Just a few places where my short fiction has been published.

Publishing hot take: traditional publishing is really hard, and self-publishing is really hard, and everyone deserves a sandwich and a nap.

I guess Stephen Colbert is available to join the cast of Critical Role just in time for Campaign 4.

The Toronto Circus Riot broke out on this day 170 years ago — sparked by a brawl between angry clowns and firefighters at a Victorian brothel.

Here's my annual thread about one of the strangest stories in Canadian history...

Authors, take note

I checked a spelling variation of my name and they also got a short story.

Great. One of my books is in here and I’m a tiny author.

OK SO, 25% book tariffs are set to go live April 2. this is tricky for a number of reasons but the simplest is that most books are published & warehoused in the US, even those by Canadian authors, so this makes it infinitely more complicated than "Buy Canadian Authors" or slapping on a sticker

Several of my published short stories are available on my website:

I’m a Canadian writer!

In “Hearsay” by Holly Schofield the mantle of being the village storyteller comes with a heavy burden: being the only one who knows the truth.

Makes me appreciate a foggy day that much more.

“The realization that my unborn child will consider [fog] as they might a rotary phone, a monarch butterfly, or a Tesla leaves me unmoored.”

“Forecast” by Vanessa Hua #ThroughThePortalTalesFromAHopefulDystopia hits with familiarity in a world turned too hot to produce fog: “the cool, grey city might become as sun-bleached as Seville by the end of the century”,

2025 is year of the snake. It’s Ouroboros, isn’t it.

Just to be clear: this is NOT my happy place 🥶

A black and white postcard, yellowed with time, showing two fishermen (one with a rod, one with a net) on the shore of a lake, trying to land a comically and impossibly large bass. Text at top of photo reads "THIS IS THE KIND OF BASS WE CATCH AT BUCKHORN." At the bottom, it reads "COPYRIGHT CANADA, 1913" - the date 1915 has been written in the bottom corner in pen.

Reverse of postcard. It appears that the stamp that had previously been affixed has detached, but a faint outline of it remains. Message reads: "Accept my Heartfelt Con-gratulations. You certainly did well. Now for a good holiday which you surely deserve after such a splendid success E.T. Elliott" is written. The postcard is addressed to "Mr Milburn Hutchinson Lindsay #3 Ontario."

The Kawarthas have been known as a good fishing spot since before we were even known as the Kawarthas. This 1913 postcard from Buckhorn may, however, be a *slight* exaggeration.

Winston could not definitely remember a time when his country had not been at war.
