Merry Christmas

Who are we kidding?

But seriously, welcome everyone to this December Newsletter, full of surprises, including free gifts for you to download right now.

I am back in Calgary, where the cold weather makes it easier to tolerate two weeks of Covid isolation.

David and I ordered the smallest organic turkey we could find. There are chestnuts for the stuffing, Christmas pudding on the shelf, the makings of brandy butter, and a few special presents still to buy.

Beyond those items, and more important, I have the things that the heroine of my novel The Greenleaf Project, was so desperate to find:

meaning, purpose and people to love.

I hope that you also have the last of those, and that the resources and treats I share here help with the others.

Let's start with your present because why not!

I've made you a poster and images of one of the most popular poems from my book EXPLODE: Poetry for Activists.

Just click the button and you can choose a PDF, or JPEGS sized to fit nicely into 5 x 7 inch frames.

If you have the book, you will know that it has black and white illustrations, so this is your chance to enjoy the original full-colour painting that goes with the words.

I'm not going to tell you which one it is, go and see, or listen to me read it on Instagram, or on Youtube (pretty scary).

The painting is called Unquenchable Fire and was my first ever sale back in 2016.
