It’s been seven years since my book Separation Anxiety was released. What an amazing journey! So grateful to these Canadian Independent Booksellers who hosted my in-person readings (remember those?) and promoted my book!
For almost 40 years Red Deer Polytechnic has proudly offered its Series Summer Arts School and I am thrilled to be part of it. This year I’m offering a 5-day course “Write Where You Are” and a one-day taster “Memoir Lite.” Details and registration links in my post.
Join me at the Olds Municipal Library on Saturday April 30 from 1:00-3:30 for Writing a Gratitude Garden, an opportunity to reflect on the people in your life who have helped you to grow. Details and registration link in my post.
On Saturday, May 15, Writers On Fire hosted “Rejuvenate Your Creativity” a day of inspiring workshops. I was interviewed by Nikki Tate, creator of the Writers on Fire Community, about writing memoir. Details inside.
It’s always exciting when readers write to me, sharing how my book resonated with them. When “Separation Anxiety” went out into the world in 2015, I could not have predicted that I would receive a letter that revealed something both heart-wrenching and mind-blowing: a personal connection I could never have imagined.
In June I was inspired to to post a Facebook video asking followers to contribute their stories of how they’ve coped since March. I’ve gathered their responses into The COPEndium.
