Thank you @scwrittenarts for hosting me this past weekend🙏

What a thrill to meet authors and readers and talk about my book, 📕 Fallosophy in such a beautiful place.

Special thanks to all the volunteers and my husb for pushing me up and around the scenic but challenging terrain ⛰️ 🌲 🖤

Such a treat to share the stage with author Deirdre Simon Dore and moderator @megzycole at the unbelievably beautiful @scwrittenarts festival this weekend.

Deirdre’s book A Reluctant Mother is dark and funny and awesome. Check it out! (Also, both our books start out on Halloween night. How cool is that? 👻)

ID: two authors dorking out and taking on-stage selfies before their presentation bc they’re so pumped to be here

2) me and Megan chilling in the book tent after signing copies of Fallosophy (including a 📕 that someone brought from the library 😵 so keep an eye out for that!)

3) the gorgeous open air theatre where the festival is held 🖤

Flew @porterairlines to Vancouver yesterday and was surprised to see a closet for personal wheelchairs inside the cabin 👍

But here’s the plot twist: I asked why I hadn’t been offered this space for my transport chair and was told they prefer to use it for cabin crew luggage.

50 points for saying the quiet part out loud, @porterairlines Minus a million points for following thru on accessibility initiatives.

Fortunately, Optimus Prime wasn’t damaged (always a concern when flying), tho for some reason he was soaking wet 🤔

If it’s raining, I’m not going…unless it’s from my door to the car. But it’s book tour szn and “indoor girl” isn’t always an option.

This @lululemon seated-fit rain poncho is cropped in the back and covers my knees while sitting. It’s lightweight, easy to get on and roomy enough for layers. Plus it’s super cute. And I got it on sale 🤩
