I’m so pleased to announce that I just signed the contract for my first book, a short story collection titled Bad Endings. It’s always been my hope to publish with the Anvil Press family. I’m thankful to Brian Kaufman, Karen Green, and Shazia Hafiz Ramji! Also very excited to work with Katie Green, a dear friend and fellow Peel River paddler, on the cover art.

I think this is Joel’s photo.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one, but last September I paddled 500 kilometres through the Peel River Watershed with five other artists and a film crew. The doc is almost finished, and it will screen at the Arts Commons in Calgary (and probably other venues as well, nobody tells me anything) this February. Here’s the Facebook event page.
