Book Review(s)
What can I say? Guess I must have a secret corner in my soul of a geek because I often find myself picking up books on weird science/history…….. I just started How to Mellify a Corpse by Vicki Leon this morning and reading the Foreword realized that I’d already read a couple of her books…

Word of Mouth
One of the most powerful marketing tools a creative person can benefit from is ‘word of mouth’. What does that mean? Pretty much what it sounds like. Get people talking – in a positive way – about your product, letting their friends know you think the product is A Good Thing for them to invest…

Book Review – Penelope’s Daughter
When you have a blog you don’t really know who reads it unless they make a comment or in some way contact you. It’s no secret that I read. I read a lot, in fact. 😀 So when Laurel Corona asked if I would be willing to read her latest novel, I said sure! It…

Book Review
Finished Eric’s book yesterday and noted on the back cover that there are 5 volumes intended in the series. This news makes me very happy because the journey being taken by Fiona and Eliot Post has been captivating so far.

Never Enough

Book Review
I confess I’m not much of a sports fan. Basketball kind of got ‘ruined’ for me as a fan the season I spent scoring for the men’s basketball league in grade 12. 🙁 So the first I heard of Steve Nash was a few years ago when Doug began waxing eloquent about this short white…

Book Review
Warning – this book has nothing to do with weaving or textiles…. I first heard about this book via Deb Robson’s blog and, intrigued, I checked our local library where I found it on the shelf. In the current world political arena I find myself uneducated and under informed about a whole great big chunk…

A Thread Under Tension…
is a thread under control. Kati Meek has reprinted her book Warp With A Trapeze. She describes herself as a ‘lazy’ weaver in the same way I call myself lazy. I don’t want to do any more work than I absolutely have to. The process of weaving is complex enough that using inefficient processes and…

Book Review
A few months ago I watched a program on tv called The Musical Brain profiling the work of Daniel Levitin and his research into music and brain development at McGill University (in Montreal, Canada). Last week I noticed his latest book The World in Six Songs on the library shelf and took it out. Started…
