Radio Show Update – Tune in October 19 for a Riveting Interview!

I had the honour of interviewing veteran journalist Valerie Fortney about her new book, Sunray: The Death & Life of Nichola Goddard. It’s a helluva talk we had – incredibly moving.

And I had the good fortune in being able to speak with Nichola’s Mum, Sally Goddard as well, while they were here in Toronto.

Read more about Nichola and see why you can’t help but feel close to her.

I am so pleased that my book is available in more than book form, as many of you don’t have much time for reading the old-fashioned way anymore.
