This is a piece I wrote for The Writer’s Studio (TWS) Reading Series, part of SFU‘s Continuing Studies Program.  The reading, which is open to students, program alumni, and regular folk like moi – writers across all genres – took place on June 5, 2014 at the Cottage Bistro in Vancouver, BC.

It’s been a goal and desire of mine to become a better storyteller, so I’m pretty happy that I got myself up there and read something!

The TWS Reading Series is one of a number of Vancouver events that give the local  community of writers and storytellers a place to share their work.  I read one of my stories for the first time at one of these events back in November 2010, and have wanted to do it again since…. and now I have.

I hadn’t prepared anything when I signed up a few weeks ago, and worked on the piece – which couldn’t be longer than 10 minutes  – during an unusually busy (and interesting!) period of (paid) work, so this is what came up and out.  Onward and upward!
