Short Story Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 23
Oh my, just two more days to go! I’m enjoying the stories but these videos are ALOT of work! Maybe next year I’ll just do social media updates as I work through the calendar or something…
Recording a book review for book tube was a great excuse to brush my hair and put on a little make-up, so I did just that for my latest read, This Has Nothing To Do With You by Lauren Carter. I still wore stretchy pants though, there’s no way I’m needlessly wearing jeans while this…
Is the idea of visiting a remote glass hotel off an island a terrifying thought, or a welcome one? Personally, I love immersing myself in nature, so the idea of sitting in a five-star resort with not another soul in sight (other than the staff mixing my cocktails) is immensely appealing to me – even…
It’s getting to be that time of year folks! December starts tomorrow, and I’ve got my advent calendars (yes, that’s plural) locked and loaded. To mark this special time of year, I’m going to be posting a video each day on my youtube channel until Dec. 25. They’ll be short and sweet, recording my unveiling…
I always rejoice when I get the chance to read a classic mystery. The Tangled Miracle by Canadian author Bertram Brooker was originally published in 1936 under the pseudonym Huxley Herne, and has recently been re-released by indie publisher Invisible Publishing which has a Throwback Series that re-introduces public-domain books. A locked room mystery of…
So I was very tired when I recorded this, which was actually on December 14. But as I write this it’s December 15, and a couple hours away from getting my tooth pulled, so close enough. Thanks for following along guys!
Some of you may be wondering where my reviews of the 2019 Short Story Advent Calendar are, because in years past, I’ve posted a review every single day from December 1 to December 25. Well I’ve smartened up because it was just too time intensive to make a youtube video each and every day, so…

Very accomplished story telling. I felt like the legends of the dogs came full circle at the end when the boy and his dogs were heading for the sea—the poor woman who had to sell her dog, but it came back to her across the ocean, and the boy and his dogs perhaps doing the same to return to his mother…either that, or he knew he had to kill them, as his father suggested following the story of the woman and her dog. This one pushed a lot of buttons. I really liked the structure, as well.
Sorry to hear about your squares. Hope the party went well. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos; it makes reading the stories more enjoyable.
Thanks for following along and commenting Cathy, it’s greatly appreciated! Merry Christmas.
Oh, my gosh! Your squirrel story reminds me of when I baked fairy cakes and had to throw them out and then a raccoon ate them out of the dumpster 😂
To this day, your fairy cakes blog post is one of my favourite that you’ve ever written.
Hahahaha, thank you, Anne! 😂
Still, the fact that the squirrel ate them at least proves they must have been good! I’m excited to find out what’s behind “tomorrow’s” big square!
You will have already been disappointed then :(
