I am now a full-time writer having retired from work as a lighthouse keeper, full- and part-time from 2008-2021 on Canada's West Coast. When Life is tough, for a friend or myself, I try to rally with the expression: Onwords! Upwords! hence the title of this blog. At one brief point in my previous career in publishing, I called myself Wayword Promotions and helped colleagues figure out publishing contracts, organize reading tours and the like. Now I'm relaunching my own writing career. Onwords!

Finding Our Light Choka
radio static dead air
waiting to hear you
finish each sentence
faithful constant patient you
say "Over" then I flash
shining brightly steady true
From Light Years: Memoir of a Modern Lighthouse Keeper (Harbour Publishing: 2015)
