I wrote this post in July of 2018—a lifetime ago. And yet, I wanted to share this one because I still find the waters of business to be tricky to navigate. Maybe you can relate. 💙 There is no real method to my madness when it comes to sharing my writing and certainly...

I have been tangled up with you for years in a very arms-length, don’t-get-too-close-to-me kind of way. Never have I felt worthy. Never have I felt safe. And this has been my own doing. It has been through my own unwillingness to open up, to be myself that I sit...

They sat in the garden facing one another, unable to look up. He wore sunglasses in any case. When she tried to see his eyes, she could not. Perhaps it was better that way. The space between them was heavy—laden with fear—though they carried it differently. She...

The bartender calls me Picabo, but that’s not my name. It started two years ago when I first began frequenting the Bright Eyes Bar & Grille. I sat myself down at the bar, ordered a rusty nail and pulled out the novel I’d been reading at the time. Impressed by my...

From my WIP… Manfred fell into bed with an ungraceful thud. His neighbour’s words were heavy in his head. Be better. That’s how you’ll win her back. But there were some things he simply didn’t know how to fix. He took out his phone to look at her last message...

The world feels different these days. There’s a rawness, an openness, a nowhere-to-hideness to everything, and it seems overwhelming. Just last night, Robert started to tell me something that our provincial government had done, and I had to say, “I don’t have room for...

(Read the story and keep scrolling for a sweet offer!) On Leaving Evergreens whooshed by her as she drove. Peppered between them were trees shedding leaves of burnt red and orange. Her 2001 Acura was packed to the gills. The air was just cool enough to crack the...
