Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canucks! And happy Tuesday to all of you from elsewhere! Just a few quick notes and updates today, since it’s been a few days since I last dropped in with any sort of news.
First off, in honour of Canada Day, allow me to introduce you to Dark Canadiana. Brought to you by Iron Fang Press, it’s a horror anthology (naturally), written about Canada, by Canadians. It’s loaded with great stories, by a wide array of authors spanning the nation – including yours truly.

From the back cover:
Canada.
A land packed full of beautiful landscapes, wildlife, diverse people, and poutine.
A land overflowing with a dark history, local legends, cryptids, serial killers, and so much more.

John Adam Gosham, Steve Stred, Joe Powers, K.A. Mielke, Konn Lavery, Leonard George, Dana Gricken, Anthony Michael Murphy, Stephen Coghlan, Robert Dawson, Kristal Stittle, Jon Gauthier, Alix Kampen, Debbie Powers, Dwain Campbell, Eva Roslin, Daniel Fox, Dean Italiano, Angelique Fawns, Spencer Keene, Carson Fredriksen, C.

Also, a reminder that my new novel, Putting Down Roots, is available on Amazon and KDP. Despite no reviews and little promo, it’s holding its own in the sales rankings a month after release. Thank you to all who have picked up a copy already, it means a lot. And thanks in advance to those who plan to get a copy but haven’t yet. Looking forward to your feedback!
And speaking of Putting Down Roots: for those in the area, we’re having the official launch party in a couple of weeks. The Write Cup Bookstore Cafe is a wonderful place that offers a ton of excellent books with a focus on Atlantic Canadian authors, and they have graciously agreed to host this event. There’ll be drinks and snacks, I’ll be signing copies and telling stories, a good time will be had by all! So, on Saturday, July 12th, come on down and help celebrate with us.
That’s enough for one day, I guess. Thank you for taking the time to drop in and visit my little corner of the online world, and for your continued support. As always, if you’d like to have updates and info delivered right to your inbox, click over to my contact page and sign up there. Which reminds me, I’ll have another post in the next couple of days regarding my contacts… but I won’t get into that just now. Until next time,
Stay safe, talk soon!
