This month, we read and discussed Annie Proulx's masterpiece, Brokeback Mountain, as it was published by The New Yorker. Be sure to give it a look. It's more than worth it.

Guest of honour was speculative author Crystal L. Kirkham.

Crystal L. Kirkham is a multi-genre speculative fiction author. She has published novels across several genres including her fantasy adventure Feathers and Fae (October 2019 from Kyanite Publishing) and her self-published urban fantasy series, Saints & Sinners. She is also a contributing author to multiple best-selling anthologies.

Originally from the Vancouver area of British Columbia, she now chooses to call a small hamlet west of Red Deer, Alberta her home. She is an avid outdoors person, unrepentant coffee addict, part-time foodie, servant to a wonderful feline, and companion to two delightfully hilarious canines - Treble the Standard Poodle and Nahni the Australian Shepherd.

She will neither confirm nor deny the rumours regarding the heart in a jar on her desk or the bottle of readers' tears right next to it. However, she will confirm that she once broke the metal handle to a 4-tonne car jack with her bare hands.
