Quote with your favourite villain

You know all those brilliant ideas you have at 11.30 on a Sunday after 4 beers and a 20km bike ride? They're brilliant, right?

Regina folk: anyone else got no (Access) internet right now?

Book hangover after finishing Strange Sally Diamond. Dark, but sooooo good. #booksky 📚💙

Also, worst bike path obstruction of the week... (Actually it's been there a year already...sigh)

Day 13 of #30daysofbiking: book delivery out to the east end. 19km in 59 mins. No half bad!!

If you offer to beta-read or critique someone’s manuscript and you feed that manuscript into ChatGPT to get “feedback” and pass it off as your own critique… You’re a bad person.

I also bought a cool hat.

Day 11 of #30daysofbiking. Accidentally pedaled to the bookstore (well, ok, Chapters 😭) and bought books about bike lanes.

The prophecy approaches... Two more days until the real "Liberation Day"... Come onnnnnnnnnn Simpsons!!!! 🤞

What do we want? Em dash on the keyboard! When do we want it? Now!

Day 9 of #30daysofbiking : in which I get yelled at for daring to ride on the road after the bike lane just stops randomly... (I hate harbour landing)

Day 8 of #30daysofbiking : we went for icecream because it was positive double-digits for the first time in 2025. (10°c)

legitimately worried about my local shop

Day 7 of #30daysofbiking : I got to 999km since May 1st last year. Debated whether to cycle round the block a few more times, but it can wait til tomorrow.

Day 6 of #30daysofbiking: evening pedal through Les Sherman park. I disturbed some ducks who were splashing about in the snow run off that covered most of the bike path.

It's our birthday! Although we were working behind the scenes in the run up, Pete's Press officially launched on April 6th '24. In that time we have published 11 books, three with multiple authors meaning we've worked with over 30 authors in 6 countries. We cannot wait to see what year 2 brings!

Day 5 of #30daysofbiking - Wascana lake is thawing, slowly. And the geese are back.

Hey! Alberta! You just need to convince 5 UCP MLAs to vote against Danielle Smith in a confidence motion to bring her government down. Just FIVE! You can do it! She's clearly not fit to govern! #abpoli en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_...

Y’all gotta go read books. There’s no way around it. Read books. Form your own opinions. LEARN THINGS. READ BOOKS WHILE LIBRARIES ARE STILL AROUND

Day 4 of #30daysofbiking: out for Poutine!

I have decided my goal with my current venture is not to get rich. It's to get comfortable. I would feel much more like an adult if I weren't sitting in a diner checking online banking to see if I can afford another drink.

We've been in Canada 13 years today!! Still the best decision ever.
