LOVE. WRITE. LAUGH.
I've been a major fan of The Walkervilles since I first heard their album, Meet the Walkervilles Live at Mackenzie Hall. Their soul-shaking, Motown sound is one that jumped up on me and hasn't let go. Frankly, I don't want it to! Since then, they have put out several singles, and another album, Rebirth of the Cool (available on… Continue reading Interview with Michael Hargreaves (Musician/Songwriter – The Walkervilles)
Over a year ago (at least), Alex and I met on Goodreads. I tend to write book reviews there, especially if I love the book. Alex read one of my reviews and made contact. Thus began our blooming cyber-book-loving relationship! Gotta love the world wide web. I soon found out (by being my nosey self)… Continue reading Guest Writer – Alex Stefansson
One of the things I love about the internet is how easy it can be to connect with other writers. People like myself who are doing their best to create a unique piece of the interweb cord that can teach, inspire and create important dialogues in the world of writing.

I've only just discovered this amazing literary site myself, and as always, I'm quick to share! Erin interviewed me about Whisky Sour City,… Continue reading May Guest Writer: Erin Knight on Open Book Ontario
The first I'd heard of writer Susan Dennard was in an email blast from my alma mater (that's such a bizarre set of words!), the University of Windsor. Turns out Miss Dennard is also a graduate of this post-secondary institution. And, like me, she did not get a degree in English! Marine Biology, folks. The woman has a… Continue reading April Guest Writer – Susan Dennard – On the Art of Saying ‘No’

Ted Shaw is an Arts & Entertainment writer for The Windsor Star. He's has been a journalist since 1975. Although it was never a… Continue reading March Guest Writer – Ted Shaw
