August was a big month, with reviews in the Thunder Bay Chronicle-Journal and the local arts magazine, The Walleye.
It made the top ten bestseller list for the local bookstore, Entershine Bookshop.
And the website for my publisher, Shuniah House Books, was recently updated. It now includes discussion questions--should you want to talk about Antti Myllysilta with a group of your reader friends. Look for the guide here.

Snow on the porch on the "land side" of the house. |
For the past several months, my wife (mostly) and I (on occasion) have been compiling a selection of my poetry, my ten-minute plays, and my short fiction and nonfiction. This project, still in search of its final title, will make an appearance this spring.
We recently read through the full manuscript, trying to find those annoying errors BEFORE it goes into production and fixing things becomes more difficult.
Reading through it was... illuminating? Humbling, for sure (but not for long).
Some of the themes that have appeared in my novels began as ideas that I worked through in fiction and creative nonfiction. Also, I think a lot about poets and poetry, music and science--and the afterlife.
Stay tuned for more about this collection. I hope readers enjoy it.
