    About this ebook

    A gift at birth will get you enemies for life.

    When two sisters are exiled from their native home, they embark on an epic journey throughout the mythological world of Ancient Canada. Using Lavender's unique ability to see life and death, she and elder sister, Marigold, must stay within the narrow margins of survival in an alternate Arctic Circle.

    Ancient Canada is told by the various characters and creatures Lavender and Marigold encounter along their journey. The revolving narrators not only bring you the story of the two sisters but those of a stone giant, a tremendous bird-warrior, a fugitive bog man, a spoiled prince, and the assassins sent to hunt down Lavender and Marigold. 

    Drawing from classic literature but told from a modern mythological perspective, Ancient Canada may be unlike anything you've read in a thousand years.

      1. Here there’s no rainy season.Sun scalds my forehead,yet the pool is empty. Beside it,a toppled table, its glass surface shattered.The asphalt is too hot for bare feet. 2. Far away: white hillocksand white dunes under a deepblue sky. Swirling winds

      The Courage To Be Happy

      Feb 1, 2023

      MARRIAGE and columns have this in common: you tend to repeat yourself. More than once in these pages, I have quoted the New Yorker’s legendary film critic Pauline Kael. After President Nixon’s landslide victory in 1972 she wrote: ‘I live in a rather
