Back in March, I read my haunted-tree story "The Last Trench" for Strong Women Strange Worlds. The video recording is now available. I'm the first reader of the event. If you don't already know about this reading series, check it out! It's fantastic. https://youtu.be/bRbj4CclmPQ #AuthorsOnMastodon #AuthorsOfMastodon #IndigenousCreatives #GhostStory #ShortStory #CanLit #SpeculativeFiction

📣 Canadian indie authors, musicians, filmmakers—your thoughts?

I just shared a proposal for a new radio/podcast series:
🎧 Indie Thread — spotlighting indie creators from across film, music, and literature, one theme at a time.

Indie authors are too often left out. This pitch is one way to change that. Would love your input—and maybe your signal boost. ✍️🎶🎬

The Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Association now has Aurora Award voting packages available for members. My poem "Angakkuq" is a finalist, and I'd love for you to read it. Voting for it would be a delicious surprise.

You can access all the wonderful novels, poetry, short stories, illustrations, etc. which made the finals for only ten bucks Canadian. A bargain, for sure. And you don't even need to be an author to get membership. Money supports Canadian speculative authors and illustrators. https://www.csffa.ca/ #CanLit #WritingCommunity #AuroraAward #SpeculativeFiction #SpeculativePoetry #PoetryCommunity #IndigenousCreatives

ICYMI, a wonderful review of The Origins of Desire in Orchid Fens by Lynn Hutchinson Lee dropped over at Strange Horizons. Review by Kyle R. Garton.

From SH: "This is folk fairytale refracted through contemporary litfic, unified by setting and 'a pervasive sense that reality itself is fuzzy.'"
