Nova Scotia Island Journal

In May 2011, after four years of life on McNutt's Island, we moved to Montreal. This blog remains, though, as a (sort of) daily record of our time on the island, and a winding path for anyone who would like to meander about among its magical places. For additional perspectives and insights I recommend Greg's book, Island Year: Finding Nova Scotia (2010), and my Bowl of Light (2012). I'll continue to post once in a while. If you do want to read this blog, one option would be to begin at the beginning of it (which is, as we all know, in blog-world, at the end), and read forward, concluding with the most recent entry. It's a journal, really, so it does makes more sense if you read it that way. But, you know, read it any way you like.

paperback writer

Now you can order Bowl of Light in a paperback format, here. Or you could ask your library to order it, or your local bookstore. The Kindle version is another way to go, for which see the post below. But a paperback offers you that yesteryear experience of holding a book in your hand and turning pages, or lending it to somebody.

Bowl of Light is available now

You can go here to buy Bowl of Light as an e-book. At that same site, you can download a free Kindle app that allows you to read e-books on your computer. It's a very nice app if you don't have a Kindle but still want to get the book.

The book made-of-paper will be ready in the next week or so. I'll post about it when it's available.
