I subscribe to various online publications and groups many featuring Canadian artists. I thought it would be fun to share some of the items. I hope you learn more about Canadian arts and culture. I know I probably will.

He has published thirteen novels, a collection of short stories, seven nonfiction books, and a number of dramatic works and screenplays for film and television.
