It’s extra weird when you are/have been a Vancouverite and you’re always seeing very recognisable but very mundane landmarks in scifi. Like “oh look the aliens are at the downtown library again.”

And needless to say Supernatural was on a-whole-nother level

I hate modern science fiction shows, all filmed in flatly lit green screen. I miss when science fiction shows weren’t cowards and just told the audience that every inhabited planet in the galaxy looked like British Columbia.

This representation of artists from Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas emphasizes Vancouver as a destination city for all art lovers alike.

Browse the fair from May 4–7.

My next novel is The Bezzle, a high-tech ice-cold revenge thriller starring Marty Hench, a two-fisted forensic accountant, as he takes on the sleaziest scams of the first two decades of the 2000s, from hamburger-themed Ponzis to the unbelievably sleazy and evil prison-tech industry:

I'm taking Marty on the road! I'll be visiting eighteen cities between now and June, and I hope you'll come out and say hello, visit a beloved local bookseller, and maybe get a book (or two)!
