I wasn’t sure I should write a post about Fred, I know I NEEDED to write about him and the past few days, but I wasn’t sure this was the place for it. But it was pointed out to me that I deal with my grief by writing, and that this site is for things…

White Lions And Spring At The Toronto Zoo
It would seem that a fluffy and mostly-white army has descend on the Metro Toronto Zoo as of late! First, we met our most a-dork-able polar bear cub, Hudson. The little guy is growing in leaps and bounds, and never fails to entertain with his adolescent antics. Hudson had my heart from the word…
Toronto Library’s Writer In Residence Program
One of the many wonderful things about the Toronto Public Library system is their Writer In Residence program. I’d never heard of it until a friend pointed me in that direction last year, just in time to get an except of Carving The Light submitted to the woman who was the WIR that time,…
Carving The Light – Publisher’s Weekly Review – ABNA 2012
Carving The Light did not advance to the ABNA semifinal round this morning, but as a quarterfinalist, it did receive a short review from Publisher’s Weekly – which is pretty freaking amazing, and more than I’d hoped for when I entered. After reading other contestants’ reviews, I was worried about what mine would say….
A Boy (or Girl) & His (or Her) Adventure Movie
Where have all the fun youth/tween/teen/twentysomething adventure films gone? When I was in any of those age groups listed above there were dozens of them.

Hot Docs 2012
As Sue mentioned in her Wizard World post, she (and I) love cons and film festivals. Well next week, the international Hot Docs film festival kicks into gear here in TO, and both Sue and I have been graciously given media accreditation. This is great news for us here on the site, as we were…
Lost Girl Season 3… Hints?
So Tuesday afternoon I got a press release about Season 3 of Lost Girl getting underway. All well and good, we knew it was coming, but then, the more I read the more I found out cool stuff I didn’t know… I knew I loved the show, I know Sue loved it, and I know…
Wizard World Toronto Comic Con – Sue’s Thoughts
I’m just gonna put this out there right off the bat: I go to cons a lot. As often as financially possible, really. For the past several years, conventions and film festivals have kind of been my thing. And collecting things – prop replicas, toys and the like. Yep…I am a big nerd. More or…
The Con is Over – What Now??!!
So Wizard World Comic Con is now behind us… What will Sue and I do next to get our geek fix? We’re going to Niagara Falls on June 9th! I’ve going on a press pass and will have a chance to chat with the guests and wander about and document the entire convention. Thank you…
