"genuinely extraordinary"

A 43-YEAR OLD MAN, going through the mundane day-to-day realities of life, has his life turned upside down when he accidentally uncovers a dark family secret while renewing his passport. His parents he watched die were not his birth parents. The revelation eviscerates his core causing him to dive into his past in search of his identity. His journey is teeming with debilitating darkness, light-filled discoveries, and is littered with a horde of colourful characters, including David Duchovny, Michael Chiklis, and the Dali Lama. 
A secret baby boy. Born in a secret place.

The shame of family, community, and religion.

A secret meant to be taken to the grave.

Until, he accidentally discovers, his parents he watched die, weren't his real parents.​
"Most of the time, my heart, beat, like it was trying to escape my ribcage, and not just because of
the copious amounts of caffeine I imbibed while plowing through this memoir.
I think its consumption just set the proper physical stage for the reading of this wild ride.

I literally could not stop.
​
I was compelled to keep reading and reading and reading and experiencing this life.
I was jittery; I felt greasy and dirty; I needed a shower; i could not stop reading."

"Sometimes, it is just nice to know that everyone struggles and you're not crazy."

"This book is jam-packed with drugs, drinking, meaningless sex, sorrow, pain and heartache,
yet; also love, compassion, and kindness for others."

Subject to your taste buds!
Mimi Burger + Mimi Cheeseburger - Smell the aroma of the onion. Take a bite. Spiced perfectly. The bun moist. The taste pleasently assaults the senses. The tangy, savoury sauce—​dribbles from the corner of your mouth. Every bite screams another. Yum! A classic. This burger will definitely PREVAIL!
RED ACCORDION

1616 Alberni Street

My birthday month rolls on. Yes, I get a month this year, I turned…?

Jay and I began walking in April to clear our minds of COVID fears.

We walk. Grab a bite + beverage + walk some more. We decided to walk from Vancouver to Saskatoon and back without leaving Vancouver (more than 2,000 miles). We are on our way home. The step counter taunts us.

Yesterday, we were passing the Red Accordion on Alberni street. Jay said, “What’s this place?”

One of the owners, Jamie, heard us and replied, “A hidden gem – with the best burger in Vancouver.” It was Jamie’s 40th birthday.
​
Thirty minutes later, we returned. We ordered the burger + calamari + zucchini blossoms (stuffed with cheese) + a blood orange beer + a mocha beer ++

First bite. A wonderful array of taste sensations burst forth in perfect harmony. Our taste buds began fighting each other in an effort to horde the succulent flavours.

The rest of the bites: Hidden Gem + Best Burger doesn’t do the Red Accordion justice.

more xl the band
Author Lindsay Wincherauk, tottering from discovering his parents he watched die were not his birth parents, attempts to piece his life back together. Along the way, he becomes a vital witness of a hate crime. Struggles with sexuality. And suffers a catastrophic stroke while releasing his first memoir.

DEATH SAUCE + A 60-YEAR-OLD MAN

DEATH SAUCE
​The son of a land magnate becomes inflicted with the addictions of power + fame, falls in love with an outsider, and together they try to save humanity from societal ills by resetting the future. Occasionally, they dine in real restaurants in the real world. 
WRITER MAGAZINE SAID
​Our favorite part of this story was its high stakes. Penelope's life is an exceedingly difficult one. We applaud the writer for having the courage to write about such serious subjects. We also thought the opening lines were particularly well-suited to draw us into the story, especially the sentence “The kind of years where she became the chalkboard with kid-after-kid lining up to drag their fingernails across her fragile being.”
A 60-YEAR-OLD MAN - RUNNING IN FLIP FLOPS
A writer nearing age 60, late to pick up a friend from work—forgets his car keys and starts running home to retrieve them, he starts laughing because he is a man nearing 60 running in flip flops. He pauses. He thinks. It’s time to mesh his non-fictitious absurdities with the fiction rattling around in his mind in a series of essays and stories, many of which would leave Kafka shaking his head (in the grave – the only impossible possibility).
