Volunteering for the #ForeverCanadian project has been a rewarding experience. It was good to hear individuals from across the political spectrum share what being Canadian means to them personally. 🇨🇦🤎🇨🇦

First watch: Poulet au vinaigre (1985, aka "Cop au vin"!). Not, despite the puntastic title, a comedy, but full of dark wit & sardonic detachment. When Inspecteur Lavardin (Jean Poiret) arrives about half way through to investigate a murder conspiracy in a small town, he seems respectable enough 1/2

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose.

“They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a man in California wrote.

Per usual, Trump has lied about every aspect of this. He now says it'll cost 50% more than when he announced it. He now says it'll be much bigger than originally planned. He said he wouldn't touch the East Wing, and he's now demolishing it. He said he would accept input from US agencies, but hasn't.

My review of #DarkerDays by Thomas Olde Heuvelt is live on #damppebbles!

The premise is utterly irresistible. A superb story with stand out characters, a perfect setting and a twisty storyline.

New interview! Ahead of Halloween and spooky season, I spoke to the marvellous Alexandra/AK Benedict - "My absolute favourite part about being a writer is a new idea striking, followed by the process of expanding the idea into a fictional world"
#BookSky

Interview: AK Benedict

The Five By Five Interview with AK Benedict Alexandra/AK Benedict was on a panel one of the first years I went to Bloody Scotland, around the time of Jonathan Dark or The Evidence Of Ghosts. I bought it, and loved it; a police procedural and ghost story and so much more, blended into something entirely different. (She was also fabulously dressed, and delighted when I complimented her on her boots!) Publishing has finally cottoned on to the fact readers like genre-fluid stories, and her novels are finding the audience they so richly deserve - her name on the cover tempted me to read…
