’m reading local, reviewing an ARC of a book I’m super hyped for, and am running a holiday offer on my books! I wrapped up my event schedule this past weekend with the truly rad Rad Holiday Market. It was my first time in the RadStorm space, and I loved the collaborative grass-roots…

short story announcement!
I wrote a story for an August call for submissions about lighthouses. I mean, I live in Nova Scotia, so I had to, right? Funnily enough, I hadn’t been to any lighthouses since moving here last May. Drawing off a visit to Cape George a few summer trips ago and a photo I scrolled past…

moving
A lot has happened in the last month! For one thing, our landlords have sold the house I’ve lived in for the past several years. We’re being evicted at the end of March, which is extremely inconvenient considering, you know, a global pandemic and all. Thankfully, we have wonderful friends who’ve given us support (and…

road trip reading
After a couple of days of adjusting to the lack of ocean in Windsor, I’m finally sitting down to write about the reading I did in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia. If you’ve never been to the east coast of Canada, it is an absolutely gorgeous place. My husband’s family lives in Nova Scotia, and I…
