  • Rails & Rooms - A Timeless Canadian Journey

    by Dave Preston ...
    There are many ways to get from A to B -- or from one the east coast of Canada to the west. I've flown this expanse, driven most of it, ridden a motorcycle across much of it, and hiked for days along its lakesides and riverbanks. But it wasn't until I rode a train for 4,414 miles across every Canadian province that still has a track that I truly appreciated this country's size and diversity.Our ... Read more

  • It's Time I Told You

    by Dave Preston ...
    Being in love can be the best of times, and the worst of times. I've tried here, to capture in words, some of both, but mostly the good times. This has been quite a departure for me as a writer, not that I've been a stranger to love, but because to date my work has covered almost everything but love poetry.And love has been written about so many times by so many people that I can't help feeling ...
