Toronto invades Ottawa!
A retrospective on Can*Con 2025. Panels! Book sales! Gaming! More!
Pale Grey Dot was a big hit at Word on the Street–Toronto’s biggest literary festival. Read on for a recap and retrospective.
Today we have Gillian Secord, author of the Aurora Award finalist short story: BUDDY RAYMOND’S NO-BULLSHIT GUIDE TO DRONE HUNTING.
Today we check out R H Wesley, author of the Aurora Award Finalist short story, “A World of Milk and Promises.”
In a first for this site, we are doing a Part 2 interview! The occasion? Y.M. Pang being named as a finalist in two more Aurora Awards.
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.
Today we have Y.M. Pang, Aurora finalist and author of too many fantasy and science fiction stories to list out here. She is one of Toronto’s most successful short speculative fiction authors.
Today we have Justin Dill, author of the Aurora nominated story: The Dust Bowl Café.
Writer, editor, and musician, Justin is an icon of Toronto speculative fiction.
Today we have Jason Pchajek, author of the Cli-fi novel Bounty.
Jason will be in Toronto on May 22nd at Bakka-Phoenix to sign books!
