GET LIT E25 with REBECCA ROSENBLUM (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week's episode of GET LIT features Rebecca Rosenblum , author of So Much Love . The book is fantastic, and critics seem to agree. Rosenblum even had some flattering things to say about me on her webpage , which makes me feel all warm and fuzzy-like. Turns out she was a fan of my Hamilton Spectator column from the 1990s. In fact, it's one of those ridiculously small-world stories: I met poet and author Mark Sampson at an event in Toronto. He later messaged me to say that he had seen my final

GET LIT E21 with TREVOR COLE (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Folks, I have not uploaded E20 - it was event-based (GritLit 2017) and while a good conversation probalby not relavant. E21, however! An interview with Trevor Cole , one-time Hamilton resident, HarperCollins author and the man behind The Whisky King: The remarkable true story of Canada's most infamous bootlegger and the undercover Mountie on his trail. Now that's a serious title. Rocco Perri was one of Hamilton's – and, indeed, Canada's – most notorious gangsters. He was also notoriously good-na
