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.

Above is a link to my profile on Reedsy. You can find some of my short stories there.

Reedsy.com is a site where authors can go to grab a writing prompt to inspire them to write a short story. To motivate you and keep you focused, Reedsy has a weekly short story competition. They create and post five prompts written around a different theme every week. Writers choose a prompt, write a story around it and finish it within a week. Then, by paying a $5 entry fee, they can become contestants in a weekly short story competition. Each week, one story-teller wins $250.00.

Any writer, contestant or not, can submit their stories to the website for other writers and the world in general to read and comment on. This is another valuable part of the Reedsy experience – knowledgeable people see your work and give you feed-back.
