​David G Grade 3:
​the tragicomic memoir of a reluctant atheist

​
Published 2019.
​2019 Sask Book Awards nominee
2019 Fringe Theatre Festival hit show

Fraught with anxiety, little David is troubled why Nuns wear wedding rings, why a confessed killer gets to go to Heaven, why Protestants are buried on the other side of the fence, why there are many half-souls in Limbo because of his spilled sperm. A funny and sad memoir filled with a true cast of characters.
"Some of these stories will make you laugh, it is true, but some will make you cry or rage."​  
"Your writing reminds me of David Sedaris. An amazing combination of human truth with gritty humour."
