                    FEBRUARY 16TH FANTASTIC NEWS!

I am very excited to be sending this message along to you. For the third time in five years my writing has been shortlisted in the CBC Literary Awards national competition. 
 
 
Following closely on the heels of the CBC Shortlist Announcement, I am presenting an excerpt of my creative non-fiction lyrical memoir "The Other Side of Here," at the International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease in Greece in March. The presentation will combine a reading of an excerpt from the text with a self-produced dance-themed film clip, intended to serve as a cinematic metaphor for the essence of the writing.
