Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

A few months back I had an artist (Piotr Tekien) create a couple of digital art pieces set in my novel (The End of the World)'s dystopian future Earth. My newsletter subscribers got first dibs and now I'm sharing them here for funsies! 😀

Good morning fellow writers / readers / bloggers! My substack blog this week is a little more personal than usual. I've been put on medical leave because my multiple sclerosis is flaring up like the big asshole it is, so I figured I'd share my experience.

As writers, we should support each other. Although it may look like we're in competition, we're not. The creative industries need many voices and visions in order to survive. We're working together to keep publishing alive and a diverse readership engaged—and that requires many voices, many stories.
