Recognized by canoers

Finally! I have been name-checked by the Atikokan Progress, in their column: 'Books n' Things'. The paper's tag line is: The canoeing capital of Canada.

"Who says a discussion of religious fundamentalism has to be serious?" asks the Atikokan Progress.

Not these two guys!



But hey now, Atikokan Progress, I ask this in return: who says canoeing has to be serious?

That is why my next book: A HEARTBREAKING CANOE OF STAGGERING CANOES, is going to turn the world of canoeing narrative non-fiction on its bow. Or... its stern. Whichever! It just needs to start to sink and get water in it, is what I'm saying here.

Marketing and Promotion of CANOES

A HEARTBREAKING CANOE OF STAGGERING CANOES is a comedic romp that will appeal to young, hip professionals between the ages of 24 and 26 who read Pitchfork, watch The Colbert Report, and eat Korean food at least once a week. Readers who finished Portrait of the Artist of a Young Man in high school will love CANOE/CANOES. Collectors of expensive Japanese toys will purchase CANOE/CANOES but leave it in the plastic. Babies under the age of three will be confused by CANOE/CANOES and may regurgitate peas. A HEARTBREAKING CANOE OF STAGGERING CANOES will tear your loving family apart.

I just finished your book and I think you did a wonderful job. I have nothing amusing or clever to say about it, wish I did, but you should be very proud of yourself. It was a lot of fun to read. Best wishes

Thank you, Sheila! I have nothing amusing or clever to say about it either, so we're even.
