My local liquor store.

The American wine shelf at a New Brunswick liquor store. That's a lot of product not getting purchased, in one store in one small province. Ontario used to spend $1 Billion on US liquor each year... no more!

I broke up with Threads tonight. It's gotten a bit insane over there, and feels a bit more peaceful here.

A very nice Canadian pipe and drum band who are headed to Ypres, Belgium, just ordered 40 - FORTY - copies of my book Somewhere in Flanders so they could get to know Jim Johnstone. I could cry, not because of any monetary reason (I sold them at cost) but because Jim will have 40 new friends.

Just got offered access to a couple of collections of Second World War letters and photos to write a book. I'm torn. SWW is not really in my wheelhouse, but... war time love letters totally are. What to do?!?

This issue has everything: a literary mystery by Anna Dowdall, new fiction from Susan White, a Michael Greenstein poetry review, travel tips, and an in-depth conversation between James Nowak and Kevin Andrew Heslop, a new contributor to TSR. Enjoy! www.theseaboardreview.ca/p/the-seaboa...

I had an Ontario police officer reach out to me. His pipe and drum band is playing at the Menin Gate in May. He wants them to go to visit Jim's grave and have a ceremony of remembrance, all because he read the book and felt such a deep connection with this young man. I'm so incredibly moved!

I know it's a right of passage, and I know it's not a bad review, per se, but I can't help feeling this (the book's first in 5 years) 3 star is an insult to Jim. 😟

Any authors here move their books from Amazon to Ingram and how hard was it? I do own my ISBNs.

I've begun my research into the men of the 2nd Canadian Infantry Battalion who are buried alongside Jim Johnstone, in R.E. Farm cemetery. These three, and the ones I'll be covering in the coming weeks, all died between October 1915 & March 1916. heathermcbriartyauthor.ca/blog/#soldie...
