It's Back to Work This Weekend!

Unbelievably, my first July-August holiday in Canada since 1959 has ended. It seems like only yesterday that I sat at my computer to draft the newsletter telling you I was about to take a break!

So how did I use my summer off? First, I recharged my batteries. Throughout the summer, I’ve enjoyed long walks through nearby neighborhoods and the great parks of Newmarket and Aurora, in Ontario. They know me at the gym again. After some slippage earlier in the year, I’ve managed two or three good workouts per week over the summer.

I’ve done some reading. Admittedly, not as much as I had hoped, but still a satisfying amount. I’ve worked in my wife’s garden. Weeding that garden and maintaining our yard have been satisfying ways of stretching and using muscles that are often neglected in the world of writing. But this week, I’m back to reality and the promotion of my novels in Indigo stores across Ontario.

You may have already seen a social media post or two as I let folks know where they can find me on weekends. You’ll probably see more in the weeks to come. Again, I’d like to emphasize how much you help me with only a little time and effort. When you see a post and “like” it, the social media algorithms immediately show that post to more people. When you make a “comment” on the post, even more viewers see my message. And when you “forward” a post to your friends with a favorable comment, a larger number of people will again see my post. I’ll be grateful for every like, comment, and share you make!

And here’s my schedule for September. If there’s an event in your area, please feel welcome to drop by and say hello!
