Launch of my new book
Hi. I’d like to invite you all to the official launch of my new book, ‘Open to the Skies.’ Published by Merlin Star Press, it is the story of a woman who decides to save an old church from destruction, for reuse as a writers’ retreat. I will be reading from the book and there will be snacks and a chance to see a few of my paintings of old buildings in peril. It will be at the Gallery on Queen in Fredericton (406 Queen Street) from 3:00 to 4:30 on Saturday December 6, 2025. Here is the poster! I would love to see you there!

Winner of the Blue Toy Truck!
During the month of November, when I was at a book fair and a signing, selling my new book ‘Open to the Skies,’ I displayed a blue toy truck at the booth. The ‘blue toy truck’ is a major symbol included in the book, a way of showing how community stories are a part of every church. Churches are more than just stained glass windows and candlesticks—they are places of faith and keepers of community mythology.

Each time someone bought a copy of ‘Open to the Skies,’ they entered into a draw for the blue toy truck on display. Yesterday, at Dog Eared Books in Oromocto, I drew for the winner of the toy truck. And the winner is Jeremy T. from Fredericton. I let Jeremy know today about the results of the draw and he was pleased to be the new owner of the little truck.

I will be running another draw in December when I sell books in person. This will include the official launch of ‘Open to the Skies’ at the Gallery on Queen, Fredericton, on Saturday, December 6, 2025. There will be readings from the book, a chance to see a few of my paintings of older at-risk buildings, and some snacks. Also a chance for a glimpse of the beautiful gallery and artwork on display there. I would love to see you at the launch!
