Quick note to say I had a super time being interviewed by Michael Elves on the 101.5 UMFM Turning Pages Podcast about all things Pale and Grey: https://umfm.com/programming/broadcast/turning-pages-june-4-2025 Per the synopsis: “While [Don] has been part of the Canadian science-fiction writing community for years, Pale Grey Dot is Torontonian Don Miasek’s debut novel. He discusses the decisions behind the future he has crafted, how telling the story from multiple viewpoints has both benefits and complications, as well as more behind the writing & plotting of the book.”
On May 5th, 2024, the Aurora Award nominated Pale Grey Dot was released into the wilds, so I thought we’d take a quick glance at the year of successes.
