Canadian Writers Speak Out on Copyright

Wow.  It's a little disturbing to know that if my novel gets picked up for high school reading lists (yes, yes, yes!!), that teachers could copy for free?

Let the Celebrations Begin!

 
Born in the Year of the Rabbit? What the Chinese say about you, reported at TheEpochTimes

You're in good company ;-)  I'm presently burrowed up inside due to the snow storm that passed through southern Ontario this week and is heading eastward.  I am surprised that Shubenacadie Sam actually got up today!

Did you know... 2011 has also been declared International Year of Forests

I find this a beautiful coincidence. In my novel, eleven-year-old Sera Fletcher tries to make sense of her lonely world and sees the 1975 Year of the Rabbit as a year of hope with the birth of her illegitimate nephew. She is also a lover of nature, trees and an unintentional avenger, protector of a forest in her own community.
