How lucky we are to have Indigenous authors like @davidarobertson.bsky.social and Bruce McIvor at the @writersfest.bc.ca. Led by @michellecyca.com they provided a thoughtful discussion about reconciliation both historically and in today's world. I recommend reading their books and learning more!

If you attend WOTS on Sunday -- I'm signing copies of PLAGUE THIEVES at the @cormorantbooks.bsky.social booth (B11) at 11am.

However, I understand if you all go to see @davidarobertson.bsky.social (who has a panel at the exact same time/same day).🙂

However, I understand if you all go to see @davidrobertsonwriter (who has a panel at the exact same time/same day). If only we could all be in two places at once because I'd love to see/meet Mr. Robertson myself.🙂 #MeetMeAtWOTS #WOTS2025

A little bit of outdoor chaos fluttering through a crowded coffee shop, perching on chairs and tables, feels like an oddly fitting intrusion into the final chapters of “All the Little Monsters,” @davidarobertson.bsky.social’s excellent memoir of mental health.

In the foreground a blurry copy of “All the Little Monsters” by David A Robertson rests on a light wood cafe table. In focus in the background, a tiny brown sparrow meanders between the legs of occupied tables.

Just finished reading this amazing book by @davidarobertson.bsky.social . As we are getting close to the indigenous history month, I recommend everyone to grab a copy and go through it to understand how we can all work together to bring true reconciliation.
