Historian & Novelist: I write History from evidence; and Novels from life. Together, I am figuring out the world one sentence at a time.

Saddened to learn of passing of Mary Munson. We only worked together once, on "Saving Louisbourg", but she had a long and accomplished career with CBC. And recently published her first book.

@AnneMarieLaneJ1 @stillots1 @lyn3690 It looks like everyone will sooner or later get Covid. Hope yours is mild. Mine was back in late June. Get well soon.

Creators have waited 10+ years to be paid when schools outside QC copy their works. I’m counting on @AndyFillmoreHFX to push the govt to fulfill its promise to fix our Copyright Act. @JustinTrudeau @FP_Champagne @pablorodriguez #IValueCdnStories #cdnpoli

@l4smith @AnneMarieLaneJ1 @ruralcolonialNS @kirimsa Louisbourg was a wonderful project to work on. I arrived in 1977. The buildings were all up by that point so Ken Donovan, Sandy Balcom and I researched and wrote about social, religious snd military history. Great to be part of a team.

@AnneMarieLaneJ1 @l4smith @ruralcolonialNS @kirimsa The Beatles mug was supplied by Jim Campbell (artifact specialist in Archaeology). It was an evocative touch. In truth, I don’t drink coffee and never did. Horst Paufler (Head of Exhibits) asked me to pose as the Historian.

Brilliant idea. Authors receiving royalties on sales of their resold books. @twuc @WritersFedofNS https://t.co/coqD5Wfs3V

[A J B Johnston @AJBJohnston]

@twuc @WritersFedofNS This is a great idea: authors receiving compensation from reader of their "used" books. https://t.co/LuNuW5Ba07

Here is a link to a conversation co-author Jesse Francis and I had with Radio-Canada's Nathalie Geddry. The focus was our new book, "Ancient Land, New Land," published by Acorn Press. #acornpress
