I love that the Kitchener public library has professional sound studios. Whenever I need to record narration work, I do it there. Just finished recording a story for @fiddlehd.bsky.social . My Arctic horror story "The Old Woman Who Became a Bear" will be released in July.

Caitlyn Sinclair: One of the elements that I was struck by while reading is the way that the form matches the abruptness of the injury; each numbered segment is a sudden switch from one point to the next. Can you speak more to why you chose this form?
