It seems to have been an age since I blogged here.
I have been gearing up the research schedule for my next book and I just don’t seem to get time or energy to post here so often. There is so much interesting stuff going on (BC politics, wikileaks etc) that I know I am missing the chance to have my say on important happenings, and I have to make a better effort.
However, having gotten back to it, I am reminded just how much I enjoy the research part of writing history books; every day I am surprised by new revelations, new insights. I am also reminded how helpful and courteous the folks in the Special Collections Department of the main library are — it is a welcoming environment for researchers.
Back soon, I hope!

What’s the next one going to be? Have they made a cot/bed room for you at the library yet?
Haha! They should (except I might just nap instead of work.) I am finalizing the research for my “Encyclopedia of Commercial Drive in the Twentieth Century.” 9,000+ entries so far!
