Well, that was a rather exciting and action packed summer. Loads of adventures including a road trip around Southern Alberta for story research, a trip to Victoria for cocktails and general and specific mayhem, and a scorching and challenging fifty kilometer trail ultramarathon in Kalamalka Lake Park (Vernon, B.C.).

On the publishing side, The Seventh Terrace published two novellas – Someone Else’s Story by Laird Ryan States and 30 to 50 Feral Hogs by Dayna Ingram. We’re also finishing up the next entry in our Purgatorio series, this one a flash holiday anthology titled Solstice in Purgatory. It’s looking fabulous and will be out in November.

On the writing side, I recently sold a short story called The Loveseat. More details on this once I can share! I’m also working on a pile of prairie gothic related stories including a novel. Pretty stoked about this project.

In more professional news, I’m now the VP of AWCS (Alexandra Writers’ Centre) for the next year. That should prove interesting.

And I’m co-hosting the October Connections Brewing (Calgary) event next Monday. Come on down!
