Kindle screenshot from The Double Vice by Chris Holcombe.

Book cover for THE DOUBLE VICE, the 1st Hidden Gotham Novel, as shown on a tablet device. A man in a tuxedo stands next to a man in a white work shirt and suspenders. They’re in the middle of a smoky speakeasy, the background colors red and orange. Tendrils of smoke float across the book’s title.

Behind the tablet is a sparkly gold table cloth. A red flask rests in the lower right corner.

If I ever went skiing, you'd find me at the bottom of the hill—fuck a mountain—in a heap off snow with a pole sticking out of my ass. Screw that. Northland Skis ad, 1920s. ⛷️🪦

A screenshot of my neighbourhood, from about a hundred years ago. Departure Bay, Nanaimo, BC, Canada.

A screenshot of two photos from 1920's Departure Bay, Nanaimo BC, Canada.

Photo number two - An early photo of Departure Bay around 1920. There were only a few scattered homes at the time in the area. Prior it was a place for trade used by the Snuneymuxw First Nation.

Photo number two - Explorers exploring the village of Stil'rep. Departure Bay is a sacred place to the snuneymuxw, and was once the site of one of their largest villages, known as Stiil'ep. Before European contact the village ran from today's kinsmen Park along the waterfront to Hammond Bay Road at the end of Departure Bay Beach.
