Roth: Wheetago War Book One by Richard Van Camp (Author), Christopher Shy (Illustrator) www.theseaboardreview.ca/p/roth-wheet... So delighted to see this review of the new book by my friend and mentor @richardvancamp.bsky.social ! How wonderful!

Edmonton Expo Fans, come see our new movie Saturday at 4pm in Room 107: youtu.be/J8XfLDYgDlQ?... I’ll be signing books today at 430 and tomorrow after our screening and panel at the Renegade Arts table. I’d love to see you there.

One of the novels on Alberta's banned book list is The Lesser Blessed by @richardvancamp.bsky.social. We've shared some of Richard's words about what this book has meant to him, and we hope that they will be cause for reflection about what is going on in the province.

Big congratulations to @jarrethartnell.bsky.social Book Illustration of the Year winner for Shout Kill Revel #comics #art #books #horror

Both books are winners in our eyes

What a wonderful celebration of love & comics! A big thank you to @shelflifebooks.bsky.social the creators, friends & readers who joined us. Find out more about this positive comics anthology here: bit.ly/ACALove #Booksky #booklaunch #creators

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Submission tip: Your first sentence is a promise. It promises voice. Potential. Setting. Relationship. Immersion. Any of these, plenty of others. A great first line builds trust with your reader—whether they’re reading to acquire or for pleasure. Before you submit, ask what you’re promising 💜

Very excited by today's book post - a collection of comedic but heart-wrenching short stories that sound superb! #booksky

It’s amazing how fast they can build a concentration camp: “Alligator Alcatraz”— but they can’t manage to fix a levee, fund a hospital, or get clean water to poor communities.

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to

Lunchtime listening. Múm. Icelandic folktronica band (it says here.) Finally We Are No One. 2002 Fat Cat release. Nice music to hide inside to.

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

Bluesky you deserve some fireflies in a cornfield. Not pictured-the young hawk chased away by robins, the enormous kale after the rain, the smell of the tomato plant leaves.

Pine Marten Archer. Taking another stab at this one for the new Gwelf book The Haunted Garden. This is going to be a spooky autumn story. Pine Martens are expert climbers and prefer to fight from the treetops. More about the new Gwelf book soon. Tally Ho.
