Reading

The essential element in the knowledge economy. Key element in the virtual office. The seat of pleasure. And lost to brain injury. I write about regaining book reading, and I pen book reviews.

Writing

The output of our thoughts and imaginations, writing communicates. In short tweets, newspaper-length articles, or books, I write to breathe, advocate for healing brain injury, and entertain.

Photography

The instinctive expression of our souls, photography arouses, expresses what we cannot put into words. I photograph, play with images, create collages, and decorate merchandise with my images.

She

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Put simply this is the best urban fantasy story that I have ever read period. From word one I was hooked into this tale, possessed by it if you will.

Aban's Accension

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thankfully, and to the author’s credit, avoids religiosity and preachiness . . . With this approach, Jeejeebhoy lets Aban’s Accension remain a gentle allegory, which may play in the reader’s consciousness (as it has mine) for weeks or months.

Time and Space

⭐⭐⭐⭐

What an amazing journey into the future! . . . There are some interesting future technologies: I loved that scene with the elimination vessel, and I wouldn’t mind trying those shoes! . . . I couldn’t stop reading until the end.

Concussion Is Brain Injury

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The book is divided into chapters where some are like a novel because she is telling us her thoughts through this nightmare and then [others] more like science information . . . [others] to give encouragement and advice to those who suffer from the same condition. A very brave woman.

See the photos, images, videos I’ve shot, photoshopped, and played with over the years. I began with a Minolta Maxxum, switched to a Nikon Coolpix, and now use an iPhone and Nikon D80.

Bookbub is the place to be apparently. So I have a place there for my books.

Wattpad is a place for writers to test out their new stories and readers to wade in to a cornucopia of textual riches for free. I have a couple of stories on there, including my TTC satire Louise and The Men of Transit.

My first blog was anonymous. My lawyer gave me a list of no-go topics when I started it, and since I “came out” in 2008, I’ve pretty much stuck to politics, media, food, Toronto life, and sundry items, especially my current obsession, the TTC.

Are you a reader on Goodreads? Check out my Author Page!

I’ve read a few books and wrote a few reviews. Ever since I relearnt to read with comprehension in late 2018, I’ve been reading like I used to and no longer need to write reviews as quickly as possible or keep notes. I can wait a few weeks, let a book digest, then write the review on Goodreads. Or you can read some older reviews on my site.

I haven’t written short stories since my brain injury, but I wrote quite a few before it! Have a gander.
