This time I focus on my mother's parents emigrating from Ireland and England in 1910 and my father's parents migrating from rural Kettleby, Ontario to Toronto in 1921. The story evolves until the country mouse (my father) meets the city mouse (my mother). Like Caught Between Two Devils this is a novel based on real people and events.(less)

Reading at St Gregory Parish

I was invited to do a reading of Caught Between Two Devils by St Gregory pastor Fr. Sean Leelung. The event was masterfully orchestrated by the president of their Catholic Women's League, Melanie Fernandez. She and her fellow members of the league even put on a beautiful lunch for the audience, my publicist Sigita Brough, and me.

I spoke after lunch. I gave a short summary of the book, outlined th Read more of this blog post »

“Antanas eased up on the accelerator and pulled the truck onto the shoulder. The sound of the soldiers' footsteps crunching in the snow made Maria sit up straight. The truck had driven about thirty metres past the patrol, but none of the soldiers had fired upon them. Antanas hoped fervently that the transport documents that Peter had furnished him would pass inspection. Maria reached down and touched a metal pipe concealed beneath her seat. She was prepared to use it.

Jadwyga continued to pray quietly. "Mother Mary, spare me, Maria, and the other women from rape, and Antanas from death."

As a sergeant approached the truck, Jadwyga's stomach cramped, sweat broke out on her forehead, and her arms began to shake. Then she fainted. Maria propped Jadwyga up to make it look as though she was sleeping, and then smiled at the sergeant who was rapping on the glass.

Antanas rolled down his window.”
