It's my birthday today: I'm 59. Think it's time to take a break from the news for my sanity. I went for a drive on the weekend to rural Ontario and took pictures of this peaceful little creek along a quiet hiking trail. No Donald Trump, no Doug Ford, nothing to think about.

Fun with photo editing! The sky is never this turquoise in Ontario, at least in my experience.

Sometimes when I finish work for the day, be it editing, writing, or engaged in micropress publishing, I settle back with something new or, in this case, something familiar. "The Night Listener," an old fave from Armistead Maupin, one of his two non-"Tales" novels.

I'll take "Things nobody said" for $100, Alex.

My little micropress has its first three chapbooks out. DM if you want these.

The great thing about better-weather days is that I can read on my balcony, which is always full of wonderful herbs and flowers curated by my partner, Damir. Today I sat with my coffee and got into a new manuscript I'm going to start working with in the near future.

I met up with Emily Weedon last night before a friend's book event to deliver her "Total Depravity" author copies. I think she was happy 🙂 I'll meet up with my other author later this week for the "author copies" clinking-coffee-cups celebration.

Colour check on the outer and inner cover spreads on the final October Park chapbook launch title: "Total Depravity," a short story by Emily Weedon. This will go to print by the end of the week so it can be featured at this month's Drunk Fiction.

Pray for me 🤣 Like most people these crazy days, I barely have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out . . . but here I am, starting an indie publishing house at 58 years old!

Final colour check on the outer and inner covers; author has approved these and the page layouts, so it's off to print.

Randall Perry 🍁 @randallperry.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

Finished the pages for the second of three October Park launch titles. Inner and outer cover spreads locked, so the author will have one more look, then off this chapbook will go to the printer.

"All authors are using AI now." Not true! A lot of us are using those conversations we overheard with your bestie about "What I got you gotta get and put it in ya."

My all-time favourite. (With the best seance scene ever put to film.)

There's always something interesting to read at the library. When I saw that someone had undertaken a study of the century-old gossip rag, "Broadway Brevities and Society Gossip," published by @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social, well, count my interest immediately piqued. Looking forward to diving in.

Make two backups, especially of any creative work. It's well worth the effort. #justincase

I inherited some Brandstetter books about 25 years ago when a friend was doing a major clear-out before an apartment move. Sunk into Fadeout one evening and didn't come up for air until the next morning. Brilliant stuff.

You want to read a realistic presentation of what happens after the end of the world as it’s currently being drawn up? I wrote a pretty good one. You can get it most places, on e-book too, and Hoopla has it now. store.latitude46publishing.com/products/bir...

This little publishing house project of mine is coming along nicely. One title down, two to go to finish the proof-of-concept. I've also read a couple of great stories by writer friends that I may want to add to the upcoming first year of my publishing program.
