![I learned last night that my story, The Power Man, has been short-listed for the Crime Writers of Canada 2019 Arthur Ellis Award for Best Crime Short Story!
Its too early for an acceptance speech, but Id like to thank Coffin Hop Press of Calgary for including The Power Man in the dark Christmas anthology Baby, Its Cold Outside, even though my story isnt that dark.

A great festival and definitely one of the top events in K-Town this spring. And you get to check out the renovated library, too. Irresistible.
Anyone know Morse code? The telegraph plays a big role in the historical mystery novel I am writing and this book by Robert Burnet was a great resource, until it burned in the Fort McMurray wildfire.
It was 20 years old and hard to get even then (I got my copy directly from Mr. Burnet), but now I've tracked down this copy from a used-books seller in Derbyshire, U.K.
Huzzah!
My father was a railwayman his whole life, I wonder if he has any insights to share.
As a writer, I have always used commas like salt. When I was younger I sprinkled them liberally. Now I’m more sparing. But still ....CAA - Writers Helping Writers
How can commas be like salt?
Awesome 👏
We had a great turnout for yesterday’s writing workshop — Finding The Words — which kicked off with a masterful example of storytelling by Elder Robert Cree. I enjoyed sharing tips and talking with community members who want to write their stories of the Fort McMurray Wildfire, whether for family history, sorting through their thoughts, or to publish. The event was presented free of charge thanks to the generosity of the Writers Guild of Alberta, the Wood Buffalo Arts Council, and The Wood Buffalo Regional Library.
Therese...we went to high school together...I always knew that you would be a writer from taking English class together....I'm glad to see that I was right👍❤️ My maiden name was Morrison back then and I'm a Therese like you
