Heather Spears in The Link

I've been editing fiction for regional arts magazine The Link for over a year now. I've been lucky enough to publish sublime local authors including Leanne Simpson, Kate Story, Joe Davies, P.J. Thomas and more.

In the current May/June issue, we feature a Ballardesque flash piece by veteran Peterborough dancer/choreographer Ryan Kerr. I've heard Mr. Kerr read his short fiction a few times over the years and have always been impressed by his prose stylings so it's a treat to be able to share his work with a wider audience.

We also have a poem by Governor General Award winner Heather Spears. "Eidetica" is from her 2008 collection, I Can Still Draw, and appears on page seven.

Spears passed through Peterborough in late 2010. She read with fellow poet Susan McMaster at a salon du livre organised by Betsy Struthers. It was lovely to connect and talk about writing and the vaguaries of the publishing scene. Unbeknownst to many Heather is also a science fiction novelist whose triology was published by Tesseract Books before they were bought by Edge Publishing, so we have that in common. Swing by her website to look at her astonishing drawings, too.
