it’s Labour Day and I’m getting myself ready to go back to work, my decades-old programming making me clear off my desk, consider my wardrobe and set my alarm clock today! Labour Day is also a celebration of the labour movement and unions, which have made most of our work lives easier. Happy Labour Day!
I’m busy doing final revisions on my second novel, provisionally titled New Skin, and setting up my reading schedule for the fall and winter. Here are a few dates so far:
