I loved teaching this “Gift of Story” workshop at the Lacombe Performing Arts Centre. Participants were invited to bring splattered recipe cards and thumbed-through cookbooks as inspiration to create a special gift of story for family or friends. Imagine! A favourite Christmas sweet with a story baked right in!

It’s a long and winding road that leads from manuscript to book. I’ll be sharing my adventure with authors Doreen Vanderstoop, Lori Hahnel, and Maryke Schouten at Shelf Life Books in Calgary on Wednesday November 15 at 7pm. Please join us!

Once again Red Deer Polytechnic is proudly offering its Series Summer Arts School and I am thrilled to be part of it. For the second year in a row I’m offering my 5-day course “Write Where You Are” and my one-day taster “Memoir Lite.” Details and registration links in my post.
