Like a good cup of coffee, I'm distinctively bitter, yet spirited with a hint of sweetness.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.
Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

A number of weeks ago, I mentioned that I keep a "craft journal" — a journal that's about the books I've read with analysis through the lens "how can this inform my writing?"
Many iterations later, have a free PDF of what I'm calling "Reading Selfishly:"

Just finished this well-researched and important book. It was a difficult read and while most of the book is infuriating snd horrifying, Westhead does end it by showing the steps people are starting to take to unravel and dismantle toxic hockey culture. Highly recommend.
My new book, WE BREED LIONS: Confronting Canada’s Troubled Hockey Culture is coming this fall.
Hockey in Canada is at crossroads. Current and former junior players have been shockingly open with me. There is much to explore and discuss.
