I remember being glued to the TV and Muchmusic

Budgeting and getting film pitches done despite the obvious distractions

Seeing the shocked look on her and her grandmother's faces, I reassured them that she was in good hands with this one. As they left my eyes wandered toward the Ws. Maybe I could survive one?

Working my day job at the library yesterday and a very enthusiastic 10 year old brought up 4 novels to check out. Dust and Grim by @chuckwendig.bsky.social was one. I grinned and said he love following him on social media but his adult books are too scary for me.

More please!

I just read a Maya Angelou quote someone posted that said "Every storm runs out of rain."

The Spyders: Slither Me Timbers (Audiobook) Audiobook - You are downloading an image. Check your email for an email from Bookfunnel which will include a link to download the audiobook.Slither Me Timbers – the first book in the new Spyders serie...

Parents, with spring break road trips on the horizon here is an awesome audiobook that's fun for kids and won't want to make parents gouge their ears out (metaphorically speaking, of course). Plus there are 2 other books in the series! Available here and the usual audio retailers. payhip.com/b/WdTsL

It appears to be yelling into the void and it gave me a bit of a boost- thanks for that! More please!

This is the candor needed from leaders !

A walk in the sunshine is a nice break from thoughts about the madness.

I directed a music video in ASL and it's made me actively search for more projects where I can integrate it into my work. The idea that language is part of the body expands us all. We need more not less.

One of the two CL 415's working the wildfires in SOCAL was struck by a civilian drone today.

Are their regulations the same as ours? There is no excuse for this.

Thank you!

The Christmas Spyder by Vesta L. Giles (audiobook trailer) YouTube video by Vesta Giles

In my book world, it's #ChristmasSpyder season! Here is the audio trailer recorded by Michael Gallagher. I love of all three of the Spyders chapterbooks, but the Christmas Spyder is my favourite. Print or audio are available through me or regular retailers. Here's a sample - youtu.be/H3tll3kebro?...

The Dirt Chix: Making Time ... Trailer YouTube video by Vandelso Productions

Another cooll thing in my film world is all the new people discovering #TheDirtChixMakingTime - a doc I did about The Dirt Chix mountain biking group. After Telus took a bunch of videos down I uploaded it to my own site and it's gaining a whole new audience. Here's the trailer. youtu.be/BCS2IcvsUpY

The Test documentary - trailer YouTube video by Vandelso Productions

I love that I'm getting requests from communities to show #thetest - a documentary I completed about #LoganLake, the #tremontcreekwildfire and the #firesmart program in BC. Logan Lake spent 18 years preparing for a wildfire the hoped would never come, and then it did. youtu.be/Q2fHmSHLBwI

This is important! I need more of it in my life.

It could be that the original is more powerful because it radically changed so many futures. The new one is just an upgrade.

If you're in Kamloops on November 24th come see me and the Spyders (3 adventurous spyders who get into a lot of trouble, and find a way out again) at the SPCA Craft Fair at TRU. It's the only big sale I do and I love sharing these chapter books with everyone. And the Christmas Spyder is so much fun!

I feel like I've been circling my first adult novel, afraid to dive in and let it get messy. But in the last couple of weeks I've done a bunch of organizing and I finally feel like I can find a path in. I'm breathing in research about medieval women scribes, no time to murder someone... or two!

Yay!

Sometimes it's calming to look at fine details #mapleleaf

I asked Flynn what I should do about the bird app and this was his response. He's like a magic 8 ball that way. So, here I am.
