I'm popping in again, this time with some previews for the forthcoming issue and a reminder that everyone can use the code take15 for CA$15 off subscriptions and renewals.
I sent renewal notices by email yesterday, so anyone whose subscription has concluded recently has been notified.
If you're already a subscriber—thank you! Please share the discount with your creative friends or purchase a Gift Subscription for someone.
If you have an active subscription but want to extend it early, please select the Eager Renewal option, and I will adjust your subscription accordingly.

Thanks, everyone. And now for the sneak peek...

I am happy to hear from you and welcome your comments!
❤️ Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. This week, the provincial government shamefully chose to trample on the rights of vulnerable children. I will be at the rally today in support of gender-diverse youth who should have unimpeded access to gender-affirming care here in Alberta. Read more and sign the petition. And, wherever you are, be compassionate, be kind.
