"Frank phoned," my husband said one grey day last winter. Who? Frank Warkentin in my novel Consider the Sunflowers? Since when have imaginary characters phoned their authors? Actually it was Frank M. Tierney, a head honcho at Borealis Press, expressing interest in the novel. Nine months later it became a reality. I'm delighted to be published by this wise kind man. In February 2013 he received the well-deserved Order of Ontario. http://tinyurl.com/nm8x2uh

I made the almond flour muffins at this site http://tinyurl.com/os7feyd and they turned out fine, though the raisins sank to the bottoms of the muffins. I didn’t bother using paper liners. The muffins came out of the tins easily after I let them sit for about 5 minutes. No grain and no dairy in the recipe—for those who care about such things.
