Unfortunately, that same night, he severely dislocated his opposite shoulder. He popped his knee out of its socket and tore through 3 of the 4 ligaments in his knee. Thankfully, they were obtained from some, uh, shenanigans, unlike Archer’s injuries.

A very close friend of mine went through very similar injuries to Archer.

My SO (yes, judge him by this) gets a triple triple (yep, three creams and three sugars), while I usually opt for a regular. It’s almost like a family tradition now for us to stop there every time we’re in Banff.

There’s a scene where Archer and Mallory are in Banff and go to Tim Horton’s.

Archer’s nephews name is Aiden, and while I myself don’t have a nephew, my SO has a nephew named Aiden, who I quite adore.So, a bit about the things in Arrows that I based on personal experiences: It’s absolutely gorgeous and if you ever have the opportunity to visit, do yourself a favor and go. I’ve been to Banff many times in my life (luckily), during all four seasons, and let me tell you, my descriptions do not do it justice. For Arrows, all of the descriptions of Banff were based on memory. Like many of my books, I base some of the content on personal experience. To date, it’s the longest book I’ve written and definitely holds a special place for me. It’s surreal for me that so many people have read and enjoyed Arrows. And a massive thank-you to Elisa and the Rainbow Awards for all the work they do, and the money collected for the various charities. It’s won in the Best Gay Book category, as well as the Best Gay Contemporary category.Ī huge congratulations to the other authors who participated and wrote some incredible stories this year. I’m incredibly happy (and honored) to say that Arrows Through Archer has won in the 2017 Rainbow Awards.
