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,…

Clay Peterson & Michael Harmon
So one of the films that both Sue and I enjoyed immensely this year at Hot Docs was the documentary Finding Truelove. Sue, moments after having seen it, messaged Sam the director and asked if we could meet with them while they were here in town. Finally, the fates aligned as much as they…
Sylvia Caminer & Melanie Lentz-Janney
Sue and I walked out of the Rick Springfield doc An Affair of the Heart, at the Hot Docs Film Festival, won over as fans. I admittedly knew little of Rick, but for the fact that he was in the original Battlestar Galactica series opener as Apollo’s doomed brother, and of course Jessie’s Girl….
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….
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…
Guidestones
Sue and I discovered the web-series Guidestones at the Fan Expo Comic Con earlier this month, and have enjoyed every minute of it, from the storytelling to the hunting for clues. It’s a fan, interactive series, and one we wanted to follow-up on the moment we were introduced to it. So we sat down…
Sex After Kids Perks and Cast!
Sex After Kids, the new indie film from our good friend Jeremy LaLonde is closing in on it’s budget goal of $50,000! BUT!!! There’s still time to donate, or add to the donations you’ve already given! And as Jeremy is quick to point out… they aren’t just asking for your hard-earned money, you get perks…
Not Live from the Dal! It’s The Lost Girl Finale Pre-Show!
In a quiet, unassuming, little grey building on the west side of Toronto, Sue and I stepped into the heart of the Fae world. I was going to say the Fae world itself, but we get a lot of that actually wandering around the city. But anyway, after a little bit of waiting in a…
Breakfast with Tim & April Part 2
So back in December Sue and I sat down with our good friends, and wicked awesome filmmakers Tim Dorion and April Mullen. We cut the interview in half because we wanted to save half of the interview for when the ball got really rolling on their latest film Dead Before Dawn 3D. After a very…
Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award – Carving The Light is a Quarterfinalist!!!
I’m still sort of in shock, and struggling to figure out what I want to say, let alone how to say it, but I promised myself that I would do my best to get some thoughts down tonight, on the eve of this very crazy day. Carving The Light was announced as one of the…
