Really honored to have my novel, "The Lost Direction" featured in the May issue of the prestigious Literary Review of Canada in this rich piece exploring the nature & role of fantasy @reviewcanada

As an unknown Canadian author w/ no editor, designer, agent, publicist, or publisher, getting reviewed (during COVID no less) in a well-known honest-to-goodness print magazine w/ a long history like Literary Review of Canada feels like a major coup.

I& #39;d like to thank #Anthuor.
As a indie blockchain publisher ( http://lostbooks.ca"> http://lostbooks.ca ), this also speaks to the moment #cryptoart is having, where #NFT creators are finding ways to directly reach & engage w/ audiences who want their work, instead of relying on intermediaries.

This is the future.
Side note: Brad& #39;s review speaks to my life experience while writing the book

During the height of Trump-era lies, I was working counter- #disinformation for a web platform, non-profits, & several governments.

Shit was both very real & unreal
Probably not a many fantasy authors have dealt w/ the shit I saw on a daily basis working in counter- #disinfo & I hope they never have to.

Still, it taught me a lot about truth, lies & the very real need we all have for "self-indulgent" #fantasy! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😉" title="Zwinkerndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Zwinkerndes Gesicht"> https://timboucher.medium.com/fantasy-is-a-crucial-answer-to-reality-8d29bb7eaaf9">https://timboucher.medium.com/fantasy-i...
Super duper excited so many people are finding out about #Quatria from this epic review in one of Canada& #39;s foremost literary print magazines

To learn more about Quatria, put your tinfoil hat on & dive down this rabbit hole: https://twitter.com/tphlat/status/1338899805347647488">https://twitter.com/tphlat/st...
Also check out this podcast interview I did w/ @Spherical_Pod & @MysteryHarvest where we go into great detail about Ancient Quatria, and its myths & history & explore these issues of fantasy & reality https://someothersphere.podbean.com/e/episode-50-timothy-boucher-and-jeremy-puma/">https://someothersphere.podbean.com/e/episode...
In closing, just like I say about #cryptoart, just make art for one person - even & especially if that person is you. No shame.

Because the deeply personal is always going to be universal & we each have our own way of finding #Quatria.

Let your destiny find you!
