"Edson’s vivid portrayal of the urban area, as well as the working class and underclass, creates a vision of Saint John that highlights the discrepancy between the pre-modern idyllic notion of life in Atlantic Canada and the more complicated reality of the region."

The Moon is Real coming soon...

No publication date yet, but The Moon is Real is coming this summer. Word from my publisher, Urban Farmhouse Press, is that it'll be here sometime around mid-June / early July. I'm starting to organize readings in Saint John, Moncton, Windsor, and Mississauga so far. I should be getting a cover preview soon enough so I'm excited for that. The photo being used is a beautiful shot of Saint John by my friend Lee Thompson, whose short story I reviewed on this blog a short while back. So here we go again, book #5, and my first since 2010. It's an exciting time.
