I stopped by a local bookshop to sign copies of ✨LETTERS TO KAFKA✨. It’s always so nice to visit the shops and talk to staff! You can get your copy wherever you buy books! And the library! 🫶

It was a real pleasure to serve on the Berton House jury for this, the Writers' Trust's 50th year. The selection was incredibly difficult! Congratulations to the four finalists, and I hope they find their time in Dawson City as stimulating, and life-changing, as I did.

Holy shit!!! The article says Milena owned this suitcase as far back as 1919 when she was living in Vienna with her first husband, and corresponding with Franz Kafka. I explore that period of her life in my novel ✨LETTERS TO KAFKA!✨ english.radio.cz/suitcase-jou...

On the same day that my first book THE SYRIAN LADIES BENEVOLENT SOCIETY somehow hit the no.1 bestseller spot on Amazon (Canadian Short Stories list) 2.5 years after it dropped, I find out my second book LETTERS TO KAFKA earned out its advance only 6 months after it hit the shelves!

Get a load of this POS. Racist, xenophobic, clearly hates women, and LETS BE CLEAR— when he says he want to “practice bjj moves” on his date, he’s saying he wants to beat her up. I won’t post his pics but trust me, he looks like something that would eat its young.

Haven’t really posted about this, but my novel LETTERS TO KAFKA is a Heather’s Pick at Indigo. That means, when you walk into any Indigo or Coles across the country, you’ll find my book right there on the centre table. If you haven’t bought your copy yet, you know where to find it!

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Trump’s back to threatening 100% tariffs on Canada this morning, wow I can’t imagine why the Canadians now see the Chinese as a more reliable trade partner

If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a "Drop Off Port" for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken. China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life. If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
