Once again, the response to “Faces in the Crowd” was extraordinary. The recently retired Dr. Robert Sers was obviously revered by his peers but more importantly by the thousands of people that he helped through difficult times with caring, compassion and skill.
For many of you, this was your first introduction to my writing. While I love writing these “living tributes,” I cut my teeth writing short humour stories. Now I realize that everybody can’t live in Antigonish ( although we would welcome you with open arms! ), so for those of you new to Week45 and who live in far flung places, take note.
I have published three books of short stories about everyday life. They are available for purchase on my website but I want you to know that I’ve just inked a deal with the Chronicle Herald and they are carrying my books at their on line store. As an introductory offer, you can buy all three volumes for the low, low price of $40. ( a $55. value )… and they’ll ship them right to your door.
Go to the link, click on my book “Family, Friends and Foibles” and fill your cart! Thanks. http://shop.thechronicleherald.ca/East_Coast_Books_Posters
So I’m just back from a week’s vacation in Florida with my brother. We parted in Halifax this morning and on his way home to Amherst, he hit an animal and rendered his car “ non- functional.” This, in and of itself, is not shocking. However, it was broad daylight, the animal was a raccoon and ( ahem ), the raccoon was already dead. I’m not making this up but I may turn my full attention to this with a story… or penning a country and western song!
Have a great week.
