Looking for an unconventional summer read? I have extra copies of The Undesirables! $20 etransfer or cash in person. I'll sign them for you, and send it anywhere in Canada. DM me! @pottersfieldpress.bsky.social #summerreaads #halifax #halifaxhistory #canlit #nonfiction

If Google is to be believed, it seems like that last one is an apology. I don't think that's how hall of fames work.

You should never assume everyone has access to a computer/smartphone, has access to a printer, or can pay a fee to print. Print fewer copies. Don't just stop printing them all together. @hfxtransit.bsky.social

Here's Snuggles in a hat!

Happy 30th birthday HRM! A few years ago, I took a look back at amalgamation for Unravel. issuu.com/advocateprin... @trevorjadams.bsky.social

Interested in learning about how I use archival records to tell stories? I'll be giving a short talk at the Genealogical Association of Nova Scotia this Saturday! #halifax #halifaxhistory #novascotia #novascotiahistory

I was trying to remember if Xena/Hercules has a Hydra. Apparently, the answer is many.

Happy Twin Peaks Day!

Trying to capitalize on a woman's death by pushing your agenda is not a good move, Friends of the Halifax Common. Erica's death had nothing to do with historic buildings being torn down. **Reposted due to some anger-induced typos.**

Lacewood, you ok? (Screenshot taken around 5:30)

Tomorrow is #ValentinesDay. You wouldn't associate Rockhead with the day, but that doesn't mean there wasn't romance. Frequent Rockhead guests Ritz Lantz and Nellie Roy's double wedding made the paper. You can read more about Rita and Nellie in The Undesirables! @pottersfieldpress.bsky.social

I recently blew a friend's mind by making her realize yes, this (left) Jacob Tierney but this (right) is also Jacob Tierney. If you are a Canadian actor of a certain age you were probably a campfire kid on Are You Afraid of the Dark, or in one of the episodes.

I'm always up for talking about archival sources and Rockhead, and I'm doing both on March 28th! I'll be giving a lecture, The Story of Rockhead: Telling History Through Snippets of Story, for the Genealogical Association of Nova Scotia. #halifax #halifaxhistory @pottersfieldpress.bsky.social

Found a relic from @kingsjournalism.bsky.social's past while visiting home. @deanjobb.bsky.social

Currently working on a review of Seven Days in Halifax for @theseaboardreview.ca. #Halifax, you should read this. #halifax #halifaxbooks #halifaxhistory #nonfiction

Selfie w/ the gang. You never know if people will like what you write. Whether you bought a copy of The Undesirables (or Breaking Disaster), came to an event, reserved it at a library, liked a post, commented, shared a post, or left a review this year, thank you! ❤️ @pottersfieldpress.bsky.social

Why is the image for Waverly on Google Maps a shoe and a fish?

And here it is with the virtual sticker!

Doing some holiday shopping this weekend? May I suggest a little #Halifax history? You can find The Undesirables at your local indie: www.indiebookstores.ca/book/9781990... Indigo/Chapters/Coles: www.indigo.ca/en-ca/the-un... And the shopping overlord. :P #halifaxhistory #nonfiction #canlit

Thank you to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic for having me in to talk about Rockhead. Also thanks to Jenny Nodelman for organizing and Andrew Aulenback for the pre-talk introduction. #halifaxhistory #halifax #NovaScotia #novascotiahistory #canlit #nonfiction @pottersfieldpress.bsky.social

Please stop marketing anything Wuthering Heights related as a great love story. It isn't. It never was. It's a cautionary tale of obsession and the damage that causes.

I could talk about Rockhead for hours. And, for one specific hour, you can come hear me to do so! On Nov. 18th, I'm doing my last Undesirables event for November! Join me for a Tuesday Night Talk at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. #halifax #halifaxhistory #novascotia #novascotiahistory

At Indigo Dartmouth till 3! Come visit! #halifax #halifaxhistory #nonfiction #nonfictionbooks #novascotia #novascotiahistory

The weather should be significantly better tomorrow, so it's the perfect time to come see me Indigo/Chapters in Dartmouth! @pottersfieldpress.bsky.social

Just casually meeting Canada's favourite astronaut.

Along with being reviewed, I did a review for Atlantic Books Today! See below for my review of Ship Moms by Jen Winsor @breakwaterbooks.bsky.social #NLbooks #nonfiction #newfoundland

Thanks to Ryan Van Horne/Atlantic Books Today for reviewing The Undesirables! #halifax #halifaxhistory #nonfiction #prisonhistory #novascotia #novascotiahistory #atlanticcanadianlit @pottersfieldpress.bsky.social

Thanks to the John Howard Society for inviting me to talk about Rockhead at their AGM! @johnhowardcanada.bsky.social @johnhowardns.bsky.social @pottersfieldpress.bsky.social #halifaxhistory #halifax #prisonhistory #NovaScotia #novascotiahistory
