My debut novel came out years ago, yet over the past week I’ve had 3 different people reach out to tell me how moved they were by the story. One person said it helped her process the loss of her spouse. There’s such power in writing, and the work lives on long after it’s born.

My new book has a cover, and I’m over the moon with its moody mystique. Kudos to talented designer Emma Dolan and the entire team at @PenguinCanada for giving this book such care.
What do you think? I’d love to know!
Got an advance copy of my new novel that’s coming out next spring, and I’m pointing at one of my favourite lines in the entire book. Kudos to @penguinrandom for including this on the copyright page for all new and reprinted books going forward.
- Get organized and educate others. Join local groups committed to the cause. Speak openly to influence those around you.
- Make lifestyle changes that suit you. Eat less meat. Buy less fast fashion. Take transit more. There’s so much we can do to make a positive impact.
💚
- Be careful with what you may be funding with your own money. Many investment portfolios fund fossil fuels and arms manufacturing. Speak with your planner/advisor to ensure your investments align with your values.
- Influence policymakers. Contact your local reps by phone, email, or in person. They’ll want to know what their constituents care about, esp during election season.
- Vote!

Step 1: hold the worst offenders (BIG OIL) accountable to capping emissions and transitioning to clean energy. Stop letting banks/politicians put $$ in their pockets.
This is the best I could come up with for today’s #GlobalClimateStrike, but at least it sums up my message: we’re behind the 8-ball, yes, but we still have a chance to avert climate devastation if we act now, together.
