I’m doing a fundraiser to support a local family that needs a hand. $20/ticket.
I can’t ship due to the mail strike but non-local folks are warmly welcomed to buy tickets as mutual aid and I can put tickets in the names of local elders!

I was touched to stop in at Munro’s Books in Victoria and find my book, Crushed Wild Mint, is a staff pick! I signed their copies too, so if you’re after a copy — you could stop by Munro’s! They always have the best fancy pens for authors to sign. 😌

Today I popped into Ivy’s Bookshop on Oak Bay Ave in Victoria to pick up some new reads. And while I was there I signed a copy of #CrushedWildMint, so if you’re after an autographed copy stop on by!

I have the privilege of running a beautiful organization called Qqs Society. I spent ~15 years as the fundraiser for Qqs and have been the Executive Director for 5+ years.
The seeds of Qqs’ work started in the mid-90s and it was incorporated as a society in 1999 and a charity in 2001.

Last Friday, the coast guard brought our little Indigenous community 2 humans who had been adrift on a damaged sailboat for nearly 3 weeks before they were rescued. They arrived in Bella Bella with the clothes on their backs.
