What do you mean, it’s not a spy novel?

What do you mean, it’s not a spy novel? What is A Life on Water ? Is it a romance; military action; religious drama; Greek mythology? then what is it?

Wolfram and Fatima

You thought we’ve had it bad the last three years. Before WWII, Portugal avoided serious threats thanks largely to one man (who has been reviled in modern times) and his work on two files.

Indigo is "LIVE"

Today, I received the author “proof” copies of The Tale of Indigo that I ordered from Amazon. It is a wonderful feeling to have the new book in my hands.

Audio . . . Take One

I didn’t expect recording a poem would be such a challenge. While visiting Aidan, my son who lives in North Bay, I took a first step on the road to recording audiobooks of my poetry.

Decision made

Notable this summer . . . I became a publisher. The journey begins. In late July, I registered Cavalarico Books Ltd., an imprint I now operate with the sole aim to publish my books.

Ice is out on Lake Simcoe, and real spring just might be here.
