Literary 5/5

A beautifully literary description of a descent into madness, this is a sad and touching story told in an innocently frank voice.

The novel course is going well, and I taught a one-day workshop on writing in scene last Friday.

Thriller 5/5

Temperance Brennan, an American forensic anthropologist in Montreal, realizes the grizzly corpses she must investigate point to a serial killer, who will strike again—soon. Full of detailed forensics and police procedure, as well as centered on a compelling character, this book was a mesmerizing thriller.

Busy supporting family this week, so no new writing. A little bit of editing! Yay!

I started teaching the year-long novel course at the Alexandra Writers’ Centre (actually, half my students are writing novels and the other half are writing memoir/creative nonfiction). I’m very much enjoying it, and hopefully, they will all find it fun and productive.
