the pain of not knowing to realize not to need to know.

a book cover i made for a book that is not written. write stories for me so i can finish the book that is not started. tell your writerly friends. it will be a nice collaborative book.

a walk in the valley will happen tomorrow. skeletons of forgotten, battered elk will be found and contemplated. a magpie will sqwak and bat an eyelash. i will salute. the wind will push my back closer to my front, encouraging exploration. i will be thinking.

i am happy. as is expected.

two ghost stories are about to happen. they will probably consist of bad ghosts. or things that we are scared of.

i cannot bring myself to sell any of my lovely bicycles. the sign is made but the money will come from elsewhere.

nite: full moon

sober and tired and full of life with love

Bottom Bracket
A Sumach Mystery
by Vivian Meyer

In her gritty off-the-wall mystery Bottom Bracket , Vivian Meyer gives us an inside look at alternative lifestyles in Toronto’s colourful Kensington Market neighbourhood. Feminist and urban-space activist Abby Faria bike-couriers packages around downtown Toronto to support her expensive bicycle habit. When a brutal murder takes place in the Market just a few houses down from her own apartment, Abby decides to enlist the help of her Market friends: together they protect a frightened young prostitute, fight gentrification in the Market and stand up for the rights of the dispossessed. Along the way, Abby indulges in great coffee, fine bicycles and one or two good men.

Never one to mind her own business, she runs into trouble when she comes up against the world of organized drug and female sex trafficking. Between dodging homicidal cars and attending Save the Neighbourhood meetings, it’s all Abby can do to stay one step ahead of the bad guys. Then it all becomes personal when Abby discovers that the very people she is pursuing may have had a hand in a past misfortune of her own.

Meyer draws on her own savvy experience of Market life and youth culture to imbue her characters with authenticity and spice. Full of unexpected plot twists, memorable characters and down-and-dirty detail, Bottom Bracket is also a thought-provoking exploration of inner-city issues in contemporary times.
