I'm encouraged to post some photos I took recently. Three have been published in our daily paper on-line--a gorgeous double rainbow that appeared over the downtown area on Thursday evening, the sunrise over downtown Edmonton, and the church. The photo of the church was also published in the Religion section of the print edition of the Edmonton Journal last Saturday. These were all taken with a Nikon Coolpix L11 "point and shoot" little camera.
Welcome to my blog. I've run through the meadow of words all my life. My first poem, at the age of 5, rhymed "stars" with "Mars". I've come a long way...but it's not all about me. What do you want from a writer and what can I do for you? Let's chat.
A list of my publications can be found on a separate page on this blog (In the Beginning...)
I've written several unpublished novels that are awaiting representation. I'm co-authoring a nonfiction book with Austin Mardon, CM, PhD, about schizophrenia and our wild ride down that path.
I love my little studio suite on the 10th floor of a high rise apartment building in the Oliver area of downtown Edmonton.
I love nature, I love my stones, I love to walk and especially I love to write. I love my children most of all. Most of what I've learned in life I've learned from them.
"I have a feeling my career has just peaked." -- Colin Firth, after receiving the best actor Oscar for his performance in The King's Speech.
I'm on a long journey to the end of the world; to the end of fantasy and into a bottomless but authentic future.The delusions were not chimera; and the obsessions/compulsions have swirled down the drain like sewer water to the vast ocean.
