I wrote a book about curling that is out this fall. I’m very proud of it and it’s designed to be enjoyed by anyone from the most staunch curling hater to the person who just goes to the curling club on a Friday night to “hang out”. You may pre-order it now and I’d be thrilled if you did
EXCITING NEWS! I have written a book about curling, designed to be enjoyed by curlers and non-curlers alike, out on Douglas and McIntyre on October 14. Pre-orders available now:

Yes!! I want to put down my phone and get more subscription s.
I do love my magazines.
I got out of the habit of reading magazines bc of the social pressure of writers reading what's trendy/popular or frankly expected of you.
This year, I've dedicated myself back to reading magazines and I'm truly having the time of my life.
