I was so excited to be flying to the Whistler Writers Festival that I almost didn't a plane! A wonderful celebration of Canadian writers in this magical mountain setting.
Not only was this my first trip to Whistler, I got to join a panel discussion with my memoir muse J. J. Lee, author of The Measure of a Man: The Story of a Father, a Son, and a Suit.

On Saturday morning October 14, I led a Memoir-abilia Writeshop, my writing tools and talismans in tow.
