I sometimes feel like a handful of swirling leaves: Enough to set off the motion detectors around me, And feel a modicum of pride in my influence over the world. But, deep down, I fear that I am actually of little substance; Merely motion in want of mass.

#Cops, #androids, and #space #pirates, oh my! If you are a #sci-fi nerd who appreciates punchy prose, interesting (and likable) characters, and well integrated science-based world building, Orbiting Fortunes by @almacdonald.ca is for you. I highly recommend checking it out.

Just a reminder that the @canconsffh.bsky.social vendors room is open to the public this weekend, so you don't need tickets to pick up some sweet fantasy, science fiction, and horror merch from Canadian authors and artists!

Oh wow. This analysis by Hilary Layne has finally helped me understand the schism I've been perceiving in modern readers. Critical literacy vs. actual literacy... Who would have thought it could be so different (and disturbingly so)? youtu.be/8ynCVmw5AWk?...

@canconsffh.bsky.social is coming up soon, 17-19 October in Kanata, Ontario. I'll be there, selling and signing my #grimdark #fantasy 📚, and sitting on a panel called "Poor coping skills in SFFH". Hope to see you there!

For all authors or aspiring authors, be sure to check out the Eastern Ontario Writer's Festival this weekend. I'll be there speaking about narrative themes of good and evil, and also at a table during the 📚 fair. Casselman Public Library, Sept 13, 2025.

Hey, all! I'm going to be @ottawacomiccon.com tomorrow (Sat, Sept 5th, 2025), signing some books at the Indigo booth from 12 to 4pm. Come by, say hi, and grab a signed copy my #grimdark #fantasy 📚

Anyone else playing #Expedition33? I've been really enjoying the narrative so far, particularly the little nods. This made me actually laugh out loud. #ifyouknowyouknow

This is such an interesting take... youtu.be/_BBrDhgGz1k?si… Like most things, I find myself somewhere in between. I admit to enjoying the work produced by the formulas/counter-formulas, but I've sought something non-traditional in my fantasy writing. I guess time will tell.

Masterful fantasy - for all true fantasy fans! The Book of Astea duology by Zammar Ahmer, Riven Earth and Sundered Moon, were SO satisfying to read. They evoke that feeling when you start a new book, series, or game, and everything fades... and then you are disappointed when it's done so soon.

Looking for new grimdark fantasy? Check out NEMESIS SPAWNED - a dark psychological saga, with a sociopathic demigod, parallel realities, and visceral gore. 📚 #Grimdark #fantasy www.amazon.ca/-/fr/Nemesis...

✍️NEW THIS YEAR! In collaboration with Indigo (Booth #921-923), meet authors Morgana Follmann, Angelique Iles and James Lackie at Ottawa Comiccon! #ottawacomiccon2025 #indigo #fantasy

I see some authors posting how they write "clean" fantasy. I don't know exactly what that means, but I'm pretty sure my fantasy writing is "dirty" . . . really dirty. Graphic violence, sexual innuendo, swearing, bullying, and general immoral behaviour. Readers beware! 😉 📚💙

Looking to buy my dark psychological fantasy 📚, NEMESIS SPAWNED & WORLDS SUNDERED, online? Check out jameswlackie.com/where-to-buy... for handy links to various sites.

Just finished Nigh by @mariebilodeau.bsky.social If you like faeries, horror, and/or dystopian fiction, this is the 📖 for you. It's beautifully written, with lots of twists and turns. I particularly loved the allegory of cultural evolution woven into the story... It's such a great read!

I'm excited to announce that the wait is over . . . WORLDS SUNDERED is now available for purchase on the FriesenPress website with other retailers to list shortly! 📚 books.friesenpress.com/store/title/...

For those looking for a great new #fantasy read, check out NEMESIS SPAWNED & WORLDS SUNDERED. A dark psychological #fantasy epic 📚, it follows a demigod across multiple worlds in incarnations as an antihero, hero, and villain . . .

Just finished A Plague of Giants by @kevinhearne.bsky.social This fantasy epic pulls the reader effortlessly into the land of Teldwen, its diverse people, and their amazing lives. The book is a triumph, and it left me with only one problem... now I HAVE to finish the rest of the series. 💙📚😁

Just got a mention in a local paper related to a recent 📚 event... So fun! stittsvillecentral.ca/sci-fi-horro...

Hey all. I'll be at Indigo Innes in Orleans tomorrow, Saturday, June 7th, from 12-3pm. Drop by and say hi!

One of the things I love most about 📚 is that everyone's collective reading experience is so heterogeneous. Unlike trending videos, we're all consuming different content at different rates, so our imaginations can't help but become beautifully rich and diverse. It's lovely.

Just created a Spotify playlist to accompany NEMESIS SPAWNED 📚 . . . Should have done this ages ago. Enjoy! open.spotify.com/playlist/4CU...

If you are in the Ottawa area and into Horror, Sci-Fi, or Fantasy books, come by and meet a few local authors today!
