REVIEW BY LITERARY TITAN (full review inside)
..."It’s perfect for readers who like their stories with some bite, a lot of soul, and just enough weird to keep things interesting. It’s messy. It’s tender. It’s beautifully Canadian in that understated, heartbreaking kind of way. Read it. Let it wreck you a little. Let it warm you back up.”…

The All Canadian Story Book is a rich, engaging collection filled with heart, humor, and humanity. Peter Lampman Clarke’s voice shines through every page—whether in short stories, articles, or verse. A perfect read for those who love authentic, well-crafted tales that capture the spirit of Canada.
My name is Peter, I used to be 71 years old, and I live on the West Coast, also known as the Wet Coast, or the Left Coast, of Canada.
It's nice here, you'd like it.
My gorgeous wife and our wonderful Havanese dog also live here with me. Im extremely happy about that arrangement.
Since a young boy I always wanted to be one of only two things: I really wanted to become either an Open Pit Miner or a Writer.
I chose the easy one, of course, the Open Pit Mining.
Well, the mining career never panned out so I dropped my worn down pointy shovel and picked up a brand spanking new pointy pen and got going on the Writing.
It didn't take long to remember why I avoided Writing in the first place... Writing was enormously difficult to do. I almost returned to Open Pit Mining but fortunately I had already been replaced, by another Writer as it turns out.
That's life...
