A CanCon thread of books I've read!

1. Part Time Girl by @adriaan.braevitae.com. I was gripped throughout this YA story. A super-relatable teen MC trying to do the right thing while dealing with identity challenges and mysterious magical threats. Loved the ending. 💖 braevitae.com/w/parttimegirl

I spent today down in Hamilton, Ohio as part of the official grand opening of a new @barnesandnoble.com there, and used this enormous pair of scissors to cut the red ribbon. I considered stealing the scissors. I ultimately did not. If the staff cannot find them later IT WAS NOT ME.

I swear, this is true. I got my first publishing contract almost ten years ago because the publishing rep liked my fashionista dalek cosplay at a local con. Then I accidentally blurted out a pitch using my autistic blurty trait.

Iva out there making us work for it today!

I continue to be amazed how often the first thing popping into my head is the band without the song. My brain knows so many songs, it's like hang on, let me rummage through the boxes in the basement, right, it's a band filed under 'B,' whassthenameagain 😂

Welp it's snowing, but I am here at Parkdale Hall (1605 Queen St West) and ready to sell some books and do some murders! If you're in Toronto's west end, come say hi between 11AM and 4PM!

#StetDanceParty song of the day:

"Little Bird" by Annie Lennox

Her Diva album is otherworldly. The perfect fit for a cold November day.

A day of lounging around the house to recover from an illness requires ✨THE ECCENTRIC WIZARD HOUSE COAT✨

Best thing I ever crocheted.

🧵Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A small human (4?) wearing a frilly crocodile print dress has a VERY important announcement to make.
Looking up at Mum, she announces very solemnly: "My brain has a thought inside."
Mum treats this information with the seriousness it deserves. (1)

#StetDanceParty final track. In a Gowan "Strange Animal" album mood today. Dancing out with hope.

Don't let them defeat us
We're on our own oasis of joy
No, don't let it be swept away

The geography of you
is shifting
sharp cliffs giving way
to rolling hills
shallow streams burbling
into deep lakes
with complex ecosystems
and your hard ground
morphing into moss
so soft beneath my feet
that I could linger here
forever

I also write books, and any support for them (including library borrows and word of mouth) helps me spend more of my time writing fiction, so it is much appreciated.

My main contract gig is being cut, and my family responsibilities are less demanding than a few years ago. So please get in touch if you know of writing/editing/research/workshop positions, any hours, ideally remote or Ottawa. Extra points for good causes. I know it's rough out there for everyone.
