I think the most “adult who was in a gifted and talented program as a kid” thing I could have done to myself was become an author. Just giving myself endless homework and a need for people to be proud of me forever.

Ken Danby's paintings were some of the most spectacular of the 20th century. From his hyper-realistic portrait of Gordon Lightfoot, to his iconic At The Crease, his work is known by Canadians coast-to-coast. This is the story of a great Canadian artist. 🧵 1/10

He is seated in a warmly lit wood-paneled room lined with framed artwork, vintage posters, and a wall clock. He wears an open-collared light blue denim shirt, with one hand visible in his lap.

Okay so apparently it isn't common knowledge: after you get your shots, roll your shoulder and flex your bicep every 30-60 minutes. It dramatically reduces the soreness from the shots. Pharmacists taught me this tip Year 1 and it's a game changer.

I wrote that I’m doing a book singing instead of signing. Okay then: 🎶 If you like a good romance and you finally put on pants, then get it while it’s hotty and saucy-ful and naughty! On the 19th of September from 1 to 3—remember? If you like this cover’s looks then head to Evermore Books! 🎵

Book cover description: Brown background with coloured smoke. A white man with silver hair who is wearing a flight suit with wings on the shoulders is trying not to laugh at a woman with short grey hair who is sitting, looking bored, and wearing a chicken costume. On the table is a sign that reads: All you can eat at Coq of the walk! Behind her are three beautiful women who are dressed like models, standing at another table that has a large wings basket on it.

Absolutely tickled by these new 5-star reviews for my books! 🥰😭 #Romancelandia #BookSky #QueerWriters

New 5 star reviews for Witch Unmasked:

"Love love love! What a beautiful sequel to keep me cozy in Parksville when I needed to escape the horror of reality. I'm so happy to explore more of this world and I hope there will be a third book soon!"

"I love that we get to go back to Parksville, BC and catch up with Aspen & Co while we get to know Corey and Dee! The worldbuilding continues, the community grows with more fabulous characters, and what love story is complete without a cameo from Baba Yaga?!"

"Just as good as the first

Do not start this book right before bed. You WILL make bad decisions and stay up too late. It's just too cute to put down!"

New 5 star review for Parksville Community Witch: "This book was so cute I might die. On a scale of 1 to 10 for cuteness, it is at 500. It contains my least favorite romance trope and somehow managed to make it enjoyable. This is definitely a new favorite."

A language fact for the beginning of autumn: The Dutch word "herfst" is directly related to the English word "harvest". In Old English, the season was called "hærfest"; "the time of gathering crops". Slowly, the crop-gathering meaning overtook the season-meaning. (1/3)
