Colour me lucky! I won this month's Canadian Children's Book Centre draw. The prize is not 1 book. Not 5 books. It's EVERY book nominated for a 2024 CCBC award. My kitchen table is buried under Canadian kid-lit excellence. Thanks, CCBC! 😀😍

I loved connecting with teachers, librarians, and other writers on Twitter. Now it's a wasteland. Recently joined Blue Skies, hoping to find that community again.

The trouble with visiting my local indie bookstore, @TakeCoverBooks in Peterborough. Every time.
But then I remember Aristotle: "To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice" and realize that I am the bravest of the brave. 😀📚⚔️
