Want to support this volunteer website? Dragonfly Pub’s ebook store is open! You can read about, buy, and download our ebooks directly. Your support allows me to keep up the otherwise huge volunteer effort at Dragonfly and helps me to afford resources used at the site, such as my yearly subscription to Canva, continuation of the .eco domain and costs of yearly hosting, the buying of books to spotlight when a review copy is not available, the occasional cost of pro plug-ins, such as forms used in contests, and so on.
- The June newsletter is out. You’ll find extra news, such as book of the month, flashbacks, and extra commentary. The featured image in June is of Robert Johnson, inspiration for Sammie Moore (in the film Sinners) according to SreenRant. Fair use, Wikipedia.
- Our old nature, ecology, and climate playlist was nearly a decade old and had almost 400 songs. In 2025 is a new playlist. Learn more here.
- The Black List is thrilled to announce that it has partnered with NRDC’s (Natural Resources Defense Council) Rewrite the Future program, The Redford Center, The CAA Foundation, and NBCUniversal to launch the fourth annual NRDC Climate Storytelling Fellowship. The Fellowship will grant $20,000 each to three writers or writing teams to support revision of a feature screenplay or pilot that engages with climate change in a compelling way through events, actions, character, emotions, plot, and/or setting.
- Sometimes the best things in life are free. My novella Bird Song is available for free (online only) at Dragonfly Publishing. I began writing this genre-blurring novella in 2014 and finished it during the early days of Covid-19. This is an eco-weird climate parable with Greek mythology as well as a contemporary YA romance. TW: some gore in the weird sections.
- Ecology Action Centre’s [PDF] spring magazine is out; in it is my article “Two Nature Artists in Mi’kma’ki/Nova Scotia”.
