March is Max Finder Month

by | Feb 26, 2005 | pre-wp

Comics get their day in the pages of March’s Owl Magazine and Max and Alison get the cover. Full points to illustrator-extraordinaire Michael Cho for whipping up a great full sized image of Canada’s favourite pre-teen detective duo. Inside the covers is...

Finding The Way Up

by | Feb 22, 2005 | pre-wp

My head’s down working on a new project and an impending deadline, but I couldn’t look at my Friday post about ‘going to’ Pat Metheny anymore. We went, it was amazing in a way that I can’t even describe because I know I won’t do...

by | Feb 18, 2005 | pre-wp

Everyday I get literally thousands of emails asking me what I’m up to on the weekend (or is it for v1aGrra? I can never tell.) Anyway, at long last I’ll tell you: Myself and my lady are stepping out to see the Pat Metheny Group in concert. I’m new to...

I just received my copy of Canadian Bookseller Magazine, which has a few of my kids book reviews in it. While seeing my reviews in print is always fun, I was shocked to learn that Darth Vader, the Dark Lord of the Sith, has released an audio book of the Bible. Now the...

Hammy Nibbles His Way onto Walk of Fame
