Erstwhile Vespasiennes at Philip's Square
The site of the urinal scene in Vespasiennes has been filled in since the 1980s -- apparently, precisely because of such scenes
! While waiting for the bus home to Nuns' Island two weeks ago, I took some pics of what's left of it -- and noshed on some maple sugar for sale at the kiosque on the site.
Obelisk at corner of stairs
The stairs were filled in to make a giant planter for a tree and flowers
Kiosk where you can buy all sorts of maple products
Dominion Square (Now Dorchester Square), where the lad was wandering looking for a "grown-up man"

Plugging away at flogging
Finally published my collection on Kindle and Kobo. Just about impossible to get a Canadian publisher to publish a collection of an unknown author, but I understand. Small ones don't have a lot of money, and novels sell better.
So now I have all my stories available on Kindle singly or together. It's very satisfying having them there! A challenge figuring out how to do it, and now it's challenging figuring out how to get them to appear on goodreads! One of them got there all by itself, it seems. I guess I did it, but I wish I knew how.
I'm also proud to be associated with a great Montreal photographer, Stéphanie Amesse, who let me use some of her outstanding photos, and have a smashing cover designed by my next-door neighbour, Julia Braga. Thanks also to Bruce Horlin and Steve Wallace of the former K.O.X. for their pic.
I'm also very flattered that literary translator Karina Chagnon chose my All Saints' Day to translate as part of her master's course. It's called La Toussaint.
