It might be the most important interview I’ve ever participated in given the pivotal, uncertain times for Canada/USA relations. My conversation with @RickSteves and fellow Canadian author Wade Davis was broadcast on 600+ @PBS stations this past weekend. ricksteves.com/watch-read-li…

Nature lovers and outdoorsy folks can be hard to buy for (gear can be expensive and is so specific). Fortunately, we’ve got a book for that! buff.ly/3OI4UR7 #HolidayShopping #GiftGuide #Outdoors #NatureLovers

Thank you, @InkroadsRick , for delivering such an inspiring keynote at the 2024 Unama’ki - Cape Breton Tourism Summit! Your insights left a lasting impact! #TourismLeadership
I was offered a wonderful opportunity to deliver the keynote address about "Cathedral Thinking" at last week's Cape Breton Tourism Summit hosted by @CBITTN_ & @DestCapeBreton. One of the world’s “best islands” and with an incredible future.

A big thank you to @hhpublishing for producing this book trailer for Slumach's Gold, the new version of which was released earlier this week. Watch the video to see Brian, Mary & me explain why we've spent the past 50 years telling this fascinating story. youtube.com/watch?v=pIGKwoWq…

A big thank you to the ~70 friends and neighbours who attended my "PREDtalk" at @PredatorRidge last night! In addition to talking about the new edition of Slumach's Gold, I also had the chance to talk about my travels over the years, and how they've inspired my writing.
