Rebecca Barrett's debut novel ‘What Could My Pattern Be?’ isa fantasy/adventure book for children ages 7 to 9. It's about a unicorn learning about their gender identity. A great book that was inspired by wanting people to be who they are without worry or fear. roscommonpeople.ie/castlerea-au...

What's better than beer and books? How about having a beer with the authors that wrote those books. This Saturday, Nov 8, I'll be at Kitchesippi Brewery with 6 other local authors.

If you're looking for something to do today (Sunday Oct 26), I'm at a craft show at Bell Sensplex in Kanata all day. You can also check out the new "grass" in the indoor soccer field. Oooo, so cushiony.

I just loved The Silent Film Star Murders by Melodie Cambell! substack.com/@madscout/no...

I was at a presentation at #CapitalCrimeWriters by #JohnChristmas, about going from banker in Latvia to whistle blower of organized crime. His experiences are the basis of his thriller, #KGBBanker. Now, with several death threats he keeps his location secret. But you can find him on social media.

Lis Angus @lisangus.bsky.social will be at the Kemptville Craft Market this Saturday, March 1st. If you're in the area, why not stop by to say hi and maybe get a book signed. Also visit several other artisans at the show.

I walked until I found a creek. When I bent to take a drink, a girl who looked like me in the surface of the water said, "Hey! You're more awesome than you think!" I took her home; she lives in the mirror and continues to give me pep talks.

This is great news to hear.

I'm at the Glebe Community Craft Fair, waiting for the doors to open. Here until 3pm.

SURREAL TRAPDOOR: THE DAY THE SUN WENT OUT When my husband, Ed and I learned that a total eclipse would pass near Toronto on April 8th, we got excited. After all, we're Trekkies and space nerds. The next total eclipse near Toronto won't take place until 2106, so if we didn't see this one, it was…

We’re kicking off 2025 by celebrating one of our amazing Senior Editors, Louise! @loukoren.bsky.social 🎊

To all my artistic friends.

Hey, I'm in Women Take the Conn! I loved writing about Number One - my favourite character!

Yesterday, I spent a beautiful sunny afternoon in the backyard, sipping cappuccino and thinking about writing. Today it's rainy, few snowflakes, but not too cold. Yet.

Couldn't have described it better. I haven't been here long, but I'm loving it.

A great anthology!

I’ve had writer’s block on my new novel, then 2 weeks ago I saw a submissions call. I usually ignore close deadlines, but the Muse yelled in my ear. I actually finished it ( turned out pretty good) and after a lot of sweating got it in on time at 11:59pm! Looks like my writing drought is over.

Hello Bluesky, Just joined the community and want to say a quick hi! Trying to think what to say as an intro and I thought I’d mention Ginger, my muse of 12 years, who sat by my side – actually under my office chair so I couldn’t get up – which helped me finished my three novels.
