So happy to see my first novel, A Season in Chezgh'un is on the BC Bestsellers list. It's climbed up a bit, which is nice to see.

Smart people: what do you do when a media interview (you are being interviewed) is painful? Not nefarious per se but just acutely bad? I just said “I have to catch a flight now” but she was overtly unhappy about it (and ungrateful for my time).

Documentaries are supposed to present factual information. An Emmy win is a slap in the face to so many Indigenous people tonight. Pretendianism is an act of colonial violence and should never be celebrated. We can not denounce it for one, and ignore it for another.

I echo your sentiments Jennilee... This is an amazing honor, for which I'm so grateful to CBC, to those who selected our books, and to the wonderful team at Douglas and McIntyre.

It’s become rote, but I can’t overemphasize that Poilievre impugning *The Canadian Press* as a mouthpiece for Trudeau is indicative of a deeply, irreparably broken worldview. It’s legitimately unhinged. You have to be disconnected from a reasonable shared reality to say that.

Oh, my dear friend... this means so much to me... that you post this. And to know that my book is carried in Regina, by Indigo... I'm so honored that you're reading my work. I absolutely loved yours! Oh, and that interview we shared. Lovely.

Ah thanks so much, my dear friend for reminding folks of my novel. I'm getting so many great informal reviews from readers across the country, all different age groups and backgrounds. I cherish these. Abi, I appreciate your constant support and generosity!

This is a very thoughtful review... a few actual critical comments, which I understood... but nothing about the novel was left to chance. The aspects criticized were deliberate... However, I will be cognizant of these comments in my next novel.

A CBC producer has blown the whistle and revealed the deep bias the public broadcaster has when it comes to its colonial and anti-Palestine slant. breachmedia.ca/cbc-whitewashe…

It took a lot of bravery, integrity & knowledge that there’s going to be a lot of blowback but Dr. Gem Newman - one of my former students - did it anyways. Hire this guy, tomorrow. winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/2…

This post by a friend I admire and respect so much was just brought to the fore again... Thank you so much Angela for this incredible mini-review. I love it. For those who don't know, Peyakow is my second book, a sequel to Mamaskatch: A Cree Coming of Age
