Not a patriotic bone in my body but you’re god damn right I’m cheering for the lads in red out on that pitch

Finished school Finished another draft of my next novel Is this summer finally the time for me to start using Bluesky regularly?

The winner of the 2025 Danuta Gleed Literary Award will be announced next week! I was on this year's jury and thoroughly enjoyed reading these debut collections of short fiction. Check out the shortlist here: writersunion.ca/news/short-l...

I got a new novel called Early Bird coming out April 2027 via Random House Canada. If you're interested, here's a little bit on where it came from and what it's about.

I remember hearing @waub.bsky.social say something to the effect that First Nations people on Turtle Island have been living post-apocalyptic since First Contact. The world changes, but it doesn't end.

I'll be in North Bay this Saturday to read and talk at a fundraiser for the Canadian Ecology Centre, which was hit hard by a windstorm last year. If you're in the area, please come out and support the CEC and stories about the land! www.baytoday.ca/more-local/c...

If you're in Sudbury, come out to the Doran Planetarium at Laurentian U on Thursday at 7PM to hear Madhur Anand read from her latest novel To Place a Rabbit. It's one of the most thought-provoking and unique books I've ever read, and I'm stoked that I get to ask her about it on stage!

The start of a new month already!? @waub.bsky.social wrote that the Anishinaabe name for this month is Onaabenii-giizis, meaning moon of the crusted snow, which matches the snow conditions here in Ottawa right now, and is also the title of his apocalyptic novel ecwpress.com/products/moo... .

I love Saskatchewan so much I'm coming back for a 2nd visit this winter! If you're in North Battleford, please come to the library on Wednesday to hang out. In the afternoon I'll share some writing advice with students, and in the evening I'll talk about the path to Moon of the Turning Leaves

The blue and white maple leaf means more to me anyways so I’m stoked for Auston

It is the follow up to Moon of the Crusted Snow & @waub.bsky.social has gifted us a deeply moving & beautiful story filled with love, trust & resilience (+ a few moments of deep grief) within his words. A true balm for my weary heart 💙📚

Spent the evening wrapping presents and alternating between episodes of Shoresy and Heated Rivalry

My fave #holiday #winter #solstice mysteries, today on @crimereads.bsky.social @anncleeves.bsky.social @ellygriffiths.bsky.social @carolgoodman.bsky.social @minotaurbooks.bsky.social @waub.bsky.social crimereads.com/winter-solst...

If you're looking to add another podcast to your listening habits I would recommend Unknown Worlds of the Merril Collection. They recently spun back up again with a good interview with @waub.bsky.social His books are great and worth checking out.

'For the second year in a row, @waub.bsky.social’s 2018 dystopian novel Moon of the Crusted Snow is indie booksellers’ top-selling title published by a Canadian press.' #BookSky #CanLit #BuyCanadian 📚🍁

It was a real treat to have @waub.bsky.social on the pod this week. As an author I admire, his insights meant a lot and he may have even convinced me to try my hand at fiction one day. Catch it on Eastlink or listen below. Apple: bit.ly/49ZO1gq Spotify: bit.ly/49pdqQB

My only complaint about hearing “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” a million times this past week is being repeatedly subjected to Gordon Lightfoot’s butchering of “gichi gami”. He clearly didn’t have a Anishinaabemowin speaker nearby during songwriting!

Saw Tom Morello in North Bay last night. He told some great stories and played some stellar tunes. Very cool that he visited us here in Northern Ontario!

We may have been out of the office yesterday, but that doesn't mean we're going to miss out on bulking up your #TBR stack in honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day. Featuring @sgj.bsky.social, @waub.bsky.social, @reelindian.bsky.social, Morgan Talty, Cherie Dimaline, and Vanessa Lillie. #BookSky

Graham Greene helped make the rest of the world see Indigenous people as real human beings. The first time I saw him on screen was in Dances With Wolves and the last time was in The Last of Us. What a tremendous legacy! RIP ✊🏽🙌🏽❤️

At night, Neskantaga Coun. Lashaunda Waswa read aloud to the dozen or so youth from @waub.bsky.social Rice’s post-apocalyptic, back-to-the-land novel “Moon of the Crested Snow.” She says the story about cities gone dark & First Nations having to rely on each other for survival is relatable.

Georgian Bay paradise

#Booksky rec: Moon of the Crusted Snow by @waub.bsky.social was so good I immediately started Moon of the Turning Leaves which will stay with me forever - wow! I highly recommend the audio versions because Anishinaabemowin is so beautiful to hear and Billy Merasty is a joy to listen to.

I've been saving @waub.bsky.social "Moon of the Turning Leaves" for my trip up to the Boundary Waters, and can now confirm that this novel is perfect accompanied by the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks and the haunting cry of the loons.

If you’ve read @waub.bsky.social’s Moon of the Turning Leaves, you’ll get the coincidence of finding this old Nat Geo beside the TV at one of our vacation stops. I recommend it if you’re interested in a different angle on post-apocalyptic storytelling (read Moon of the Crusted Snow first).

🤘🏽❤️ OZZY ❤️🤘🏽

More #MoonDay fun with #CanLit! 💕🇨🇦🌕📚🌙 'Moon of the Turning Leaves' by @waub.bsky.social Seen here w/ 'Moon: A Peek-Through Board Book' by Britta Teckentrup & 'Water Moon: A Novel' by Samantha Sotto Yambao tidewaterbooks.ca @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social

Three years ago today: Rage Against the Machine at Ottawa Bluesfest

Sweet, sweet read. I stayed out of the hot weather today and binged this. Many thanks to @waub.bsky.social for his wonderful storytelling. I feel sick and happy all at once. I am demised. Two enthusiastic thumbs up! This is a sequel. Read Moon of the Crusted Snow first.

Proud to have grown up on the Great Lakes Prouder to raise my kids in the same waters

My 30 year, 3 continent search for the best club sandwich has a new top club. Cafe St Paul’s in Perth, Scotland. Rustic bread with the perfect toastiness; real chicken slices; bacon, lettuce, tomato; and a slight zing to the mayo. cc @waub.bsky.social

BLACK SABBATH FOREVER

“Our world isn’t ending. It already ended.” ~from @waub.bsky.social’s dystopian novel, Moon the Crusted, after a blackout occurs on an Anishnaabe reserve in Northern Ontario.

Both of @waub.bsky.social ‘Moon of..’ books are on sale at Kobo today. Excellent reads that I cannot recommend enough. #Booksky

This summer look for these two great anthologies featuring Indigenous voices from across Turtle Island. I contributed a piece of writing to the one called A Steady Brightness of Being. It's a letter of love and hope to my future great-great-grandchildren ✊🏽❤️

Did you see this @waub.bsky.social?

Here’s what I plan on reading this summer. What about you?

Guess it's up to the Leafs now
