#Writers: I’m heading out to talk to some high school classes about my book, writing, and publishing/ self publishing today! Then, I’m going to help them get started on their entries for the CBC First Page writing challenge. Do you have any nuggets of wisdom to impart on the youths?

Went to The Raptors in Duncan and met some adorable birdies! If you ever get the chance to go, do it! Some of these are working birds who scare other birds off airport runways and landfills! #birdsofprey #wildlife #conservation

Making my iconic Halloween costume in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Jaws. 🦈 The kitties were very…helpful. #jaws #jawsmovie #quint #shark #diycostume #sharkcostume #halloween #halloween2025 #jaws50thanniversary #robertshaw #scifinerd #cosplay #cats

Felt like a bag of 🍆 after getting my flu and covid shots, but the kitties took good care of me 🤒🥰

It’s release day for Red Demon by @sillauthor.bsky.social You may have seen my post last month with my review of this amazing science fantasy novel. You can now buy it at this URL: books2read.com/RedDemon #booksky #fantasy #bookrelease #indieauthor #scifi

Just a few snippets from my favourite reviews of my sci-fi satire, Out of Tune. It currently has 4.78 stars on Goodreads, although I would love more reviews (no, I will not pay for them, but I will send you a free ebook in exchange for an honest review). #booksky #indieauthor #bookreviews #scifi

Ever wonder how the universe was REALLY formed? Ever wonder what happens when a millennial discovers the “cutout” and “background” features on TikTok? All will be revealed in this video. #indieauthor #sciencefiction #scifibook #canadianauthor #scifiwriter #booksky

On this episode of #quoteroulette, I have special guest co-host, Winston, with me to share an excerpt from my #scifinovel Out of Tune. Today’s quote features dialogue from the Mabitu, aka, the Most Attractive Being In The Universe. #indieauthor #booksky #cutecat #canadianauthor #sciencefiction

My babies got a new tree. Don’t ask how much I spent on it 😬 #cutecats #cowcat #orangecat #spoiledcats

Out of Tune has found its way onto the shelves of another local bookshop: Books & Shenanigans. They sell new and used books, puzzles, games, and other gift items, and they are huge supporters of Canadian, local, and small press/ indie authors. #indieauthor #bookstore #canadianauthor #scifibook

I had the absolute pleasure of ARC reading Red Demon, by @sillauthor.bsky.social Release date: Sep 16th, pre-orders open now at linktr.ee/sillauthor Full review here: www.dcgreschner.com/post/red-dem... #booksky #indieauthor #debutnovel #bookreview #sciencefiction #fantasy #mushroomcore

Getting into character. It’s opening night for Ducks 🦆 at the Victoria Fringe Festival! tickets.intrepidtheatre.com/event/909:238/ #theater #actor #victoriafringe #victoriabc #vancouverisland

Feeling the #worldcon fomo 😩. I was offered a vendor table, but then a certain 🍊 ruined it for me. I hope everyone is having a great time! I did meet someone at a market last week who was going to worldcon and said she would bring some of my bookmarks to their table, so I’m there in spirit.

Just me rambling on about my experiences selling books at markets this summer. #indieauthor #scifibook #sciencefiction #canadianauthor #scifinovel #scifiwriter #marketlife #marketvendor #musings #booksky

Went on the Glow Tour with Pacifica Paddle Sports to see bioluminescent phytoplankton! It was pure magic. It does not photograph well, but I captured the sunset at the beginning of the tour. We also paddled through a huge group of moon jellies and saw seals 🦭. #victoriabc #ecotourism #marinelife

I’m ARC reading Red Demon by @sillauthor.bsky.social and holy crap, I am captivated! Beautiful writing and super cool world building with interconnectedness between humans and fungi. The characters are complex and I am so invested in their story. Full review to come once I finish reading! #booksky

The Trump administration wants to rescind the SCIENTIFIC finding that greenhouse gases cause global warming and harm human health, so that they can deregulate emissions 🤯 Unfortunately their emissions won’t stay within US borders. This affects the whole world! 🤬 www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

11. Out of Tune, by @dcgreschner.bsky.social. A very David Attenborough opening, pulled me straight in, and I always love to see a pleasant voice and footnotes. It has my curiosity, and I the lighter tone feels very deliberate. Neat cover art.

I’m in a play! It’s called Ducks and is part of #victoriafringefestival 🦆 It’s a comedy about workplace politics and scandal that is sure to have you laughing out loud. Note: you need a Fringe button AND a ticket for entry. tickets.intrepidtheatre.com/event/909:238/ #victoriabc #theater #actor

I’m back at the James Bay Market until 3:00 today. Next Saturday is my last day here, so don’t miss out on all the epic sci-fi nerdiness. #sciencefiction #canadianauthor #scifiauthor #indieauthor #marketlife #scifibook #booksky

Sometimes, we go for walks 😺 #catsky #catsonleashes #adventurecat #cowcat

I was told at one of the markets that I “don’t look like a science fiction author.” I’m not sure what that means (not a man?) or what exactly a sci-fi author is supposed to look like. So my solution was to grow some antennae. Am I science fictiony enough now??? #womanauthor #scifiauthor

It was Christmas in July at the #sidneystreetmarket last night, so @castle88.bsky.social and I turned our little booth into a winter wonderland. #marketlife #shoplocal #shopcanadian #canadianauthor #indieauthor #sciencefiction #scifiauthor #scifibook

On this episode of #quoteroulette, we find ourselves on pp. 166-167 of my #scifinovel Out of Tune, in the midst of a ritualistic dance between a human boy and a giant alien bird. #author #indieauthor #canadianauthor #booksky #writer #sciencefiction
