I am an author living and writing in Northern Ontario, Canada. I write mostly science fiction but have also written historical fiction.

My latest historical fiction. The incredible story of two brothers negotiating the turmoil of the Russian Revolution in Southern Ukraine. Interesting that many of the battle areas are the same as today. #books #russianrevolution

Freezing rain, sleet, snow, and thunder and lightning during the sleet. A very interesting day. Sure appreciate the sanders who kept the roads passable all day.

Had an awesome cross country ski yesterday. Today, it's freezing rain. We'll see what that does to the trails.

I think today was the last cross country ski for the season. I'll give a find wax and put them to bed.

It got up to 1 C yesterday then plunged overnight making the ski trails lousy. That may be the end of the ski season.

If you want to support Greenland, here are some ideas. Look for their fish and shrimp in your grocery store, usually under Royal Greenland. They have skincare made from Greenlandic plants. www.faire.com/fr-ca/brand/...

Does anyone have any ideas of how to support Greenland as they are under threat of a hostile takeover from a foreign power? Products they sell in N. America? Websites? #greenland

Home from the winter trip touring Spain and Portugal. Incredible sights but lots of rain. We are back to the snow which I prefer. At least in the snow, you can do things without getting wet.

Dear countries across the water. Canada has just gone through a difficult breakup. We're looking for a rebound partner. Or partners. The more, the better. Let's get together for social and financial interactions. Cooperation is strength. We wanna be friends. #Europe #Asia #SAmerica #Australi #Africa

If you look on the top of this immense cliff, west coast, Portugal, there is a fisherman with his line in the water. That's commitment. #travel
