Airy illustrations, playful, British dialogue and sprightly dipping, gliding narrative give flight to a zany father-daughter adventure that dances delicately between tenderness, tomfoolery, hope and despair landing lightly in the comfort of allied abandon.

Spare, natural dialogue, carefully chosen details and keenly expressive illustrations keep us alternately giggling and cringing at the delicate shifts of sentiment from uncertainty and admiration through flattery, imitation, loss of self and then frustration in this celebration of selfhood found.

Gilgamesh Press / Morrigan Books have accepted my story 'When The Cloak Falls' for their anthology, The Age of Blood and Snow.
The anthology is edited by Skadi meic Beorh and is slated for publication around about Christmas time. I know what everyone is getting for Chrismas this year.

A veneer of feigned pleasantries can’t conceal the ceaseless, senseless competition that corrupts then consumes former friends in this deliciously absurd yet apt demonstration of misguided attention and life misspent.

The cheeky mother-replacement schemings of a disgruntled son and a crackerjack combination of collage, paint and cleverly carefree scrawling make this hilarious showdown between the delights of imagined control and the irreplaceable affection of a loving mom a pore-over-each-page favourite.

Thoughtful, unhurried narrative and rich, enveloping art capture the clutter and compassion of two celebrated sculptors, a fledgling robin’s rescue and the birth of a life-changing friendship.
You can learn more about sculptors Frances Loring and Florence Wyle here. Read about the recently published adult book, And Beauty Answers: The Life of Frances Loring and Florence Wyle, here.
Aha! I found a photo of their studio church on Glenrose Avenue!

The quote from Emily (Micahel Bedard and Barbara Cooney) referred to in this episode:
“What is poetry?” I asked.
… “Listen to Mother play. She practices and practices a piece, and sometimes a magic happens and it seems the music starts to breathe. It sends a shiver through you. You can’t explain it, really; it’s a mystery. Well, when words do that, we call it poetry.”

What a turn around... Seventy-two hours response time. Far removed from the old snail mail days. Building up my suspense here... Wait for it...
The short story 'The Shoes, the Giant and the Wizard of...', which I was hoping would be accepted for inclusion in Residential Aliens Silly Fantasy Anthology has been ACCEPTED!!! First acceptance of the year (she says in the hope that there will be more, more, more).
A few whoops, and jumps in the air, and an urge to run around the room only it's very, very, broom cupboard small...
And for anyone thinking of submitting a story. Here are the details you need.
What: Silly Fantasy Anthology
Word Count: 100 to 3000 words.
When: Submissions open December 1, 2007 through March 1, 2008
Where: Submit stories to SillyFantasy @ gmail . com
How: RTF or Word Doc attachment, Type "SUB [Title]" in the subject line.
Who's behind this: Crystalwizard & ResAliens(Residential Aliens is the Sponsoring Zine!)

What do we mean by silly fantasy? You silly person, have you never watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail? Make us fall off the chair and roll around on the floor, laughing.
Target audience age: 14 and up+ Keep it PG 13 or cleaner
Stories, bad puns and other sorts of silliness will be happily considered.

Full of understated humour and told from the perspective of a disgruntled older brother, this hilarious tale of family forbearance gives fresh meaning to the “It’s just a phase” refrain.
Sadly, this is another wonderful book which has fallen out of print. I hope your library has a copy.
You can read about the quote “Let them eat cake!” here.

Fast-paced, must-memorize rhyme, a pack of unruly pooches and a sprinkling of romance made this explosion of canine character a family favourite before the ink had time to dry.

We want them to follow the rules. We want them to think for themselves. This softly sweet and thoroughly entertaining book may help them understand why.

I love you Stinky face is my favorite book to read to my son and has beenf or the past 2 years. He reaches for it every time I ask him to get a book to read. I now get it for all of my new mom friends. It’s a fun book, you can make lots of funny voices, and my son can now read along with me!
