A Fiction Writer's Guide to History: Part I
Every story needs a setting. Whether your novel is set in the present day or in some made-up world, you need to choose a time and place for it to take place. If you're writing historical fiction, you'll need to be even more specific. You'll need to know not just what year it is, but what year it is relative to our own timeline. Every period has its own unique set of events, politics, cultural attitudes, and technological advances that will affect your story.

Black and white and red all over: A review
Seeing Red is a first-of-its-kind work of media and literary history that analyzes Canadian English-language newspapers as a colonial enterprise. Mark Cronlund Anderson and Carmen L. Robertson, both professors at the University of Regina at the time of the book’s publication in 2011, examine pivotal experiences in the history of Indigenous peoples in Canada. Each chapter scrutinizes select publications’ reporting on each of these experiences from the notorious purchase of Rupert’s Land, the White Paper and the Oka crisis, to the potentially lesser known, but equally as important, deaths of Archie Blaney and Pauline Johnson.

When History is Now
I never thought I'd live to see war in Europe As Russian forces massed on the borders of Ukraine and Putin ginned up justifications for an unprovoked invasion, I hoped he could be edged back from the brink. I listened to President Biden’s near-daily warnings of an imminent attack on Kyiv with dread, sure, but also the hope that the repeated call-outs, the strategic intelligence spills, the warnings of sanctions, and the growing outcry among European leaders, would bring the Russian leader to his senses.
