If you're in Victoria, B.C. and want to check out my books, now you don't have to come all the way over to Sooke to see them. They're now at Dragonfly books in Langford. #booksky dragonflybooks.ca
If you're going to be up-Island this weekend, I'll be at the book fair in Parksville, BC with all my books. Drop on by and say hi! #booksky #fungifriends #sci-fi #VancouverIsland
The Spring issue of Fungi magazine is out, and it has one of my articles in it: "Octenol, the fungal compound you didn't know you love (and possibly hate?). #fungifriends #mycology 🍄
I will be there with my books at the "Book it to the Fair" event in Parksville, B.C. June 20. If you're in the area, drop on by! I'll have both my mushroom and sci-fi books there, and a couple of copies of our "Sooke at Heart" poetry chapbook. See you there!
If you're up Island, I'll be at the Ladysmith Book Fest April 11 with my sci-fi novels and mushroom books. See you there there! #booksky

While we're waiting for morels, here are some fly agarics (Amanita muscaria) to ponder. Poisonous, yes, but choice Boletus edulis (The King, Porcini, Cep, Penny bun, etc.) sometimes also appears in this spot (they are generally known to associate). What's up with that? #fungifriends #mycology
