I'm not a painter, but I like to paint. My kids love to paint too. Here is a series of paintings I did in 2020-21. Saint John cityscapes, Streetsville buildings, and a few others.

2021
2020 was a productive year for me. I finally (finally) finished THE BOULEVARD and
am shopping it again. The highly-respected and super-awesome Bethany Gibson
helped me get the manuscript to where it is today and I'm hopeful I'll find a
home for it soon. It's an odd story and so I expected it would take some time
for it to sell. I'm in no hurry. 
As for new work, I have finished reading the
first draft of my Streetsville novel LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER (and yes, I used the
same title as the famous Roald Dahl short story). After the first reading I'm
happy with it; it works. There is naturally work to do, but as a whole, it
should be easier to find a home for it, as it is straight literary fiction like
my Saint John novels.
I have also finished reading the first draft of my novella
ANIMALS. This is a weird one too, and it will no doubt be difficult to sell, but
hey, I'm writing what I want to write. As my editor at Oberon Press, Dilshad
Engineer, once said to me, write for you; anything else -including publishing-
is a bonus.
