And we have the last (but not least) of my Aurora Award finalist interviews.
It's @gilliansecord.bsky.social of BUDDY RAYMOND'S NO-BULLSHIT GUIDE TO DRONE HUNTING fame!
It takes place in an imaginary world where the USA is hostile to Canada. Ha ha, could you imagine?

In a first for me, I've gone ahead and added a Part 2 to my interview with @ympang.bsky.social.
Why? Because she's a finalist for yet another two Aurora Awards. Is she bored of them yet? Possibly!
