It's officially official. My debut book has been announced: Land's Sake is a short story collection full of deconstructed fairytales, folktales, and terrors. I had fun writing it. You'll have fun reading it. https://inkedingray.com/blog/ #CanLit #bookstodon #ShortStories #AuthorsOnBookstodon #IndigenousAuthors #SpeculativeFiction

SO excited for this book tour from trans CanLit legends Vivek Shraya and Kai Cheng Thom but they only shared it on Instagram 😭😭😭 So I'm doing my part and reposting it here vivekshraya: We couldn't be more thrilled to be coming together to share our new books with you! Both are speculative fiction novels that explore future worlds - THE HYSTERICALS is about a dystopia, while THE SHAPESHIFTER'S GUIDE is about utopia. And both are responses to the very real-world social and environmental crises we are facing today... We are hoping these events can be spaces for trans and queer people to find release, inspiration and each other! More details will be shared later this summer, but for now, please save your dates and pre-order our books from the links in our bios! We can't wait to see you very soon <3 xo Vivek & Kai Cheng Photo: @ nessdevos HMU: @ alanna_ot_love The Hystericals: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/704484/the-hystericals-by-vivek-shraya/9780771001390 The Shapeshifter's Guide to Gym Class: https://www.simonandschuster.ca/books/The-Shapeshifters-Guide-to-Gym-Class/Kai-Cheng-Thom/9781668210871 https://www.instagram.com/p/DaAXiADkQ1y/ #bookstodon #books #canlit #canada

Hi #ScribesAndMakers ... I am new and introducing myself! I believe I qualify as both a scribe and a maker. I write and publish ecofiction (mine and other people's), am a painter (abstract art inspired by my Reiki practice), and work as an architect in the realm of historic buildings (among other architectural pursuits; heritage is my fave). Just getting ready to publish ecofiction novel #3! I'll share more soon. In the meantime - Goodreads and Studio pages are linked on my bio. Have a great day all! P.S. I'm in British Columbia (BC) Canada. P.P.S. My favourite activity here is #3GoodThings and my favourite person here is @PaulaToThePeople@climatejustice.social, our Climate Justice Social Mastodon admin. :-) #Architecture #Art #BC #Canada #CanLit #CreativeWriting #Ecofiction #Reiki #VisionaryEcoficion #Writing

A very special episode of Alberta Unbound for you! This year marked the 20th anniversary of the University of Alberta’s Kreisel Lecture, named for the great Edmonton author and academic, Henry Kreisel. Normally, CBC Radio’s flagship doc program IDEAS broadcasts the annual literary lecture. But this year, IDEAS opted not to do so - which means WE have the honouring of sharing the podcast with you. . This year’s special anniversary lecture featured three remarkable authors - Richard Van Camp, Shani Mootoo and Lise Gaboury-Diallo. Today, we’ve dropped the first episode, featuring a lovely talk by Richard, an Edmonton-based Dene novelist and essayist. But the whole thing kicks off with my own appreciation of Henry Kreisel, a mentor whom I adored. A very special pre-Canada Day treat for you all. #AlbertaUnbound #yeg #Edmonton #ualberta #canlit

Currently working on an opera libretto called Mariasse, based on the 1936 timeline from my novel Our Lady of Steerage. I wanted to write a “name” opera like Norma or Lulu. Only at it a few days but already on Scene 3. This oblique strategy card is probably one of the best pieces of writing advice I’ve ever had. #obliquestrategy #operalibterro #ourladyofsteerage #timeline #1936 #canlit #fiction #writingadvice #workinprogress #adaptations
