lurid flush
angry sketch
will remember
the sound
of waves upon
years ago
O love
we stood
while all
sobbed
we scarcely
like night
stars
far-off
came voices
knew
subtle sense
two walked
whose
gleaming
was
no outward
bird or
silence
and all
was
such fire of
moon-light
born
so glad
O love
seems but
silver
nights of woe
on
sunset
gleaming
till i
that sob and sigh
beach that break

new chains
of rare gems
they hung

bright, and
blaz'd in
they pil'd
of cedar
low did
the camp
hounds
with needles
dream'd of

Johnson and I won a 2023 Prix Aurora Award in the Best Related Work category for our disablity fiction anthology, Nothing Without Us Too. And it was a tie, so we were twinners with the lovely Shannon Allen and JR Campbell for their anthology, The Astronaut Always Rings Twice!

Disappointed you didn't win one of the free Kindle copies of #RiverOfCrows in the Goodreads giveaway (or maybe your weren't in the US, so you couldn't even enter)? You can still score a huge deal on the ebook version! There's a summer super-sale on right now and it's only $1.99 for a limited time. Most ebook platforms, and many countries!

In #RiverOfCrows, when evil sorcerer and self-proclaimed emperor Gideon Blackthorn sends out the Black Guard, they're usually sent out in particular formations. The number of crows you see in the sky tells you why they're there...
Which, of course, is lots of fun when the kids and I go for walks and there are crows around. :ds_crow: :ds_crow:
"Oh, look! Three crows today, sis. It was nice knowing you..."
"You're being summoned, mom. What'd you do this time?"
"Wait -- is that six or seven of them? Oh great. We're in trouble..."
"If seven crows mean death, then what do fourteen crows and a robin mean?"
😂

I guess I should update my pinned post to say that #MirrorOfWolves is officially out in the world now! 😃 :ds_crow: 🐺
When 12-year-old Ty learns of a mystical object that can tell him whether he truly is destined to save Arcania from the dark sorcerer Gideon Blackthorn, he is determined to track it down—no matter the cost. But when his quest takes a shocking turn will Ty still find the answers he needs, or will his relentless hunt for the truth jeopardize everything?

The bizarre countdown to 40 million people in #Canada (it's supposed to happen later this afternoon) has me thinking about "A Boy of Good Breeding" (1998), by the always excellent Miriam Toews. #CanLit
The novel: https://archive.org/details/boyofgoodbreedin00toew
