Ten years in the waiting, The Seventh Seal has dropped……and goddamn, that is one bad record. Really awful.

It’s like Marlon Brando making his big return to acting by guest starring on Everybody...

1) Don’t save good ideas for “later on”. When I first started writing novels, I would hold onto my darlings, such as an original metaphor. But in time I realized, that if get your best bits of inspiration down straightaway, more will follow.

As the weather turns against us and holidays approach, many Canadians will eagerly begin to plan their winter escapes to hotter climes. Each year, hundreds of thousands of us travel to the island of Cuba, to enjoy the sun, surf and hospitality for which the island is justly famous. But the island is infamous, too.
