Pre-order for new ebook

The ‘Tales from the Escarpment (or Nearby)’ ebook should be available on Kindle for pre-order by February 23, 2026 – release date remains May 1.

Tales from the Escarpment (or Nearby) is a book of short stories inspired by life in Niagara. I took literary liberties with the everyday experiences of some regular folks and created a cast of oddballs and characters then spooled out some twisty plots. Take a peek into pickleball culture and a closer look at your Meals-on-Wheels driver! Celebrate pub life among happily retired hard-rockin’ Boomers! You might see yourself in these pages if you look long and hard.

Tales from the Escarpment (or Nearby)

This lovely image was fashioned by Megan Garden, one of several she produced from which to choose a cover for my book of short stories. To me it expresses the geographic and therefore eternal features of the Niagara Peninsula: in the foreground are vineyards, middle ground features Lake Ontario and the horizon depicts the escarpment, that anomaly in the fertile flatlands of this part of Canada. We’ve chosen to ignore the part of the character of southern
Ontario that involves industry, canals and highways. Artistic license!

Tales from the Escarpment is scheduled for release in early May and will be available for pre-order in early spring.
