Summertime

Lacking the time (or the dollars) for a trip this summer, I'm "stay-cationing" with some urban hiking and hitting local spots.  It's amazing how little I actually knew about some of the places nearby.

Toronto Islands:

Sunnyside Beach

Niagara Gorge

Elvis at the Falls: (really, it was him!)

Inkitt Editor's Pick: Black Dog

This is exciting! Alexandra MacDonald, Editor at Inkitt.com has selected "Black Dog" as an Inkitt Editor's Pick!

Here's her feedback (via email, and I hope she doesn't mind me publicly quoting her):

"Black Dog is a gripping, gritty period piece. Historical literature often falls flat but you have managed to write an engaging story with a wonderfully executed plot. The world your narrative creates feels natural, the character interactions feel genuine, and your approach toward drama within that period translates very well to modern readers."

Great news, great feedback and great way to start my day!

If you haven't read "Black Dog" yet, harken on over to http://www.inkitt.com/stories/15411  and enjoy.
