This wasn’t a review of Rooney’s novel as much as it is a craft observation. I’m not entirely sure how she pulls it off, but she does it brilliantly. And I doubt I’ll be trying it anytime soon, although it is tempting at times…
puzzle time
Today, I held a live stream draw for two of The Occurance’s puzzles featuring the covers of The Canadian Authors Association’s novels published in 2024.
These lovely folks are the puzzle winners. I ordered the puzzles as soon as they became available but the postal strike has held up their arrival. Once I have them, I’ll send the prizes to Stratford and Tel Aviv!

Liisa Kovala generously invited me to an interview on her Substack site, Women Writing. I got to pick which questions I’d like to answer, which was good since one of the invitations was to post a photograph of one’s workspace. Trust me, you don’t want to see that. Check out all the different ways various women writers approach their craft here.
I’ll close today with this wonderful piece by Donna Ashworth:
