First ever market. Was very slow, likely due to questionable weather. Will be back at Linden Woods next Thursday to sell some books. My little sticker provider may be there too - she is on the back of the books after all.

My second book is coming out in two days, I've really not done a good job advertising. Life got so much busier than I expected/badly planned for. Next book release I really have to aim for when I'm not ridiculously busy, haha. Anyway, here's a lil'poster I did make when I wasn't super busy.

Not a lot of info on this. Tomorrow at 9:30. RBC Convention Centre. Winnipeg cyclists or anyone else who cares about active transportation and a cleaner city. Make sure to come. A body there is a voice there. A voice there is a direction to change towards a safer, cleaner, better city. #winnipeg

Fun, wonderful, goofy trailer for my upcoming sequel, The Phoenix and the Ant: Ancestral Cries.
My students clapped when I showed them. Both groups I teach. Made me feel amazing. Apparently I have some fan art on the way, I can't wait. #booksky #mgauthor #indieauthor #booktrailer

If you love fantasy adventures, especially ones that are simple, but with a lot of lore behind them, then The Phoenix and the Ant by SMVL Trudeau is perfect for you.
It's great for kids 10+ and also a ton of fun for adult readers. Stayed tuned for the sequel in May.
Available nearly anywhere!

Got a commission made-up for my upcoming sequel, The Phoenix and the Ant: Ancestral Cries. Really happy with the quality. It includes the four "main" characters of the story. (yes, the ant is a main character). The art was done by floofaeth. From left to right, Fero, Ti, Haro the ant, and Slayer.
