Last month I was interviewed by @ronitplank.bsky.social on her podcast #LetsTalkMemoir. It was a great conversation that focused on craft in writing. I'm so glad I got to chat with her.
Me signing books yesterday. I think I sold seven (two women were going to come back and one guy was buying it on Amazon (boo)). Better than nothing! Thanks to @franceslpeck.bsky.social for the photo! @ualbertapress.bsky.social
My book is here! Hurrah! And look at the name of that sparkling wine - Narrative - how appropriate (thanks Dave for picking that one).
