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.
I’m happy to report that Pale Grey Dot has been nominated for an Aurora Award in the category of Best Novel! This annual award handed out by the Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Association (CSFFA) for English-language Science Fiction and Fantasy Awards. Needless to say, this is a great honour, and my thanks go out to my editors (Adria Laycraft and Melissa Morrow), Jamis Paulson and Sharon Caseburg from Ravenstone Press, and my critique group from the Toronto Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers. All of them helped to make PGD the best it could be!
