“You smell like a man!”
When she said this,
I was taken aback.
What did a man smell like?
Sandalwood and a lingering scent of citrus?
Roses, musk and the sharp odour of masculinity?
Perhaps the soft tang of sadness and bergamot?
What did a man smell like to her?
I did not set out to smell like a man,
that was not my intent.
I merely wanted to make sure
that I did not smell
like yesterdays regrets.
What is heard but not seen – A Poem
What is heard but not seen:
The gentle drop of rain onto the leaves
and a soft wind that moves through them
as if it is whispering secrets
that have yet to be told.
What is seen but not heard:
The gentle fall of leaves
that look as if they are dancing,
the sun shining down upon them
making the leaves look like jewels.
What is felt but has no form:
The wind that moves along my skin,
the light that shines upon my face
and the emotion they stir within
letting me know that a light
has been lit.
Me on TV! – Daytime Ottawa
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Derick Fage on Daytime Ottawa on Monday.
We talked about my journey as a writer and about my new novel, Queen of Swords. It was a thrill to be on Daytime Ottawa for a live broadcast. I’m always a little nervous, but I think I shone brightly.
You can check out the video below.
I’m thrilled with how it went! Derick even invited me back to read Tarot cards on the show! Stay tuned!
Mighty: An Anthology of Disabled Superheroes Paperback
So thrilled!
I’ve just handed in my final edits for Captain Maven and the Ice Queen, a short story that will be appearing in Mighty: An Anthology of Disabled Superheroes.
Here’s a bit about the book:
With great powerchair comes great responsibility…
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s… accessibility!
You wouldn’t like me when I’m out of spoons…
All too often, superhero media depicts disability as something to overcome on the journey to becoming a hero, or as a sign of villainy. It’s time to make heroism accessible for everyone.
In these 15 stories, you’ll meet winged wheelchair users, supernatural spoonies, guardians with glaucoma, and many more. These disabled superheroes fight villains as well as outdated ableist stereotypes, and show that anyone can be Mighty. You can preorder the paperback HERE and the ebook HERE.
The book is out October 10th!
C’mon! Get Mighty!
The Depths of You – A Poem
I have been unable to write.
Staring at the screen,
I can feel the words
within my fingertips
wanting to break free,
to flow onto the white screen
until their story is told.
Yet, every time I go to write,
the words wait still,
unable to break past the barrier.
I turn away from the words,
turning my gaze to the river that runs by me
I notice that the water
has slowly risen.
If I do not take a breath soon,
the water will soon be above my head
without a breath to sustain myself.
When you take my hand,
it’s like all my words find me at once,
flying from my fingertips
like birds across the page.
You put your arm around me;
I feel stronger with you near me,
though it should be me keeping you strong.
As if you can hear my words,
you turn my face towards yours
and now I can’t see the flow of water,
but I can see the sea in you.
Your eyes hold depths I know well,
for I looked deep within them
when we gave our hearts to each other.
It was within the depths of your heart
that I finally found home.
I know that whatever comes,
we will get through everything together.
As you take my hand,
I watch as the water recedes a little.
Seeing a motion in the sky,
I look up as my words
arrange themselves above us.
Leaning into you,
I watch and wonder
what they will say.
