Oh look, my novels on yet another US banned books list. It's Freedom to Read week here in Canada, during a time when fascists burning books is not hard to imagine at all.

My weird little alien abduction story won 3rd place in Geist’s literary postcard story contest. Short form is my favourite writing of all, and when paired with an image, it’s over-the-top delightful. Thank you to Geist for holding up this lovely bit of story symbiosis. Next year is its 20th!
