All of the short stories in this collection are true. Okay, so maybe they aren't true per se, but they are based on true stories. Actually based, is kind of a strong word. Inspired by true events is a bit more accurate. For example, it's true that you get a lovely view of Mt. Rainier if you are flying south from SeaTac on a clear day. However, the bit about the dragons circling the top of the mountain is entirely fictional. I will not apologize for such fabrications. I truly believe they make life more interesting. The Canadian Nights is a collection of comedy fairy tales set in a universe almost identical to our own-almost. Katy Campbell still thinks it's weird to write about herself in the third person, which is why I am switching to the first person immediately. I now have thirty years of life experience behind me and have carefully documented my most insightful experiences in this book. That's right, all sixteen of the short stories in this collection are true. Okay, so maybe they're not true per se, but they are based on true stories. Actually, 'based' is a bit of a strong word. They are inspired by true stories. For example, as a frequent traveler, I have seen the top of Mt. Rainier from my airplane window many times. However, the detail about the dragons flying around the top? I added that when I was writing Love is in the Air. I will not apologize for such fabrications. I truly believe they make life more interesting.
