I’m an author, photographer and cancer warrior from Victoria, Canada. Just starting up my bluesky account. If you follow, expect lots of photos of my beautiful breakwater. #fuckcancer #writers

Most photographers prefer the shade or the sun, but not both at the same time. This evening I specifically wanted to capture the tension of summer begrudgingly releasing its hold & the first chill breath of winter. Autumnal tides of light & darkness. #fuckcancer

My first official signing of Gnome With No Comb! My Zumba class was cancelled but one of my fellow dancers bought 4 copies of my new book for her grandchildren! It means so much to be supported by community! #ovariancancersurvivor #pediatriccancer #book #yyj

Look at how spoiled we Dutch people are with these wonderful bike lanes ♥️

A bike lane with thin trunk trees and green grass at both sides. Morning sun coming from the right casting long shadows of trees and a cyclist. On the left there's a road with a car and a building behind, on the right a parking lot.

A massive thank you to Victoria Buzz for writing about my new kids’ book, A Gnome With No Comb, inspired by young cancer warriors!!! It’s so amazing to see this book I put together over the 7 dark months of chemo being shared in my community! #cancer #yyj

Congratulations, to her! 🥳

Also — an interesting lesson in this decision for others who, you know, might want a shot at this prize one day.

It sure isn’t Robert. I compare it to Luke Skywalker hijacking a Death Star ray to send energy to rebel colonies. The medium is not the message. The love is. @markhamillofficial.bsky.social

My online cancer community around the world made my book a bestseller on Amazon. Today, A Gnome With No Comb visited The Jane Austen Centre in Bath. There were tears. 🥹🥹🥹

A massive thank you to everyone who has ordered copy of A Gnome With No Comb! The book inspired by young cancer warriors made it to the top bestseller spot for children’s humourous poetry! Not bad for a book I created while going through the hell if chemo.

Oh you must be so proud of him! What a story of hope. The book is really about inclusivity so it will really resonate with the autism and allergy community. My own children have anaphylaxis to multiple allergens
