Huge thanks to Jed Doherty, host of the wonderful Reading With Your Kids Podcast for a fun conversation about HAUNTED, digging into why kids love scary stories and how they can help young readers build courage, empathy, and real‑world coping skills.

Guess who just discovered starter packs and saw a great opportunity to make one for all the guests we've had on the show! The list is ongoing as we have the time to search through our guest list and then see if they are on bluesky! Give us a shoutout if we've missed someone. go.bsky.app/Kq2bQfA

That's great to know, Melissa! I lived in TO for 20 years before moving to BC. The winters are a lot milder. Loved Quebec btw...especially the old town with buskers in summer, cobblestone streets, and cute shops.

Had a super time at the Don Ross Middle School with students from Grade 7-9 part of Authors in Schools thanks to Whistler Writers Festival. Discussed the inspiration behind GHOST QUEEN @orcabook.bsky.social and tips on writing scary fiction!

As a past instructor, I can’t recommend the Writing Excuses Retreats enough. Fun times with @fondalee.bsky.social
They still have seats available for their fall cruise, which includes a storytelling masterclass with award-winning @maryrobinettekowal. www.tickettailor.com/events/writi...
