Blessed to meet an amazing West Coast crew back in the day at The Music People/In-A-Minute Records building and have them sign a promo pic for me.

I don't recall that I was even there for the drop-in appearance of Tha Alkaholiks.

I was there for some damn music related reason, but I'm glad I was there for whatever that reason was because Tha 'liks were very cool cats to chop it up with.

Thrilled to be on the CBC Bestsellers list for a SECOND week! Huge gratitude for indie booksellers across this country, from Lunenburg to Victoria, who are championing THE HYSTERICALS - your belief and trust means everything to me ❤️

And thank YOU, dear reader!!! “Could not put this down” as your consistent response to a dystopia (in a dystopia) is the best compliment of all time 😫

Please keep sharing your thoughts with me, I love hearing everything!!! (2 of my friends have confessed their fave character is…Berniece?!? 🤣)

Isla’s view right now. How lucky is she to live here and enjoy this vista, when she’s not making casket sprays at FlowerPower!, her shop in THE LITTLE WAY.

A few cool things I’m loving these days. Just for fun I wanted to share a few things I’m loving these days.
I always support local first and what a gift to have such cool badass creative friends in my world.
Tell me in the comments if you’ve tried/or will try any of these fav things!
@missmustardseed ‘s new book is “chefs kiss”😘 perfect. Move Slow and Make Things. It’s the book I honestly believe we all need right now in our lives. (should I start sharing book reviews here?! 🤔 Let me know).
Go buy her book right now at your local bookshop.
@loopywoolsupplies collaboration with my Mr @eastcoastphotoguy is just the best. Creative. Wool. Coastal. 👌
Visit Chris’s website to order your rughooking or felting kit. You’ll thank me later.
@lovefreshdotcom from @thepaintedpineapplemoncton - don’t even think about it. You deserve wonderful yummy micro upgrades-and a fabulous lotion is just a click away.
Lisa has this whole line @thepaintedpineapplemoncton and now has online shopping…so…um…just go get it. 🙌
@pix_and_stones book is amazing. Check it out.
@blockshopbooks here in Lunenburg carries the best books and journals. Check them out.

So many good things made by so many good humans.
Tell me what you’re loving from this list.
Happy weekend friends!

Given this current anti-trans climate, I’m more grateful than ever to the various programmers / hosts of these events and really can’t wait to be in the same room with all of you ❤️❤️❤️

Link for more info, to pre-order THE HYSTERICALS (out Sept 29!) and to sign up for the Toronto launch in bio.

So incredibly grateful to have reached a point in this endeavour where I can step back and take a little break, knowing that the shop and all of our visitors will be in good hands! Having Cortney and Elizabeth join the Larkspur orbit has been so wonderful!

Naturally, I can’t go anywhere without finding the local bookshops. Thankfully Nova Scotia had no shortage of them!

If you’re ever looking for the best bookish holidays, ask a bookseller - we love to tell you about all of the bookshops we’ve visited on our travels!
