PUBLISHED: North Africa with THE SKI JOURNAL

I am SO (x10000) grateful to be a featured contributor in issue 16.4 of @theskijournal featuring an adventure I went on to the Atlas Mountains to explore and ski @Oukaimeden just outside of Marrakech, Morocco. Such a gift to ski on the African continent and see the results in print with the preeminent, iconic and highest quality quarterly in the world of adventure ski journalism. And they even pulled a quote from my story for the quote on the spine of the book too! 🤯 Can’t say what this means to me. Big thanks to Kade Krichko @theskijournal@oukaimedenmaroc@oukaimeden Sakeus Bankson without whom this wouldn’t have been possible. 💓

‘Steal Away Golden Calf’ has complete ‘e-representation.’

Thanks to acclaimed romance novelist Molly O’ Keefe, Wannamaker and OneOfOne CopyHouse have been connected with Draft2Digital to release Wannamaker’s first long fiction work, Steal Away Golden Calf, on all digital devices. This partnership opens up a complete range of e-possibilities for purchasing and reading the work, whose print edition of 100 sold out shortly after it’s release in late 2016.

‘Steal Away Golden Calf’ on Good Reads

Likely the final bit of spam about this. Thanks to everyone who helped support me by reading / buying the first edition of Steal Away Golden Calf. The novel is now up on Good Reads with some reviews. If you’ve happened to read it (thank you!) please hit the link and mash the star that you feel most appropriately represents how you felt about the novel (duh) and leave a review if you feel so inclined! #feelfeltfeel xx b

NEW RELEASE : Literary Fiction ‘Steal Away Golden Calf’ now available on KOBO devices

I’m very pleased to announce that my freshman novel “Steal Away Golden Calf” is now available digitally for KOBO devices! (See the link below for synopsis, purchasing details, page count and more. It’s $9.99)

One of One Copy House felt like it was a no-brainer to diversify the platforms on which the novel was released and although it was hard for my old soul to swallow, I’ve accepted that it pays to be media-literate and keep up with the times!

Still, I can proudly vouch that print isn’t dead and neither are independent publishers.

Also, thanks for the support and thanks to everyone who helped us sell out of the first print run so fast! As a thank you, I have 5 personal print copies of the novel which will be signed and raffled off to a lottery consisting of the first 20 digital orders placed. Shipping will be free, as always. (Send a message to let me know you made the KOBO purchase to enter!) Good luck and thanks again! Here’s the link:

Huge thanks to @robinoconn @papatrickster and @darylshaughnessy for all their help with the project, formatting for #KOBO and so much more.

PUBLISHED : New Client : Cannabis Culture, Canada.

Thanks to Danny Kreznyak and @BenCatorGlass, I’ve been fortunate to work with Cannabis Culture as of late. I am writing a number of stories for the quarterly publication including a piece on cannabis and extreme sports as well as a piece regarding legalization in 2017. The first of three however is an interview / expose on flame-worker / glass-blower Ben Cator, from Whistler. I’m very grateful to be working with this publication and interacting with their 2.8 million followers. Much more to come!
