Intro'ing the Canadian soldier character in my WWI scifi WIP, today. She's disguised herself as a man so she can get to the front to fight.
The very first thing she does on the page is drop the manuscript's first "fuck," then immediately apologizes for something else.

As I mentioned last week, Mark A. Rayner and I will be launching Season Four of our podcast Re-Creative sometime in October. In preparation, I’m releasing previous episodes weekly via Substack.

This is the second episode of Re-Creative from our first season in which Mark and I talk about a hidden gem of Canadian speculative fiction, The Mermaid’s Tale by D. G. Valdron.

Dear #bookstodon, I'm reading Alice Munro's "The Love of a Good Woman" and it's good. No surprise there, for me, since I've come across Munro before and she's always good for a slow burn short story.

What are you reading right now?

How Carley Fortune's buzzy romance books are making beloved Canadian locations seem ... sexy

BookNet Canada's research shows romance book sales in Canada jumped 54 per cent in 2022, and continue to climb. Most of the top-10 selling fiction books in Canada in 2023, according to BookNet Canada, were romance titles and #Romantasy, a #Genre that combines #Romance and fantasy. (Fortune's #MeetMeAtTheLake made their list, the only book by a Canadian author.)

All three of Fortune's books have been bestsellers, and in June last year, both of her previous titles were on the New York Times Bestsellers list at the same time.
