    You might have seen I have a book coming out. Next week, gosh. It’s a follow-up to my travel memoir Not Quite Lost – a set of humorous Bill Brysonesque tales that also asks serious questions. Some of those questions are unanswerable, but they swim alongside us as we do ordinary life things. They demand… Continue reading A story is unfolding in your life? That’s when writers write.

  8. Well, it looks like I'm firing up the ol' coal-powered web log… Before a new piece this month, here's some CNF first published in The Quarantine Review. It's about #adoption, academic travels in northern #BC, and discovering a beloved childhood author was an abuser (it's 1 of 3 pieces on this: a #blog, #CNF, and an #academic #article).

    Here's "Terrace Nostoi": gifford.mla.hcommons.org/2025/

  9. Here is today's blog post, a new happy snapshot, the first in weeks, featuring a picture I took of the Roman Theatre in Orange, France and my emotions hidden within.

  10. I've been tinkering around with an essay on Great Auks, and it wasn't quite working. Today I added some religious history, and now it's flowing much better. #AmWriting #essay #CNF

  13. My family has a lot of physical objects that are important to them. They're different from "heirlooms," (like jewelry or Bibles) in that they're relatively ordinary, and may or may not be passed along to anyone. What they have in common is that they connect to a story or a person. A handful that come to mind:
    - Great-grandpa's '49 Willys
    - Grandpa's briefcase
    - the tree trunk with the crank
    - the gong beds
    What are your sacred objects? What are their stories?

  21. My personal essay “Saddles in the Kitchen” has been published by Redivider.

    “In the 1970s, my family lived all over New Brunswick before settling down deep in the Appalachian hills of the Acadian forest. Every summer, we journeyed to Newfoundland to visit Dad’s family. I have snippets of memories from my infancy and early childhood. I recall being a baby on a plane with a smoking section, hoisted up to look over the rails of an icebreaker ferry called the William Carson….”
