From the Vancouver Sun: “all the characters in this drama of small-town loss and bafflement are shown with compassion in all their human complexity. At a time when so many of us are dealing with mortality during the pandemic, this book will provide thoughtful comfort and artful relief to many readers.”
The long goodbye: End of life memoir for father gritty, honest, moving
Talk to people while you can folks! Today is the perfect time. Thanks to @montecristo_mag for publishing this essay and photos of my father. Dad’s age 91 is the starting point for my memoir The Home Stretch. #memoir #novascotia #annapolisvalley #eldercare #nonagenarian #90yearsold #nonfiction #arsenalpulppress (at Annapolis Valley, NS) https://montecristomagazine.com/essay/never-late-listen-closely-90-year-old-dad-stories
When you don’t have obsession, when you don’t have hang-up, ... opening quote from Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche. Sets a mood, but then The Home Stretch veers off into another, all too human, direction. #thehomestretchbook #dzongsarkhyentserinpoche #epigraph #memoir #nonfictionbooks #bookstagram #whatimreading #booklover #booknerd #dharma #inspirationalquotes https://www.instagram.com/p/CBGQuqDn7EW/?igshid=dkp8ltl3brlq
subTerrain magazine, new issue. From the editorial by Oliver Hockenhull: “The enemy of utopia isn’t dystopia, but oligarchy. We are living in a time of disinformation designed to unravel what remains of a consistent and progressive world story; the Enlightenment that is an abiding in enquiry and the demos as a means of creation and confession.” #subterrainmagazine #literature #scifi #strongwords #politenation #shortfiction #nonfiction (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA1jI_pnGRn/?igshid=1cv8oonig13xt
This book was recently published by @arsenalpulp. It’s my first creative non-fiction book, and grew out of a series of visits to see my father, in his nineties, in small town Nova Scotia.

All over the world much-loved creatures split their seams and lose their stuffing. Rarely seen, however, is the “ghost stuffing” phenomenon—shown here sitting on a fence, judging the unseen world through vacant eyes. #ghostcat #ghosts #ghoststuffing #creepy (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_5RCa8HcG6/?igshid=u2xvjxk8hu82

He was asking for memories, too young himself to know that memories were only memories of memories.Â

The high, thin nose was a little lonely, a little sad, but the bud of her lips opened and closed smoothly, like a beautiful little circle of leeches.

We're going through some of our backlist titles to make them available as ebooks, and this week I've been working on ManBug, by George K. Ilsley. It's a series of fragments that slowly expose the complicated relationship between Sebastian, an entomologist with Asperger's, and Tom, a dyslexic bisexual.
