A Pale Grey Writing Retreat – 2025

March 7th to 10th was the retreat of one Aurora Award winning author, Peter G. Reynolds, up in the Blue Mountains of Ontario, attended to by twelve incredible authors, all allegedly working on their individual projects.

As for me? I was wrote REDACTED, which I can’t wait to share with you later in the year.

James Downe, hard at work reviewing his proof copy of The Gorgon Court, the finale to his Sisters of Jade trilogy.

Me and a recently agented Anahita Eftekhari! It looks like we’re doing work, but don’t be fooled.
This photo is 100% staged. Peter is not doing work, nor is Anahita providing assisting. Trust me.
Me, the Aurora Award nominated Gillian Secord, and the other Aurora Award nominated Y.M. Pang. It sort of looks like I’m the only one actually working, doesn’t it?
The amazing Martin Munks, editor of Wight Christmas, and Gertrude, the best mascot ever! (Martin is the human. Gertrude is the dog, in case you were unsure).
