I realize the article is becoming paywalled for some folks. Here is what it will look like in print; it just lacks the photo of me in my horror office holding my daughter.

Did you know Eden Robinson has an epic fantasy novel coming out later this month? THE SORCERESS OF SKY SERPENTS hits shelves September 29th and feels like an Indigenous Game of Thrones. Grateful to have read it early for a blurb! Preorder it today and tell your local library to order copies too.

Feel good moment of the day: Newspaper photog came over to the house for some shots he forgot to take. Me: “Hey, did I ever show you the shot that got me interviewed by The Weather Channel?” Him: “Nope.” Me: “Here it is. Never edited. Shot on a Canon 7D at Salton Sea.” His jaw dropped. 😁📸

VIEWS FROM THE OVERLOOK Edited by Jamie Flanagan

Did you know in Stephen King's novel, THE SHINING, the Torrance family lives in an apartment on Arapahoe St?

Did you know my ancestors hunted buffalo on the land the original Stanley Hotel is built in Colorado?

Did you know I have a story coming out in Jamie Flanagan's VIEWS FROM THE OVERLOOK horror anthology next summer?

Did you know I'm the only Arapaho writer to ever write in King's Macroverse?

My short story is titled "Heritage Night," and I can't wait for you to read it. Hohóu.

And of course, the pro-genAI HWA trustee who penned this screed, Séphera Girón, uses us (Indigenous people) and spits us out just like the plagiarism machine they love so much. Grotesque.

Here’s my blurb for Eden Robinson’s next novel. Publishing Sept 29, 2026! You can preorder it at this link or your preferred bookstore: www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/760815...

The Sorceress of Sky Serpents
a literary fantasy by Eden Robinson
AN INDIGO MOST ANTICIPATED FANTASY BOOK OF 2026

“With The Sorceress of Sky Serpents, Eden Robinson looks at a faraway world scarred by the folly of man through the eyes of a heroine who reflects the fierce spirit of our Indigenous youth. She brilliantly weaves dark magic, humor, and vivid body horror into a relentless reclamation of the epic fantasy canvas. This book proves our voices possess the gravity to anchor entire monster-filled planets. I absolutely couldn’t put it down.”— SHANE HAWK, coeditor of the bestselling Never Whistle at Night anthology series
