🎙️ Stone & Signal
Narrative audio essays, story fragments, and meditations on climate, AI, and ancestral memory.
A podcast of quiet resistance in a noisy world.
🛰️ The MacIver Kids Adventures (ages 12–16)
A found family of siblings on interplanetary missions — from Ontario’s north to Europa’s hidden oceans to Titan’s methane lakes.
Sci-fi with heart, mystery, and resilience at its core.
🐉 The Draconim Series (ages 13–17)
Dragon-bonded teens confront the real-world crises shaping our planet: air pollution, wildfires, and ocean plastics.
Fantasy rooted in ecological truth, set in Canadian landscapes — Algonquin Park, Cape Breton, Alberta.
In a near-future world ruled by the RePHleX network, truth itself is an illusion—manufactured by algorithms that echo your every belief. When an artist’s analogue installation collides with a musician’s AI-driven creations, their clash exposes more than an artistic divide: it reveals a system designed to control thought, memory, and reality. Rephlexions: Echoes of Existence is a gripping exploration of love, art, and resistance in the age of digital cages.

Another great book from Canadian author Adam Shoaltz. In his newest book “where the falcon flies” he canoed and hiked from Lake Erie to the Artic (North of Labrador)
All his books are quite good if you’re into adventure stories and all his trips are within Canada which makes it even more amazing.

5/x Fave reads of 2023…
I bought Canadian writer Anita Anand's "A Convergence of Solitudes" by mistake, but it turned out to be maybe my favorite read of the year.
It's a lovely multigenerational novel set in 1970s Quebec about Desi immigration, French Canadian nationalism, music, and memory.
This was one of the very few times a book inspired me to write fan mail.
