My review of Edward M. Langille's The Story of Lillian Burke was published in the Miramichi Reader online June 13, 2020. This story details the life and times of an American woman whose connection with Alexander Graham Bell's family brought her to Cape Breton on visits. It was here that she helped to establish a rug hooking home industry for the women of Chéticamp, Nova Scotia, providing a much-appreciated way of bringing cash income into their homes.

What I’m Working On
I still have several short stories in
