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…

It’s time for a present for yourself. There are some great ideas at capebretonbookcatalague.com or capebretonbooks.com Great reads for the snowy months!
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…

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…
