Raven's View

All the stuff, in various sections. My musings on sparkly things that have caught my interest. At times with a serious spin. I'm also a fiction author, see mikeyoung.ca. I also have some podcast readings here, using my stories and some classics.

Various news articles and tidbits I've found in the past few days that caught my eye. Includes my Sunday Sparklies post.

Podcasts of me reading from my stories or some of the classics, such as A Christmas Carol, Jeeves and Wooster, Alice in Wonderland, Winnie the Pooh, A Room with a View, Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Wind in the Willows. All copyright-free here in Canada.

My short stories, both new and recycled, plus some of my work on my novels, and the occasional writerly notes. Occasional posts, should be more! See https://www.ravensview.ca/short-stories.html for some older work.

Post every week or so on a recent political article and/or analysis that caught my eye. Opt-in/out via your SubStack notifications.

My additions in here will be mostly daily, mostly for me. I need a place to jot down events and articles and thoughts that pop up in a day. I don't really want to polish it up or commit to a schedule, so for now I won't send as a newsletter and I'll keep it off my homepage. I post some of this to my Facebook too, where I do get comments from friends occasionally, but who sees it is very dependent on the algorithm. Stoopid Facebook.
