As we head into the holiday season, I thought I’d share some favourite posts from the past. This was originally posted on 12 February, 2o18…
Recently I paid a visit to the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory (Ontario, Canada) and I’m so glad I did. Besides being the perfect respite from the freezing weather, it was a magical experience being surrounded by butterflies (many more than 16). I highly recommend it. I thought I’d share a few of the photos I took…
Wishing everyone a wonderful day with friends and family (and the ubiquitous can of cranberry sauce)!
This weekend is the Eden Mills Writers’ Festival! Brad Middleton, author of Un-Dead TV will be joining me there on Sunday the 9th to sign copies of our books (if you haven’t picked up Love Lies Bleeding yet, this is the perfect time). The Festival (located just outside of Guelph, ON) is a great place to meet authors and find your new favourite read–hope to see you there…

Fan Expo starts tomorrow (August 30th) at 4 PM and it’s going to be a great one! There are tons of guests, attractions, and shopping–something for every fandom.
I’ll be sharing Booth #5430 in the North Building (Horror section) with the lovely Spider and Fly. Stop by to pick up your copy of Love Lies Bleeding, say hello, and check out all the goodies. Can’t wait to see you there…
(PS: If you want to get a head start, download your free copy of my short story “Blood Magic”! Myth and magic collide in this story about choices, transformation, and retribution: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/816146).
Thanks to a few well-known tipplers (coughHemingwaycough), writers have something of a reputation for indulging. Though that may be more stereotype than reality, over the years certain bars and cafés have become linked with the literary crowd who’ve gone there to eat, drink, socialize, and occasionally write. Inspired by a recent LitHub article featuring 35 Literary Cafés. I thought I’d share a couple of them here, as well as adding some the list missed.
Although not as well-known as the others on the list, here are some local-ish spots this Toronto writer thinks are worth a mention:
Writers unknown, famous, and infamous have always populated cafés and bars all over the world. Comment and tell me which ones you think deserve a mention.
(Note: This is a re-post from 26 February 2018. If you’re looking for something new to read, how about my free short story “Blood Magic”: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/816146 or my novel Love Lies Bleeding, available in paperback and e-book at most online booksellers.)
