From our NOT THE SAME ROAD OUT (fiction anthology) reading last night at Block Shop Books in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia (🙏🏽 to Celia Klemenz who grabbed these shots). And thx to everyone who attended! 📖💚 #blockshopbooks #tidewaterpress #notthesameroadout #triciasnell #bevvincent

I am reading from a (fiction) story of mine @ BLOCK SHOP BOOKS in downtown Lunenburg, 6pm, Thursday, July 31st. Please come! Here’s a 1-min video that Tidewater Press, who published the story, made of me (and my dog ☺️) about the story. I’m reading with the excellent NB writer, Bev Vincent.

See CBC’s “18 books you should read in June.” It’s July, but you can read the anthology I’m in—see link in comments—any month ☺️. Here’s link… (scroll down to 12th on list) www.cbc.ca/books/18-can...

I am delighted to be reading with Bev Vincent at Block Shop Books on Thurs July 31 at 6pm. Please come! My story is set in Lunenburg, with scenes on Rum Runners Trail and also No 9 coffee shop! #blockshopbooks #blockshopbooksevents #triciasnell #bevvincent #tidewaterbooks #rumrunnerstrail

The anthology that contains my story "Adrift" (not Ben Vincent's!) is reviewed in The British Columbia Review. @tidewaterpress.bsky.social

Not sure why I put the box on my piano to open it, since it meant I had to crouch to get my face in my phone’s camera frame, but hey, you can’t open a box twice, now can you? Next time I’ll apply some forethought, and maybe even lipstick… ☺️ @tidewaterpress.bsky.social

Trillium Trio (Liam Britten, guitar; Bev Shaw, violin; Tricia Snell, flutes/Celtic whistles) has a Celtic-Classical-Folk benefit concert this coming Sunday. PLEASE COME! At-will donations at door, 50% going to SPARK!, a youth arts education fund in Lunenburg County, and 50% to Trillium's expenses.

Please join us! Trillium & friends (fiddle, guitar, flute/Celtic whistles, bodhran) are celebrating spring and raising money for SPARK!, an initiative that funds arts programs for youth in Lunenburg County. 🌳 A mix of Celtic, Folk, & Classical Music. ☀️ June 1st, 4-5pm. 🌺 See poster for details.

The Canadian coast-to-coast-to-coast anthology containing my short story “So Late in the Season,” is titled NOT THE SAME ROAD OUT (Tidewater Press, Ed: K.J. Denny). It's forthcoming June 2025, & can be pre-ordered in Canada at McNally Robinson and Indigo Books, and in USA at Barnes & Noble. ☺️

Bev, Liam, Jody, and I are playing at Betty’s at the Kitch in Mahone Bay this Thursday, 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM. Would love to see you! We’ll be debuting a few new tunes we’ve been working on. 🎶💛

My son Luke, aka Lightnin Luke, (fiddler, guitarist, pianist, singer-songwriter) played the Filmore West in San Francisco last night. Both with his band, The Bridge City Sinners, who opened, and sitting in with the headliner band, The Devil Makes Three. Could not be prouder of him. Here’s a snippet:

1-min sampling of music from Trillium, the trio I play in (recently a quartet with bodhran player, Jody Conrad, joining us). Get in touch if we fit an event you have coming up. We play an eclectic mix of trad, Celtic, folk, gentle jazz, & renaissance/classical music. youtu.be/Vi5TTlzePk4?...

Just learned that the anthology my story will appear in is listed in CBC Books and can be pre-ordered (links in comments) at Indigo books and McNally Robinson in Canada, and Barnes & Noble in the USA, among other places. Tidewater Press also has UK distribution so there may be places there too.

On the Liverpool docks in 1885, eleven-year-old Nellie says goodbye to her mother forever. She's bound for Quebec, Canada....She tells you her story, in her bright, hopeful voice, in my fiction chapbook, NELLIE. More info: triciasnell.com/shop

Join us today at the Lunenburg Library, 2pm, for a discussion on collaborative publishing and the Little Books Collective. Brief readings are part of the mix, and books for sale. 📗📕📙📘📖📚✨

Had a lovely time reading tonight from NELLIE: AN IMAGINED HISTORY at Lunenburg Bound Books, along with Tara G. Harris and Anthony Purdy. #littlebookscollective #historicalfiction #nellieimagined

1/IMPORTANT thread about Bluesky funding and origins. Many folks know that it was seeded by Jack Dorsey around a libertarian vision of a magical network that wouldn’t need moderation because it would be decentralized and baked into a protocol (somehow).

Would love to see you this Thursday at our reading!
