Can anyone tell me when kids are out of school for Spring Break in Alberta? Does it vary?

Be ever so nice to get to 100 ratings by Christmas, if anyone is feeling rate-y

The Dark Times of Nimble Nottingham — my debut novel about grief, monsters, war, unattended kids, and a really good dog — takes place over the course of a few blacked out nights leading up to Halloween. What better time to check it out than now? #Halloween2025 #kidlit #horror

I don’t want to help Amazon. Seriously. I try and shine a light on independent book stores whenever I can. But, $7.29?! For hardcover?! Teachers, librarians, spooky book fans young and old, check out this deal! #thedarktimesofnimblenottingham #BookTwitter #mg #horror #history

Official book launch for The Dark Times of Nimble Nottingham went down last Friday at McNally Robinson Booksellers in Winnipeg. It was great! Check it out on Youtube!

Hey, U.S friends! If you’re thinking of picking up a copy of my book, 25% off paperbacks at Barnes&Noble!!

Now that my book is out, here’s my shout into the void: I’d like to go to conventions, book festivals, library events, bookstores, virtual events, appear on podcasts, talk to book clubs, appear Beetlejuice-style wherever a kid mentions they’re looking for a new fun, spooky book.
