I'm trying to spend more time on Bluesky but my feed is 99 percent American politics despite trying my best to block and mute terms. Any ideas on how to Canadian-ify my timeline? I've already followed a ton of starter packs for Canadian writers.

idk i think in a time when it feels like nothing matters & all is futile it might actually be time to double down and write your stories & make your paintings & sing your songs & do your art. create the things that make us human and share them.

GAAAAAAH I'm doing research for my book so I called Winnipeg Child and Family Services. The front desk trasferred me to emergency services not ONCE but TWICE because the office is only open until 4 pm after which it automatically redirectes to emergency. HOW DOES THE FRONT DESK NOT KNOW THAT?

In Wire Wings, Graciela is being swallowed by grief after her best friend dies. To escape, she disappears into a virtual world. But what is identity in a world where you have the power to change anything and everything? What does it mean to live - or grieve - or love? www.amazon.com/Wire-Wings-W...

Happy Solstice! Since we're all adults with carefully hoarded vacation days, my family celebrates our winter holiday on the Saturday closest to the Solstice. Today I'll be decked out in suns, moons, and stars, spending my whole day with some of the people I love most in the world. ❤️❤️

Telling an author to their face that they should get someone else to finish their work is WILD and so rude (Martin/Sanderson discourse), but I'm surprised by how many people think this is a hot take. We've made this joke in our household for years. It's sort of obvious?

WorldCon panel and the moderator didn't show up. Props to the amazing panelists who touched it out and made it work! I had the same thing happen on our panel yesterday morning and we pulled through, but it's a nerve wracking experience facing a room full of people with no plan!!

WorldCon has been SO GREAT so far! I've done three panels, all of which have gone so well, and had really great conversations. And tonight we're dancing at the Timely Whimey Ball!

I was talking with a close friend last night about the darkest period of my life and I'd just like to tell you what I wish someone had told me then -- Not selling a lot of comics or books and not making much money doesn't mean you've failed. Not making more comics or books means you've failed.

Happy Canada Day! As a Canadian writing books, I often choose to set them in the US. It's the largest English-speaking market, which means a lot of my readers are from there. A Midnight So Deadly is my first novel set I'm Canada. Writing this book felt like coming home.

Copy edits are done on A Wild and Precious Life! It made me want to write a 2nd ed. where I tease out some plot points and expand the ending, but I think it stands as a fun, light coming-of-age story about werewolves, true love, and choosing your own path despite destiny! books2read.com/u/mVYzQ6

Just accidentally followed a whole starter pack from my personal account instead of my work account. 😂 A bunch of video game studios are about to be wondering why a random fantasy author from Canada followed them!!
