[close] I wondered how long it would take me before I cried. When I was twenty-nine years old, I sat in a circle with a woman from a northern Cree nation in Alberta and she told us that before we are human beings, we are light. When we are light, we see everything. We see the past and we see the future. We see how everything will happen in our lives, and we know what our purpose is. As light, we pick our parents before we are born. We pick them and everyone that comes into our lives. We pick our experiences and everything that happens to us. We know the path we pick will make us grow and contribute to who we are as human beings in order to live our purpose. Some individuals remember everything they knew as light. Most of us forget what our purpose is, and it makes our time on Earth a struggle until we find our way back to our purpose, if we ever do. I have struggled in this human life to understand and accept this teaching, but it has become one of the reasons I continue to move forward.

[close] Title reveal and story description for the June 2021 book release.

[close] It’s a walk in the park: Out with the Sunset and other new releases Well, I’ve been prepping for this for a few months, and the day is finally here! The first release in my brand new Parks Pat Mysteries series. Unlike most of my books which are set in the USA, these ones are set locally, in and around Calgary, Alberta. And that means that they are full of beautiful scenery, history, and Canadiana. The first three books in the series are set in September 2020, which is when they were written, so the current events, weather, and challenges of covid restrictions are all authentic. The only thing that is fiction is… well, everything else. The murder, the characters, and what happened next… I hope that not only will you dive into this new mystery series, but share it with your fellow readers as well. These quick reads are free of sex, gore, and swearing, so you can be confident in reading and sharing them with others. Blog:https://pdworkman.com/booklink/1968187 Buy:https://books2read.co

[close] 32 views • Premiered Jan 5, 2022 • Bearmen Descend Upon Gimli is a contemporary myth told in lyric form. The poems in this collection follow Raymond Northwind, a past-middle-aged Odawa guy, who happens to be the icemaker and custodian for the Peter Glint Memorial Curling Club. Fate finds Northwind in his Gimli, Manitoba exile and because of it, he brings forth a semi-supernatural curling team of Cree “bearmen” to face off against the best teams from around Canada for a large and prestigious prize. Below the surface of these poems there are meditations on the role of ceremony, the place of sport in culture, the spirit of the land, and those that come to inhabit it. This work inhabits the intersection of cultures in Canada as facilitated by what is often seen as a quintessentially Canadian sport, curling, in a place that is the geographic midpoint of Canada.

[close] D.A. Lockhart’s Go Down Odawa Way is a poetry collection that explores the physical, historical, and cultural spaces that make up the traditional territory of the Three Fires Confederacy. This is the region currently inhabited by southwestern Ontario and southeastern Michigan. Individual poems and sections of this collection explore the documented villages, history, and mythologies of the Odawa, Ojibway, Huron/Wendat, and Pottawatomi nations that were lost to the process of colonization and relocation. The project speaks to the history of the region that predates contemporary Canadian and American borders and namings as well as carves out a history that extends back past the mere couple of centuries of European colonization. The narrative focal point of the pieces find their roots in the traditional Lenape vantage point of the author and seeks to draw on the experiences of a modern day urban Indian in connection with the manner that land has changed with non-Indigenous settlement and those that in
