Get Lit

Hey all! Just got back from an incredible trip to Europe. I'm lucky to be able to do these things, lucky to have friends to draw us there (us being my family), and lucky that I could still continue to GET LIT while I was away.

This week we chat with Hamilton-based author Maxie Dara about her novel, the first "S.C.Y.T.H.E. Mystery," A Grim Reaper's Guide To Catching A Killer. Enjoy!

Hey all! Greg Rhyno's back on the show this week to talk about the second Dame Polara mystery, Who By Water. Enjoy!

Hey folks! Greetings from Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. This week we talk to Sara Flemington about her novel, R.I.P. Scoot. Check out the show (and the book)!

Hey folks! I'm headed off on some adventures soon so I'll keep it brief. Today's show features author Tim Welsh, talking about his cool and fairly wild novel Ley Lines. Check it out!

Hey folks! Poets in the house today. My pal Chris Bailey joins us to talk about Forecast: Pretty Bleak, followed by the excellent Tolu Oloruntoba, discussing his latest, Unravel. Listen in.

Great conversation with my friend Jess Rose, Artistic Director for the super GritLit festival coming up this month in Hamilton. Lots happening this year, it promises to be a blast. Also, come see me and some great local authors!

This week! We talk to author Julie Salverson about her new book A Necessary Distance: Confessions of a Scriptwriter's Daughter. It's a blend of memoir, confessional, investigative journalism, biography, and more. Enjoy the show.

A pleasure to see fellow Hamiltonian and friend Amanda Leduc back in the studios. She joins us to talk about her newest novel, Wild Life. Please ignore the shoddy sound at the very start, it improves!

Hey folks! Double shot today. We speak with Kelly Watt about her collection The Weeping Degree, and then with Grant Douglas Linney about Outdoor Magic. Enjoy the show.

Hey everyone. Who'd have thought this would be an issue in 2025? Well. Ira Wells joins me to talk about his latest in the Biblioasis Field Notes series, On Book Banning: Or, How the New Censorship Consensus Trivializes Art and Undermines Democracy. Read it and listen in! But not necessarily in that order.
