Happy to share that I will be attending in person at the Fraser River Literary Festival’s Local Authors Bookfair event in Port Coquitlam, BC, Canada, on Sunday, November 1. If you’re curious about ecofiction writing, stop by and say hi! I will be there with copies of all three of my novels for sale. https://coquitlam.libnet.info/event/17091495 https://coqlibrary.ca/frlf/ #ArchitectsInFiction #BCAuthor #CanLit #Coquitlam #CoquitlamAuthor #CreativeWriting #Ecofiction #PortCoquitlam #ScribesAndMakers #SupportIndieAuthors #SupportIndiePublishers #VancouverAuthor #VisionaryEcofiction #WomenInSTEAM #WomenInSTEM #WritersFestival

In our latest eco review, our editor reviews Joe Koch's recent short story, "Take Him", published in Gavagai: https://www.briefecology.com/life-after-waste-brief-ecology-32/eco-review-space-time-nature-gender-dialectics-or-new-from-the-old-in-joe-kochs-take-him #ecofiction #shortStory #writing

Time for a three good things list!

1. A long weekend, even with a complex colonial history - still, a long weekend.
2. Family coming into town! See #1 above.
3. Clarity on books and art sharing. Probably due to #1.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

P.S. I made this announcement below, on my FB author page and elsewhere - to contextualize the clarity referenced above in #3.

P.P.S. What happens in hashtag world when you put a # in front of a numbered list? Do we end up with too many #1s etc? Do algorithms sort for numbered lists as opposed to hashtags for hashtags? Asking for a friend...

Here is the FB post:

✨ At long last, I have made a decision about how to share the art that backed up the novel writing. Sometimes the hashing out of "how" is as creative as "what," and in this case, it has taken a while. Since the novel trilogy was begun with research in 2011, 15 years ago, taking time seems just fine. ✨ I am planning a show and talk called The Art of The Trilogy and I'll combine the art (27 panels and more) that accompanied the novels of the Erenwine trilogy, as well as reflections on crafting a trilogy overall, and doing it artistically. Stay tuned; looking at November 28 or December 5 (2026, this year!) at The Evergreen Centre Studio A in Coquitlam BC, Canada. ✨ Booking dates and info to follow! #BookArt #CreativeFlow #Ecofiction

Very happy that today is the paperback publication day of my third novel, Rail: A High Speed Adventure! Thank you all who have supported this journey. In Rail, a designer is drawn into a globe spanning infrastructure proposal with uncertain motives. As ecological ethics collide with corporate ambition, she must confront the meaning of home, responsibility, and legacy—while her past and future converge in unexpected ways. The trilogy blends environmental storytelling, design thinking, and near future speculation, offering readers a grounded yet visionary look at the systems shaping our world. Chowdhury, a registered architect and circular economy strategist based in the Vancouver metro area, continues her exploration of ecological futures through character driven narrative and interdisciplinary worldbuilding. https://www.amazon.com/Rail-Maia-Kumari-Bree-Chowdhury/dp/B0H8X9HB3C/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Fqy5fZQ-fjH9HsgIYrdXwfP9Dn0Ix2dvprIl2YQW0dA.W5WNMRxVXjtCEqg1tkqKr1yPu9f5tdZVPOKE_U1H1Gk&qid=1785284413&sr=1-1 #Architecture#ArcticFiction#Ecofiction#IndieAuthor#IndiePublisher#JapanFiction#NewYorkFiction#Permafrost#ScribesandMakers#VisionaryEcofiction#WomenInSTEM #WritersCoffeeClub#WritingCommunity

Friday! Time for #ThreeGoodThings -

1. #Futurescapes workshop

For good measure, maybe 3 more good things...

2. Only 4 days left of #presales, for paperbacks, then the trilogy will be available in both ebook and physical copy, worldwide.
3. Over 1000 people have signed up for the Goodreads #bookgiveaway I am running for Rail.

p.s. Pic is a snapshot I had on my laptop, from the movie Inception by Christopher Nolan. @ThreeGoodThings @bookwyrm@tech.lgbt #BookWyrm #BookWyrmSocial

My new novel is here. Rail: A High Speed Adventure is now available in the US as an ebook, with worldwide presale open. Paperback presales will begin soon.

In the spirit of Mastodon and Three Good Things:

1. The time and space in which to write
2. The ability to connect with a flow of inspiration and to translate it into words
3. Indie publishing and readers who support

Rail is the third installment in a trilogy following architect Amalia Sengupta Erenwine across her professional arc — from intern architect, to studying for her exams, to becoming licensed and stepping into work that tests her skills, values, and sense of responsibility.

Global architect Raya Ani writes of Rail: “Building on The Erenwine Agenda, this work expands the conversation between architecture, environment, and responsibility. The trilogy holds a consistent thread of care — for people, for place, and for the decisions that shape both.”

Hi #ScribesAndMakers ... I am new and introducing myself! I believe I qualify as both a scribe and a maker. I write and publish ecofiction (mine and other people's), am a painter (abstract art inspired by my Reiki practice), and work as an architect in the realm of historic buildings (among other architectural pursuits; heritage is my fave). Just getting ready to publish ecofiction novel #3! I'll share more soon. In the meantime - Goodreads and Studio pages are linked on my bio. Have a great day all! P.S. I'm in British Columbia (BC) Canada. P.P.S. My favourite activity here is #3GoodThings and my favourite person here is @PaulaToThePeople@climatejustice.social, our Climate Justice Social Mastodon admin. :-) #Architecture #Art #BC #Canada #CanLit #CreativeWriting #Ecofiction #Reiki #VisionaryEcoficion #Writing

"Eco-fiction for me is the deepest expression of this moral imperative–to present the natural world, this thing that has been cast as something so alien to us, as something worthy of empathy."
