Yesterday, my nephew Greg Hutton tagged me in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Being an author, and figuring videos had now been done to death, I wanted to come up with a “novel” way to bring awareness (and donations) to the fight against this terrible disease.
So, instead of a few seconds of icy water, here’s a flash flood of fictional words:

April is ‘World Autism Awareness Month’. April 2 is ‘World Autism Awareness Day‘.
And I am proud to announce Kindling has been officially selected as the ‘World Autism Awareness Novel of Awesomeness’.
To commemorate this prestigious achievement, I have pasted below an excerpt from the book, soon to be published in the US and Canada through Exciting Press. The scene describes an epiphany for a grandfather coming to grips with his “lost” grandson. It’s a moment of not just awareness, but of true understanding. It’s my favourite moment in the entire story.
I hope it stays with you throughout April, and beyond.
