Thanks to @twuc and @CWILLBC for alerts re unauthorized AI publishing of books. I found a hefty number of my @orcabook kids/YA novels. Here's a template letter to send if you're in the same (misappropriated) boat. https://t.co/TvYHxtq8ig...

📷 Loved writing about @branksomehall alum #CassandraPOTICHNYJ’07 for the #TheRoad. Cassy, who grew up with epilepsy, explains this often misunderstood condition via fun rhymes & illustrations in her new kids' book #MyShakyWorld. https://t.co/N5O4PZqquG

Check out the latest news from BC/Yukon members of The Writers' Union of Canada in the December 2024 edition of #WestWords. A treat for me to put this together, with the help of regional rep Rhona McAdam and wonderful TWUC staff.

Loved this @WesternGoldThea production. Theatre does not get better! And #AidanDooley in the title role of Antarctic explorer Tom Crean is the tour-est of tour de forces.

Solo show presented by Western Gold Theatre expertly unpacks a quiet hero’s achievements during British expeditions to Antarctica in the early 1900s

Tickled that a middle-grader bought a copy of my @orcabook y/a mystery novel #DeathDrop today at the McSpadden Park fair in Vancouver, especially since she and her dad came all the way from Abbotsford.

Diana Donnelly’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night”, accompanied by original music by Veda Hille, leads Vancouver’s #bard2024 season until Sept 21. 🎪 Get your @bardonthebeach tix today at https://t.co/H4ACXxyxBH
