An amazing piece of art to celebrate one of the crowing achievements in Winnipeg hockey. I know there's a site online that tracks all the murals in the city, but I'd love to go out and photograph them all.

Something I always thought was missing from large sci-fi universes (Star Wars, Mass Effect, Halo, etc) was a serious look into that way colonialism would work across galactic lines or when butting up against other intelligent beings. The closest we got (in my view) is the Drell/Hanar in Mass Effect.

This Thursday on #TheHockeyShow on 101.5 UMFM, @jasonpchajek.bsky.social and I welcome award-winning journalist @molinaripgh.bsky.social to the show to chat about his new book, The Pittsburgh Penguins: An Illustrated Timeline published by Reedy Press! Lots of Penguins talk at 5:30pm CT on Oct 30!

I’m so happy to be writing sci-fi again. There’s something about it that scratches a particular itch in my brain. Case in point, when I explain the Arachni come from colony of interconnected starships called the Weaved Hegemony, with next to no gravity, my brain goes “Hell yeah, more.” #BookSky💙📚🪐

Remember, chasing your dreams is a radical act. Writing books and making art are expressions of optimism and faith in human nature. Conceiving of better worlds makes them possible.

Current WIP is a space pirate adventure (golden age of piracy in space, with climate fiction elements) and had to think up an alien species that evolved to work well in zero-g environments. Ultimately settled on alien spiders. Oh what fun world-building this will make for 🤩 #BookySky💙📚🪐

Saw a report by CBC that Canadians are focused on buying books written by Canadian authors. Well how about a climate fiction and cyberpunk story set IN Canada, written by a Canadian? Interested? Check out my novel BOUNTY! Sequel coming soon 👀 #BookSky💙📚🪐 www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

Back to the query mines with a revised version of A House of Wolves. Streamlined the narrative, cut a storyline, and added a new chapter that my fiancée absolutely adored. Keep your fingers crossed for me y'all!! #BookySky💙📚

One of the best books I’ve read so far in 2025. Actually could not put it down until I was done! Go get a copy today!!

People are flooding YouTube with AI Generated slop history videos that drown out human creators. 🔗 www.404media.co/ai-generated...

Every once in a while I pop in to Amazon to check on BOUNTY, and today I learned there's only one copy left!? What!? They JUST got it restocked...wild. Seems my fellow canucks love a sci-fi story set in their own backyard. Who knew! #BookSky💙📚🪐

ICYMI - Before heading off to Worldcon, my interview with Night Beats dropped, where I talked all about my novel BOUNTY! #BookSky💙📚🪐 nightbeatseu.ca/2025/08/12/b...

Join co-hosts @adrianmgibson.bsky.social @mjkuhnbooks.bsky.social & Greta Kelly as they recap their adventures at @seattlein2025.org, from yummy meals and hanging out with friends to BarCon, moderating panels and hosting their epic live episode of the podcast Watch it HERE: youtu.be/aeFUEa-h7js?...

Would you care for a queer cyberpunk short story in these trying times? Because hi yes "To Access Seven Obelisks, Press Enter" is out for free now at @lightspeedmagazine.com ✨ This story means a lot to me and I'm glad it found such an amazing home 😭💜 🌆 www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/to-a... 🌆

I tell my friends I love them all the time and don't guard my emotions, I've teared up recording the show even if it's just about the computer because I give a shit about the work and how people are treated. You don't have to hide how you feel and those who try to make you stop are weak

🪐 Speaking of which, I have to say Bounty from @jasonpchajek.bsky.social has one of the best opening lines I’ve seen. (No, I’m not telling; go check it out for yourself.) never did get the hang of pronouncing his name, though. The “Pch” combination isn’t among my known consonant combinations.

Landed in Vancouver and was sent this. I always have to pinch myself when this happens because I grew up reading the @winnipegfreepress.com And speaking of…if any publishers want a story where a “retired” outlaw robs a magic professor of a powerful magical artifact…drop me a line. #BookSky💙📚

Officially back in maple syrup county 🇨🇦 Now for the roundabout trip home to Winnipeg!

Seattle you were amazing! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a wonderful experience at @seattlein2025.org Can’t wait to welcome everyone to Canada for Montreal 2027! Huge shoutout to my fellow panelists. Those panels simply weren’t long enough! Cant wait to see y’all again! #BookSky💙📚

see y'all there???

It’s the final day at @seattlein2025.org! Come check out my panel “The Implanted Future: What Could Go Right?” from 10:30-11:30 with @liaholland.bsky.social, @blazeward.bsky.social, and @ramez.bsky.social for an amazing discussion!

Worldcon Day 4! It’s signing day for me 😊 First up, a signing from 10:30-11:30 in the third floor garden lounge. Then from 12-12:30 I’ll be at the Nook and Cranny Books booth signing copies of BOUNTY! See you there! #Worldcon2025 #BookSky💙📚🪐

Wasn’t able to make this panel tonight, but oh man. Some “fans” need to realize GRRM doesn’t owe you anything, and to also put Sanderson (who was also on the panel) in that situation is an incredibly shitty thing to do.

Work on Day 3 begins! I’ll be around for a Table Talk session from 1:30-2:30. Looking forward to chatting with some cool folks 😁

Panel 2 Complete! So grateful I could speak with such talented and knowledgeable folk about the future of the cyberpunk genre today. Give these cool people a follow(L-R) @saganyee.bsky.social @spacevalkyries.bsky.social @abigailnussbaum.bsky.social Me 😁 @adrianmgibson.bsky.social

Scampered away from the con for a bit with my partner to enjoy to sights of Seattle. Got to stand in front of Climate Pledge Arena (my idea) and go through the Blown Glass Museum (her idea). Both were so worth it. On to the Museum of Pop Culture next! Feeling so at peace here 😊

Worldcon Day 2! If you’re at the con be sure to head down to room 321 at 6 for “Where Does Cyberpunk Go From Here?” You’re in for an amazing chat with me, @adrianmgibson.bsky.social, @spacevalkyries.bsky.social, @saganyee.bsky.social, and @abigailnussbaum.bsky.social #BookSky📚💙🪐

Panel 1 is complete at Worldcon 2025! Thank you everyone who attended, you had some amazing questions! On to the next! #BookSky💙📚🪐

The fun starts Wednesday!! I’m going to be at Worldcon 2025 in Seattle, and can’t wait to be part of the festivities. Full schedule can be found at @seattlein2025.org but I’ll be talking on panels, doing a table talk, and signing autographs. See you there! #BookSky📚💙🪐

Next week!! I’m going to be at Worldcon 2025 (@seattlein2025.org) with a jam-packed schedule. Looking forward to some cool conversations and meeting cool people! #BookSky💙📚🪐

It’s less than two weeks away! I’m going to be at @seattlein2025.org talking all things writing, Cyberpunk, and the world of tomorrow! Will also be signing copies of my cli-fli and cyberpunk novel BOUNTY. See you there! #BookSky💙📚🪐

My BA program didn't require a minor since it was pre-Masters, which gave me a chance to try a whole bunch of cool stuff. That said, the Intro to Greek and Roman Mythology course I took in Classics was stellar. But the most useful? A Conflict Management and Resolution course I took one summer.

Chatting with folks I'll be on panels with at @seattlein2025.org has got me super jazzed for the con. Being early in my writing career, this is still a surreal experience, and one I'm definitely not going to take for granted. I can't wait to talk interesting things with cool people!! #BookSky💙📚

About ready to go back to the query mines with A House of Wolves. Any agents out there want to rep a fantasy heist novel about a not-so-retired outlaw helping a group of adventurers steal a magic artefact from a possibly-evil university professor? Funny, fast, and flush with action #BookSky💙📚

This is a class worth checking into.

I'm going to be at Worldcon! So excited for this opportunity to meet folks and be on some very interesting panels. Full schedule is up on the website, but here's where you'll be able to find me throughout the week! #BookSky💙📚🪐

Tonight on #TheHockeyShow on 101.5 UMFM with @jasonpchajek.bsky.social and I, we are proud to welcome former MRU Cougars and Calgary Dinos star Courtney Kollman to the show! 5:30pm CT tonight as we hear about her career and what's next for her! 🔗: hockey-blog-in-canada.blogspot.com/2025/07/the-...

Definitely taking a more relaxed approach here as I wait for notes on Bounty 2 from my publisher. Don’t need to be rushing, and it’s left a lot of energy for DMing, and working on other stuff! #BookSky💙📚🪐

Currently at 34,000 words on my current fantasy WIP. What started as a way to flesh out the world for the DnD adventure I’m running has turned into a project I can’t stop thinking about when I’m not working on it 👀 Going to start sharing snippets soon! #BookSky💙📚

Currently working through the Buffalo Hunter Hunter by @sgj.bsky.social while out at the lake. The perfect story for being out in the Canadian wilderness where it gets pitch black outside at night. #BookSky💙📚

Honestly might go the self-pub direction with this one. Haven’t really decided yet.

I’ve been bit by the writing bug again. New project is up to 28,000 words and counting! Who is interested in a climate-fiction fantasy story set in a world where the heroes failed to prevent a world-ending calamity, and average people need to pick up the pieces? #BookSky💙📚

I turned the big 31 over the weekend, and my lovely partner got me two slick hats to add to my collection.

I’ve been really bad about posting on any social media. Just popping in to say… 1. I’m going to be at Worldcon as a panelist in August! Schedule dropping soon. 2. Bounty 2 is still coming! 3. I’m 20,000 words into a new project and can’t wait to share! 4. House hunting is exhausting #BookSky💙📚🪐

Had an absolutely amazing time this past weekend at Keycon 41. Sold some books, met some cool folks, and had some great discussions during my panel “Fiction in the Age of Climate Change.” Already excited for Worldcon in August! #BookSky💙📚🪐

The panel is today at 2! Come join me at Keycon for my panel “Fiction in the Age of Climate Change”! #BookSky💙📚🪐
