The dying bees, the Antarctic melt, the mountains of old tires, the incessant toxic belch of factories that make Batman bobbleheads for Happy Meals. Off-gassing couches! Cancerous tinned tomatoes!

The latest: join us at the Flight of the Griffons Book Launch Party with Old Man Luedecke at 2 PM sharp at Halifax's Maritime Museum. Say yes at the event page on Facebook. It's so close!
And hey! I wore out a sharpie signing books yesterday. If you live too far away to get one of the dozen or so currently signed at Woozles, order from Nimbus Publishing. They'll ship anywhere! Call 1-800-646-2879 to talk to a real-live human who can grab one from the signed stash for you.
