A gentle reminder: “Reading to children, even before they can understand words, teaches them to associate books with love and affection.” (Princeton Book Review)

So excited for the final day of Canada Fiction Fest! I'll be on the horror panel chatting with some amazing folks about why horror is so powerful in this moment

Happy Canada Day! 🍁 Bonne Fête du Canada! 🍁

Since attending the #FictionFest panel with R.A. Consell & hearing him read from Stealing From Wizards, I've been hooked on the podcast. Fantastically good #middlegrade #fantasy fun! 📚👍 #ReadCanadian #BuyCanadianBooks #CanLit #CanKidLit @stealingfromwizards.com stealingfromwizards.com

Buy a dark thriller or a cozy murder mystery and help Peter, who recently lost his wife of 31 years and is trying to get his life back together. Every cent helps, and the books are amazing! #murdermysteries #darkthrillers #psychologicalkillers www.amazon.com/stores/autho...

It's on, Chilliwack! Come to the BC Author Fair. Meet Monty 🐶🔎 (& this nerd 🤓) and 70 other amazing authors.

So much “real men” this and “real men” that. Real men pick up their dog’s shit even in the middle of the night when no one’s looking. That’s it. Be decent. Always. Done. That’s a “real man.” What you wear or how you look or who you kiss doesn’t matter. Being decent matters.

These are super fun & only a little bit scary

Any human with enough literacy to pen a marketing email would never make *this* mistake. Shows how blatantly stupid these "AI" machines really are
