Thank you to everyone who joined me this past fall in Calgary at WordFest 15! as I presented, Memoir of a Good Death. and celebrated with me as I launched Memoir at Pages Books in Calgary on October 21st.

An incredible amount of work goes in to book design! The cover image for Memoir of a Good Death incorporates “Flutter Kick,” by photographer, Barbara Cole (Toronto). I’m very thankful to Barbara for her kind permission to use the image. Visit her website www.barbaracole.com to see more of her incredible work.

The design seen above, was created by Kim Budziak, B. Des., and I thank her for her labour of love. Her cover concept incorporated a small, hardcover book design idea.

For the final book cover and design of the trade paperback seen on all other pages of this website, at www.thistledownpress.com and on bookshelves everywhere, profound thanks to Jackie Forrie of Thistledown Press.
