Earlier this week I conducted an official interview with Michelle Kim regarding the premiere of Metamorphoses in Vancouver. Written by Mary Zimmerman, Metamorphoses includes 10 stories, which are based on The Ovid.

They have an upcoming event highlighting the flying squirrel (yes, there are flying squirrels in Stanley Park) that I would like to mention […]

The Blogathon was not my creation, it’s something that has been around for many years and since its usual organizers decided to take a break for 2008, I picked up the torch for a mini Vancouver version. There were others who also decided it shouldn’t completely cease to be this year and they have been […]
