How I wish I'd known this wise woman, Doris McCarthy. But I do get to write a book about her! @FitzWhits

Hey - if you're working in a school (Nova Scotia), I'd love to come for a visit, chat about books, reading and writing with your students. Link here: writers.ns.ca/programs/write… @AVRCE_NS @SSRCE_NS @CCRCE_NS @WritersFedofNS

Thanks to this site, I got to spend time re-reading some of my favorite MG novels - check out my reviews at the link above. @MGminded #lovemiddlegradenovels #canadiankidswriters

@LakelifeLore Occasionally I pay the extra couple of cents/liter and buy gas in Grand Pre (or New Ross) where they still pump:) But, yeah.
English
Medical records online, mail-order tests and smart watches…might still need a course or two but I’ll soon be my own primary care practitioner. I tell ya folks, we should’ve put our foot down at pumping our own gas, it’s been a slippery slope of self-serve since then. 😏

@LakelifeLore Recently re-watched "Mr. Holland's Opus" - loved it!
English
We wanted to watch a movie last night and rather than spend too long looking at all the newer streaming choices that we might not enjoy anyway, we decided to choose a classic oldie we hadn’t seen in a long time. We picked Glengarry Glen Ross. Good idea, may do it again. 👍🎥🎞️

@tomryanauthor @StephenKing Road trip to Bangor - I read that his former home has been turned into a writers' retreat! Seems he lives in Florida for a chunk of the year these days.
English
I am going to just throw this out there: I have been an enormous fan of @StephenKing since I was 13. I know he reads a lot and I think he’d dig ‘The Treasure Hunters Club’ - if anyone knows how I can get one to him (or if he sees this himself and is intrigued) hit me up. 😎🤡

A missing treasure. A hidden journal. A failed writer. A grieving teen detective. A long lost grandson. An unexpected inheritance. A ghost with a message. A creepy old mansion. A twist you won’t see coming. Not to mention all the murders… THE TREASURE HUNTERS CLUB Fall 2024

Hope you'll be living like somebody left the gate open this long weekend! #canadianillustrators #soulsmiles

@LakelifeLore It's a sad state of affairs. I say they stop paying the "consultants/bureaucrats" and start listening to the people in the trenches - healthcare workers. I'm pretty sure they know how to fix the system, although it'll take time.
English
I wrote a parody song and blog post about healthcare, if you feel like a smile and a long read that’s not quite so funny. Take care of yourself friends, we’re on our own. 😊🩺👵🏻

@emcmack Don't know where to find them now, but my kids LOVED those (about 30 years ago) - cassette tapes then:)
English
My kid loves (loves!) the Classical Kids audio stories like “Beethoven Lives Upstairs” and “Vivaldi’s Ring of Mystery.” Are they available for download anywhere that folks know about? Or just CDs? (No hate to CDs, it just limits where we can listen.)
English
I want to thank you all on pub day for your love & support over the decades. You give me such confidence that there is an audience for my quirky voice and the realms of human life I feel called up to write about. So here you go! Start reading Somehow here: bit.ly/3F52p6q
