About Me

My photo
Margaret Gunning
Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada
Welcome to Margaret Gunning's blog: a tribute to the strangeness of the ordinary. Ms.Gunning is the author of The Glass Character (Thistledown Press), her paean/tribute to the brilliant silent screen comic Harold Lloyd. Researching and writing this novel celebrating Harold's legacy and legend was by far the most compelling (and fun!) experience in her long and varied writer's life. The novel is available on Amazon and Kindle, Thistledown Press, and other major book sites. Her previous novels, Better than Life (NeWestPress) and Mallory (Turnstone Press) explore her lifelong fascination with family secrets, alienation, and the surprising joys of the ordinary. She has also written hundreds of book reviews (Montreal Gazette, Vancouver Sun, Toronto Globe and Mail) and newspaper columns for small-town papers across the country. Her philosophy: "Everything that happens is happening for the first time."
