I described it above very simply as a “post-apocalyptic thriller”, and that’s likely how it will be billed going forward. Moon of the Crusted Snow is a novel about the end of the world as we know it. I’m extremely grateful to these organizations for this opportunity. And just this fall, ECW acquired the publishing rights. My employer, CBC Ottawa, has graciously granted me leaves of absence to accommodate the creation of this novel. I began writing in September 2015 during the two-week Indigenous Writers Program at the Banff Centre, and I’ve been able to keep a steady writing momentum over the past year thanks to kind grants from the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts. But the more I thought about it, the more it grew. When I started developing this idea a couple of years ago, I originally intended it as a short story.
I posted a story synopsis on my Facebook page that you can read below:
It’s a post-apocalyptic thriller that takes place in an isolated First Nation in northern Ontario. I’m very excited to announce that my next novel, Moon of the Crusted Snow, will be published by ECW Press in the fall of 2018.
