Appreciated this review, from 2017, by Paul MacDougall @franeymountain of my novel, "Us and Them." " Us and Them" is set a few years after the events of Trapper Boy, Cape Breton writer Hugh MacDonald's highly acclaimed first young adult novel. amazon.ca/.../R2OPC.../ref=c…...

This is from a 1992 Christmas Daddies show, but I like the song. 😀 It's one I wrote called, "This Morning Over Coffee." youtube.com/watch?v=AF4R-ct9…

The beautiful Christmas season is upon us, so I thought I would once again share a Christmas song I wrote for @JoanneFmacd's and my son, Keith, many years ago. Hope you enjoy. youtube.com/watch?v=7ypkkKvm…

The Christmas story I wrote was based on the song I'd written, called: "What Christmas is All About." youtube.com/watch?v=7ypkkKvm… The proceeds of the book, which can be found below, go to support Feed Nova Scotia : Cape Breton's Christmas, Book 3 capebretonbooks.com/products…
I wrote a song for @JoanneFmacd's & my son, Keith, entitled: What Christmas is All About." youtube.com/watch?v=7ypkkKvm… Years later, I was asked by Ron Caplan of @CapeBretonBooks to write a Christmas story and it was published in Cape Breton's Christmas, Book 3 capebretonbooks.com/products…

Check out this excellent book trailer for my friend, @laura_a_best's new book A SURE CURE FOR WITCHCRAFT. youtube.com/watch?v=r7fNBi9I… It's published by Nimbus Publishing. Sure to be a bestseller. Just picked up my copy @OnPaperBooks Charlotte St.

This is a video of my version of the song, "Trapper Boy" that I wrote prior to writing the novel of the same name. I was very pleased when the Men of the Deeps recorded it on their "50th Anniversary CD, Coal to Gold." Hope you enjoy. Stay safe. youtube.com/watch?v=37GBaudA…

Christmas season is upon us, so it's time for me to share, as I do several times each year, the song I wrote and recorded for @JoanneFmacd's and my son, Keith. Merry Christmas. Take care and stay safe. Thank you to @Prof_MacD for the wonderful video. youtube.com/watch?v=7ypkkKvm…

Missing our loved ones & friends, we want desperately to see them, but know the best way for that to happen is by social distancing & self-isolating. I believe the last line of this song I wrote tells us what we must do. Have a listen. Take care & be safe. youtube.com/watch?v=uMzCH3ab…
