Thank you, @CriFiLover. I share this with my hardworking colleagues @RunAmok_books and @RunAmokCrime, my friends and family, and anybody I brushed up against in old school Toronto. Thank you indeed. You all put a splash of something extra in this morning's coffee.

Please use the link below for the launch my novella, Waiting for LeClerc, on @ankskumar1’s podcast. We’ll talk about the importance of documenting old Toronto, the 86-87 @MapleLeafs, how the new puritanism leads to declining literacy, and the book itself.
