We had an excellent grape harvest this year. Newfoundland yes. But in the greenhouse!

Is this not one of the most gorgeous little fishing stages in Newfoundland?

My latest novel "Vicory" was shortlisted for the Guernica Prize for outstanding Canadian Literary Fiction. Doesn't seem to matter though because I don't think a single person on Bluesky has bought it. C'mon...

"It’s a far cry from the open-armed optimism of mid-century Canada, which saw Viljo Revell’s design for Toronto City Hall picked in an open competition, or Montreal’s decision to build Moshe Safdie’s Master’s thesis project as Habitat 67."

Do you suppose the Rolling Stones "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" was inspired by Wuthering Heights?

From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: Canada defeated Qatar, 6-0, to earn the country's first-ever victory at a men's World Cup. A hat-trick for Jonathan David, whose celebrations are muted following Ismael Kone's injury. nyti.ms/3SlNiQ0

I'm finding Bluesky to be about as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle. I can't seem to encourage any interaction whatsoever. Every day some obscure nutcase follows me and that's about as exciting as it gets.

I will be at Coles Bookstore in the Avalon Mall this Saturday afternoon, along with a number of other outstanding authors, to sign copies of my latest novel, Vicory. I hope to see some old friends. I promise to explain the name and the cover! Please share!

A plea to my followers out there (I have over 600, surely a few of you must be interested): My second novel was launched last month! How about purchasing a copy and making my publisher really happy?! www.merlinstarpress.com/bookstore#!/... #historicalfiction #guernicaprize

Thank you so much MFrance Turcotte for that lovely little review of my novel "Vicory". There's not much more that a writer could ask for than when someone says "I couldn't put it down".

If you have a choice today between watching Liverpool FC with Arne Slot or Gardening World with Monty Don, I suggest the latter, as the pace is a great deal faster.

To pronounce Newfoundland properly, we say that it rhymes with understand. To understand Newfoundland, you should read my latest novel: Vicory. www.merlinstarpress.com/home/bookstore Please share.

I have been doing my best to support other writers on this platform. I really have. So the other day when I posted the cover reveal for my second novel, I expected a few likes at the very least. But I got zero. Did better on X if you can believe it.

Cover Reveal ! The artwork for my latest novel (in bookstores soon) is stunning and I have to thank Merlin Star Press & Brian Branch (Branch Graphic Design). Explaining the details of a cod trap to those who don't come from a fishing culture is not easy. Especially when the view is from the bottom!

They say that not reverting to profanity is a sign of strength, self-control and superior communication skills. According to this paradigm, ICE is the polar opposite.
