I'm thinking more of a reality show . Countries have to perform stupid tasks to get what we they want. Sorry Qutar, you've been vetoed.

Looks like AI generated hocum.

Nah. They just give Venezuela reduced ticket prices to the world cup.

Right thinks it's hilarious.

Year’s Best Canadian Fantasy and Science Fiction: Volume Three Year’s Best Canadian Fantasy and Science Fiction: Volume Three: Kotowych, Stephen: 9781738187539: Books - Amazon.ca

Because my children are Gen Alpha monsters, they want to know if I've sold 67 copies of Year's Best Canadian F&SF Vol 3 this month--get it? 6-7 * makes flailing juggling motion and despairs * I'm about 20 copies shy. For Black Friday, want to help an indie publisher pull one over on his kids?

Beginning of day 3 at @canconsffh.bsky.social. So tired I can't be bothered to get out of my chair to take this pic.

#can-con folks! I asked the hotel front desk to call me a taxi and they said it can take 30-40 min to get there. Give yourself lots of time, or book online beforehand.

First sale. @canconsffh.bsky.social officially a success.

Basking in the glory that is me.

Getting ready for @canconsffh.bsky.social day 2.

Arriving at @canconsffh.bsky.social

Leaving for CAN-CON: Conference on Canadian Content in Speculative Arts & Literature I'll be in the vendors room and have a panel Abandoning Traditional Publishing at 6:30. Be there or be square. (I'm so hip to the jive the kids are saying these days)

I'm going to be a vendor this year. The vendor room is open to the public. If you're in the Ottawa area this weekend (and why wouldn't you be?) drop by an buy some books before this greedy bunch gets them all.

And here's another... I’m going to CAN*CON in Ottawa this year as a vendor. Decided it might be a good idea if I had books to sell and I thought, “Hey, I got a bunch of previousl

I’m going to CAN*CON in Ottawa this year as a vendor. Decided it might be a good idea if I had books to sell and I thought, “Hey, I got a bunch of previously published short stories. Why not put a book together? And so I did.

Sad news. @On Spec Magazine is shutting down. I've always felt that to be a true Canadian author you needed to be published in a Tesseracts anthology and On Spec. I've been very fortunate to have done both multiple times.

Googled my book, Hound of the Arcanum on the off chance there might be a review.

Haven't forgotten about this whole blogging thing. Just working on a big secret project. I mean big! Big! BIG!


Also working on actual real-life work. Like to pay the bills and stuff. Adulting is hard.

End of the day at work and I'm handing in my paperwork. The dispatcher is the fill-in guy because the regular guy is off. Without warning he says, "Hey, is it true you're an author."


Usually at this point my eyes narrow with suspicion. Truckers are a wary bunch.

This thing ain't workin' I got this Wordpress add-on that's supposed to repost my blog stuff to FB and Bluesky. Don't seem to work all the time so this is mostly a test.

This is why I hate blogging. I just spent 20 minutes beginning with why I dislike social media, segued into a brief history of Facebook which morphed into a mini-rant about Elon Musk. Halfway through that I was like, WTF am I doing?


So, now I'm out of time.

Oh, Look. Another Post What shall we talk about today? I mentioned I have a book out. It's called Hound of the Arcanum and frankly, I think it's pretty good. It's not ground breaking

What shall we talk about today? I mentioned I have a book out. It's called Hound of the Arcanum and frankly, I think it's pretty good. It's not ground breaking literature, but it is entertaining.

Talk about not aging well.

It is close to migration season. Just saying.

This is one of the small press best-ofs that I was thinking about before. Such a great theme for a best-of! Please go buy this in droves so that they keep doing them each year.
