June Wrap-Up: Queer Short Stories, Collaborative Tragedy, and Tips for Narrating Your Novel
Who thought it was June 28th three days in a row and has lost all concept of time? This girl!
Yeah, sorry for posting this so late. I genuinely did not process the fact that a new month had arrived, even though I’m Canadian and we have Canada Day on July 1st. 🙃WE’RE DOING GREAT.
What I’ve Enjoyed

Love After the End: An Anthology of Two-Spirit and Indigiqueer Speculative Fiction by Joshua Whitehead et al
I’ve been meaning to read this collection for a while, so I had to snatch it up when I saw the ebook available through my library. It’s fairly short – there are nine stories featured – but it still manages to pack a punch while exploring a variety of perspectives on queerness, indigeneity, and the future of our planet.
Out Now: Queer We Go Again!by Saundra Mitchell et al
Another queer short story collection seemed fitting for pride month, and this one included an impressive variety of stories, both in terms of the characters featured and the genres explored. There were a whole boatload of 4- and 5-star reads in here for me.

EXU: Calamity
This mini campaign ripped my heart out and poured salt into my gaping, bleeding chest wound, and I said, “Thank you, that was lovely.” Seriously, even if you’ve never watched a Critical Role campaign before or explored much in the world of actual-play TTRPG shows, I highly recommend this one. It’s a masterclass of storytelling, roleplaying, improv, and good ol’ D&D. Just be sure to bring tissues.

Queer Books Everyone Should Read
Pride month means it’s time to celebrate queer books (though, if we’re honest, it’s always time to celebrate queer books). So here’s a list of some of my top recommendations! Hopefully next pride I’ll have even more.
How to Choose the Right Narrator For Your Novel
I feel like it’s been a while since I published any writing advice, so this month I’m offering some tips on picking a narrator and POV style. It might sound like a simple choice, but there’s actually a lot to consider!
And that does it for June! Hopefully July will find me more coherent with regards to the passage of time, but who knows? Everything is on fire all the time.
