My new novel, #AllThingsUndertheMoon, was released today!
Na-Young, my protagonist, was inspired by my great-grandmother. I hope you enjoy her story.

Wonderful to see Oct's full Harvest Moon during Chuseok, Korean Thanksgiving/autumn harvest celebrations (Oct 6-8, 2025). My family and I practice gratitude, honour our ancestors, and engage in self-reflection. 🌕🍂 #Chuseok #KoreanHeritage #HarvestMoon #Korean #KoreanCanadian

Started teaching a new Intro to Novel Writing class at @uoftscs.bsky.social. We explored what a strong opening paragraph might look like. One of my favourites is from Miriam Toews' A Complicated Kindness. It immediately draws readers in with its tone & narrative voice. #WritingFiction

"The Moon is edging away at a rate of 1.5 inches (3.8cm) every year. And as it does so, our days are getting ever so slightly longer." www.bbc.com/future/artic...
How the Moon is making days longer on Earth
Billions of years ago the average Earth day lasted less than 13 hours and it is continuing to lengthen. The reason lies in our relationship to the Moon.

One of the novels on Alberta's banned book list is The Lesser Blessed by @richardvancamp.bsky.social. We've shared some of Richard's words about what this book has meant to him, and we hope that they will be cause for reflection about what is going on in the province.

Review of APPARITIONS. I wholeheartedly agree, especially with that last bit. A lot of people have slept on this book, dismissing it because it’s written by a Deaf author and features Deaf characters. I’ll keep promoting it until it gets the attention it deserves.
