I'll be speaking about The Rachel Trilogy and how I was inspired by my grandmother's escape from a pogrom. Hopefully, this event will be held in person, after more than a year of Zoom presentations because of Covid-19. Stay tuned.

Write2XPress Creative Writing Contest

​

I'm returning for my third year as a judge for this contest, where teens write short stories or poems based on a photo chosen by the Oakville Public Library. The photo isn't available yet, but you'll find it at www.opl.on.ca/teens in late August. 

More details to come...stay tuned!
