Hey there. How’s it going? Enjoying the Winter? Me too! So, I wrote that book thing, and a bunch of you read it and a few even reviewed it and I think that’s super. Typical responses go something like, “OMG cliffhanger, you bastard!” followed by, “BOOK 2 NOW”. Regarding the first, I am sorry about […]
Warning: Navel-gazing ahead. Feel free to skip straight to the pictures. 2015 was a fun year for me, photographically-speaking. I was lucky enough to travel to two (2!) places in the country I’ve never been to: Cape Breton and Newfoundland. I lived in Cape Breton briefly as a very young kid and went on a […]
Yesterday, NASA released the most complete view of the largest moon in our solar system. A false-color composite taken on November 13th at high altitude. Cassini used its infrared, moderate resolution camera system. allowing it to see through the thick hydrocarbon atmosphere. The 1KM/px resolution image shows landmasses, dunes and liquid lakes of methane. Hard […]
Hey. How’s your weekend? Mine’s alright, thanks. The other day, Charles Stross wrote a screed about The Things One Must Not Do in science fiction in order to maintain his suspension of disbelief. These things are pretty much a laundry list of Things I used in Trajectory Book 1. The coincidence made me chuckle while […]
I’d like to thank everyone who sent feedback, tweeted about and downloaded my book yesterday. I think by most accounts it was a pretty successful first day for a new book from an unknown author, so I’m very grateful for all the stars and hearts. Thank you. In case you missed it and have no […]

For those on epub, I have a plan for those to follow. Drop me a note or watch this space for updates about releases. If you want […]
Hi. I thought I’d come up to periscope depth to drop a few words about what I’ve been up to. WordPress is a tricky vehicle to publish with and it usually devolves into extended configuration and Linux spelunking but I think I’m through the worst of it. If I can just ignore that blinking terminal […]
We lost our beloved greyhound Dakota last week. Born Farshur from a long line of pedigreed racers dating back to the early 1800s, she came to us via the good people at MGAP in Moncton in 2009. After suffering problems with her teeth and a long struggle with arthritis, she finally succumbed to chronic kidney […]
This morning I came across this list for new pilots in my feeds and thought it’d be useful to share my own pre-flight checklist. Before any flight, I always run through a quick checklist to make sure I’m not breaking any rules and that my quadcopter’s in good working shape. It’s short, takes a few […]
Hiya. Just a quick promo blurb for those out and about in Toronto’s West End this afternoon. Deb‘s all set-up in the Parchment Moon booth at the Trinity Bellwoods Flea in the Studio Bar at 824 Dundas St. West. There’ll be tunes and a bar and lots of stuff to see. Check it out. Deb […]
