www.bbc.com/news/article... More news about the opera 'The Great Wave'. It had a short run in Scotland. I'd love to see what it makes of Hokusai's daughter, #theghostbrush #theprintmakersdaughter

I don’t know who needs to hear this but listening to an audio book absolutely counts as “reading” a book. In fact, I’d argue that listening to an author read their own work aloud is an exceptionally magical and even holy experience. I love it so much. Especially as my eyesight gets worse.

There is an old word to describe going to a foreign power and asking for their assistance in breaking up a sovereign country — it’s treason. Canadians are standing together in defence of this beautiful land. 🇨🇦

The historical truth exists. Try as you might to erase it, it’s still there. And when truth is known, your goals will be exposed. You’ll be seen for who you are.

I am tempted to write about being an Albertan. If I can still BE and Albertan given the act it is currently putting on. This I realize I've done it. This was pubbed in @albertaviews.bsky.social 5 years ago. I still mean it. albertaviews.ca/back-to-the-...

Are you a fan of #audiobooks ? I'm heading to the recording studio next week to "direct" the reading of Thee Sisters Bar & Hotel for audio. No I'm not going to be "the voice". That will be the wonderful Nan Pool. Adding a bit of music and background for fun @bookgaga.bsky.social

Which is also why we still need to write them .

RED FUJI out in Japan in a month. Here's the cover. A few Boston Brahmins adorn it. Wonder why... #canlit #translation #Japan #Japaneseart #Hokusai #Boston

How do you like the cover for my new novel RED FUJI? Hits shelves in Japan April 25. Fiction with historical characters, interesting presentation. I like it!

I wonder how this excitement will bleed into S&SCanada...

With my incredible, girlish, 89-year-old friend Joy Kogawa at the Toronto Reference Library where she wrote the groundbreaking novel OBASAN about the Japanese-CDn internment. She wanted to see if her plaque was still there. It is. 5th floor!

on #InternationalWomensday I am thinking of my many friends and colleagues of #TheShoeProject. Women from around the globe who came to #Canada as #immigrants or #refugees telling their stories and making us all stronger. Happy Day to you all, and I miss you!
