Rereading Moon of Crusted Snow by @waub.bsky.social so I can finally read Moon of the Turning Leaves but it is even scarier the 2nd time cause I sort of remember what's coming.

In light of recent events, if you’re looking to donate to support Palestinian children, in the past Palestinian colleagues have pointed me to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF) www.pcrf.net

The Palestine Children's Relief Fund was established in 1992 by concerned humanitarians in the USA to bring injured and sick children for free medical care they could not get locally

I got a new novel called Early Bird coming out April 2027 via Random House Canada. If you're interested, here's a little bit on where it came from and what it's about.
I wanted to write Early Bird to show the lighter side of life on the rez. Even in the smallest communities, there is a diverse and compelling cast of characters that make everyday life funny and entertaining. That’s no different than any other small rural Canadian community, it’s just that we as Indigenous people haven’t had as many opportunities to portray our true amusing selves in mainstream Canadian storytelling.Early Bird is my opportunity to showcase the wonderfully authentic humanity that thrives in a modern First Nation, all the while weaving interesting characters together in unforgettably comedic and dramatic moments. In this story, a fictional Anishinaabe community on the north shore of Lake Huron learns it might lose its beloved bingo hall, and as rumours swirl over the course of a snowy Saturday two weeks before Christmas, people eventually come to learn what matters most as community members: the bonds between them.I hope this story resonates with readers everywhere. I want my fellow Anishinaabeg and the wider Indigenous community to find home and hilarity in these pages, and I want readers of all backgrounds to join us in celebrating the joy and unique complexity of modern rez life. Look for Early Bird in stores in April 2027! Chi-miigwech.

I remember hearing @waub.bsky.social say something to the effect that First Nations people on Turtle Island have been living post-apocalyptic since First Contact. The world changes, but it doesn't end.

Moon of the Turning Leaves: A Novel
In this gripping stand-alone literary psychological thriller set in the world of the award-winning post-apocalyptic novel Moon of the Crusted Snow, a scouting party led by Evan Whitesky ventures into unknown and dangerous territory to find a new home for their close-knit Northern Ontario Indigenous community more than a decade after a world-ending blackout.

If you're in Sudbury, come out to the Doran Planetarium at Laurentian U on Thursday at 7PM to hear Madhur Anand read from her latest novel To Place a Rabbit. It's one of the most thought-provoking and unique books I've ever read, and I'm stoked that I get to ask her about it on stage!
