I'm so grateful to Canada Council for the Arts, the Public Lending Right program, and Canadian libraries and librarians for supporting Canadian authors! I just received my annual PLR payment, and what a boost that is! Thank you so much, Canada Council! 🇨🇦📚 publiclendingright.ca #ireadcanadian

September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month. 🩸 Both cancers my daughter faced were blood cancers: follicular lymphoma (diag at age 29) & primary CNS lymphoma (age 34), which are both types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. 🩸 For more info about blood cancers, please visit www.bloodcancers.ca or www.lls.org
