Nathan Caro Frechette's Ice Cream for Zombies

Writing, comics, roleplaying, storytelling and all the queer things

Voice, Lists, Existing, and Being Heard

Originally posted on 'Nathan Burgoine:
I didn’t want to have a discussion today, and I couldn’t help myself from expressing a bit of exhausted frustration about the discussion… and then ended up having the discussion. Again. My own fault. But, it occurred to me I’ve had this conversation enough that it might be worth putting…

Making a Living: More Potent than a Toxic Beetle

Originally posted on Cait Gordon—author and editor:
Making a Living, by Caroline Fréchette How am I supposed to resist reading a book that begins with, “When Nathan came to, the dead girl was crying. He was relatively sure she wasn’t supposed to do that.”? Let me explain the title of this review. Last Thursday…

Coming home

Twelve years ago, I moved from Montreal to Ottawa. I left a lot behind when I did, but I’d never realized until now how much that was. One of the things I hadn’t really thought of is my LGBT community. When I came to Ottawa, I thought, surely in a city that’s almost a third… Read More Coming home

Guest post – I give myself permission

This week, I wrote a guest post for Spoonie Authors Network. I was asked to talk about how I write despite my mental illness, and how I manage the days when I simply don’t have the “spoons”, or the energy reserves, to even function. My answer is called “I give myself permission”, and is about… Read More Guest post – I give myself permission

Guest post – Fluid mom!

As a lot of you now know from my last post regarding gender, Vicariously Male, I am genderfluid, which means my gender oscillates from one end to the other of the gender spectrum. Today, I one of my dear friends published a comic on mine as a guest post on their blog. I had originally… Read More Guest post – Fluid mom!

Favourite reads of 2016

Just before 2016 is over, I wanted to pick a top ten books I have read this year to present. It was a pretty hard feat, trimming it down to only 10, and I had to cheat a little… I made two lists! You’ll find below my choices for both novels and graphic novels! I… Read More Favourite reads of 2016

Holidays are for you, too

Hey all! I’m writing today because I’ve been put on sick leave for a week (and yet here I am, writing blog posts… oh well) and it reminds me that I have something to say, as much to myself as to others. I am very feverish and on a lot of medication, so this is… Read More Holidays are for you, too

Vicariously male

Table-top RPGs are important to me in a way that I’ve seldom had the courage to describe. Sure, they helped a lot make me into the writer I am, and taught me a ton about storytelling and collaborative fiction; but much more than this, it helped me deal with a lot of the difficult things… Read More Vicariously male
