Hello friendly Bsky people. Officially we're here now, and hoping to share news about the graphic novels we publish, and talk about publishing. Really hoping this doesn't turn into another billionaire's data scraping buffet.

“I wish… we got to choose what memories we hold on to,”

Thank you to Quin Lancaster & @albertaviews.bsky.social magazine for the insightful review of graphic novel Pass Me By Lily, by @katsimmers.bsky.social & Ryan Danny Owen.

Enjoy the review here:
bit.ly/43KFxWC

Find the book everywhere.
Alberta Views magazine plus lots of colourful books on some shelves. Nice. “I wish… we got to choose what memories we hold on to,” says a character in Pass Me By: Lily, by Kat Simmers and Ryan Danny Owen. The graphic novel captures the feeling of old memories, and although this is the third of a promised five-book series, new readers should have no trouble picking it up. Book one, Gone Fishin’, introduced us to the daily life of Ed, an old man living in an unspecified part of rural Alberta who suffers from dementia. Book two, Electric Vice, followed a young Ed in 1973 on tour with his queer glam rock band. Lily returns to the present, when Ed’s estranged granddaughter, Lily, a 17-year-old transgender girl, comes to stay for the summer.
