Shortlisted for the GG!

My book about SpockGonzoing the Wild Fandango has been shortlisted for a nice award! Or, my book about being despised in social space, despised in professional space, and yet somehow bringing a special solidarity as a parent to my intellectually disabled child, has been shortlisted for an award! Do consider ordering from Palimpsest Press or from your local bookshop. And further FYI, I’ll be on Craig Norris’ Morning Edition of CBC KW around 810 am Wednesday Oct. 29, livestream here. Looking forward to the conversation . . .

Guelph!

Part of the permatour! Surprising sales at the Albion last Tuesday night, great crowd. Thanks to River Street for running a great ship. And people came from work, NO WAY, that’s a feat rarely accomplished. With thanks to those friends especially.

CBC appearances for What_to_feel,_How_to_feel

Some attention from the CBC this past weekend for What to Feel, How to Feel: (1) Fresh Air in Toronto w/ Ismaila Alfa, https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-193-fresh-air/clip/16156349-what-feel-how-feel-essays-neurodiversity-fatherhood. Other appearances w/ (2) Nadia Kidwai of the Weekend Morning Show of CBC Manitoba, truly a delight for me, she took such care; (3) w/ Todd O’Brien of CBC Newfoundland and Labrador’s Weekend AM; and (4) CBC Saskatchewan Weekend’s Shauna Powers. Yay!
