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-...

terrific book

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 .

I'm guess the founders of what was then called The Oil and Gas Consservation Board would be outraged. ie. G W Govier. ie Dad.

maybe they can sell it to regain the $$$ Trump is taking away?

ugh.

Very interesting! I'm reading these diaries right now.

Right! Payback.... worth doing.

Years ago, I began writing short reflections on places, people, and moments that have stayed with me in the form of postcards. I now share them with my mailing list and recently had the chance to read and discuss a few on Writers Radio. Here is the link to tune in:

Well done! I think it's gross and that the ROM should ask him to step down AFTER making sure he gts a plane to that prison and brings the poor innocent man home.

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

gak! they did?

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!

Happened during the Viet Nam war, too, and Cdn academics struggled to find jobs in their own country.

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!

I love all my new followers here. Thank you! But you're almost all men. Where are the #women on #bluesky? #writers #canadians #artists #feminists #pundits #media

yes.

Given your history of moving to Canada because of the Viet Nam war, have you read #thewomen? I'm reading it now. Viet Nam brings the whole US attitude into focus.
