Thank you for contacting the void. How may we direct your scream?

I was honestly surprised with how many times I read and re-read my novel from drafting, editing, working with my editor, working with my copy editor, then promoting the published book by… reading it out loud.

I’m glad I love my book. I’ve spent a lot of time with it.

Today I’m reading Widow Fantasies by Hollay Ghadery. Short, very impactful fiction collection.

Gonna log off this app for the rest of the weekend but I wanted to boost this.

If you are interested in participating in the nomination process for the Ignyte awards we have an application.

Our awards are very dear to me. I thought the dire urgency of them would fade. I was wrong. We keep going 🖤

Oh I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! (And Raina absolutely does gleam)

Writing has brought a lot of joy into my life. I’m happy I committed to it.

Same but I was 50 when I started writing seriously. I believe that the sacrifice and the value we put on our writing is part of what brings value to the reader. Art is about connecting humans through imagination.

YES! Medusa of the darkest depths…

Rare bus-sized phantom jellyfish caught on camera. See video. A Stygiomedusa gigantea, commonly known as the giant phantom jelly, was filmed at 250 meters below the surface.

I love the fact that a sea creature called stygiomedusa gigantea exists and is “bus-sized”

@schmidtocean.bsky.social has shared some incredible footage

Congratulations and I can NOT wait!

This issue is 50% original Canadian Toronto ghost stories with apartments. His is east end and mine is west. It's a serendipitous combo.

I believe the whole point of making art is to be delighted by making it. Or perhaps more precisely to be gratified by making it--some art, for instance, comes from anger, and while anger is not delightful it is important to express, explain, convey, etc. That expression is gratifying.

2025 Recommended Reading List Welcome to the Locus Recommended Reading List… We saw some fabulous books come out last year and are so pleased to let you know about them! Our recommendations are compiled annually by the Locus re…

Thrilled and honoured (and a bit stunned) to see Year's Best Canadian F&SF Vol 3 on the 2025 Locus Recommended Reading List. A first for the series...and me! :) So many incredible works and writers included there--congrats to all! 1/

Bonkers that we do the Groundhog Day stuff here even though it makes no sense in 98%* of Canada because "six more weeks of winter after Feb. 2" and "an early spring" are the same picture.

*I have had enough smug relatives from Vancouver Island and southern Ontario to allow for exceptions

I’ve got my ticket!

Good morning! I’m reading Hunting a Sea Glass Heart by Carolyn Charron.

Little Ghosts has become a precious resource for the SFFH community and we love them dearly!

Help them do even more of the great work they do!

Setting sun behind a snow covered pine tree.

Another snowy day during the longest January on record.

It’s that part of the winter where I look at the temperature and say,

“oh -13C? It’s warming up! I barely need my coat”

Makwa would be thrilled with the attention. 😂

Writing is a field that gives you a million reasons and opportunities to quit at every stage of the game and your love of it despite it all has to be your North Star at all times

@julieczerneda.bsky.social Did someone say shenanigans 👀?

Goodness! Julie Czerneda and @cclim.bsky.social in the same place?

Shenanigans guaranteed!

Makwa the puppy sends you joy. ❤️

I mean, erm, excited to talk about writing, your fabulous book A SHIFT OF TIME, the future of sci-fi and fantasy and the value of writing community! 😊

And also puppies.

Makwa absolutely slaying in a blue plush doggy jacket. In my defence, it’s -25C out!

I absolutely can’t wait!

Excited to talk about puppies too!

Snow-covered trail with trees frosted by snow on either side. The fence to the right has little snow piles along the top. Cross country ski tracks visible on both sides.

Beautiful snowy morning… again??!?
