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.

Wildfires. Smoke-filled skies. Microplastics in our water. Oil and gas pushing farther into the Arctic and toward the poles.

The Draconim series was never written as prediction. It was written because the warning signs were already here.

Four books. Four environmental crises. Young people, communities and ancient dragons refusing to accept that nothing can change.

I posted a new Medium piece about presales and how they shape an independent book rollout. Readers often see presales as a convenience, but they influence visibility, search behaviour, and how a book enters the market. I wanted to map out the mechanics from an indie author’s perspective.

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. Thank you for your support!

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, our Climate Justice Social Mastodon admin. :-)

So excited to share the new book covers for my ecofiction trilogy! These were designed by Canadian artist and graphic designer Laurie Landry, who artfully incorporated my paintings. I worked on the trilogy for 15 years and the paintings (part of a series of 27 large panels) for 5 years...

The first two novels, The Erenwine Agenda: A Hydraulic Fracturing Love Story, and Otter Coast: A Medical Marijuana Mystery, were previously published and will be reprinted with the new covers. Rail: A High Speed Adventure, will be published for the first time in a few weeks.

What connects fracking, marijuana and infrastructure, you might ask? They are threaded together by the singular journey of the protagonist, Amalia Sengupta Erenwine, who begins as an intern working in architecture, then pursues her licensing exams, and finally, works as a registered architect. Her visionary states lead her across regions, countries and continents, culminating in the final novel, Rail. Though a trilogy, these can be read (and people are currently reading) standalone, not in order. I'll share more with next steps and notes from the studio.

For now: three good things, in Mastodon style: 1. inspired ideas 2. great collaborators 3. easy platforms on which to share them-thank you @PaulaToThePeople ! @ThreeGoodThings

Shattered Ice is out today.

A YA environmental fantasy about northern ice, disrupted migration, water, wildlife, dragons, grief, courage, and hope.

It is written for young readers who know the future should not be negotiated without them — and for the parents, teachers, librarians, and climate-minded readers who still believe stories can help them face it.

I wrote Shattered Ice before the latest headlines about opening the Arctic to more oil development.

But that is exactly the point.

The future rarely arrives as fiction. It arrives as policy, profit, melting ice, disrupted migration, and people saying it is necessary.

Releases June 3.

https://dragonfly.eco/indie-corner-jd-grant/ New book out soon from local Halifax author. #ecofiction #sciencefiction Book launch in Halifax on Friday. Donations go to Ecology Action Centre.

I’m home recovering after a bug, post-finishing my doctorate, post-finishing-school-vacation-trip, and in that in‑between space where I’m figuring out how to bring my doctoral thesis into the world as a book while preparing to release the third ecofiction novel in my trilogy.

I’ll share the trilogy more on Instagram soon; but of course I’ll talk about it here too.

While I’m resting, I’ve been thinking about two things:

1. How to share what I’ve learned from writing visionary ecofiction; not as formal tutorials, but as small, generous micro‑snippets of thought.
2. How much I enjoy posting Three Good Things here on Mastodon.

This led me to realize that the micro‑tutorials can become Three Good Things. A small, informal, unstructured series about what I’ve learned so far.

Here we go.

---

Three Good Things I’ve Learned About Writing Visionary Ecofiction

1. It brings community together; even when people disagree.
Across all three novels, I learned so much from people with different perspectives:
• fracking / hydraulic fracturing (Book 1)
• medical marijuana (Book 2)
• high‑speed rail (Book 3).
Ecofiction is a meeting place; not a consensus.

2. Writing is solitary; but you don’t have to be lonely in it.
Anything that helps you contextualize yourself in your larger community is healthy;
walks, cafés, writing groups, reading groups, sharing drafts.
People’s commentary is subjective but sharing your work is grounding.
Place yourself in your wider spheres; it helps.

3. Take joy in the finishing and sharing stages.
There’s real pleasure in thinking about the special parts of your process and how you want to share them.
I love outlining, first drafting, sculpting, revising, hearing the text read back to me, and working with an editor and designer, but also, imagining the visual vignettes that accompany the trilogy. I’m figuring out a visual narrative to share the trilogy on Instagram.
Finishing is its own creative act.

Working in a genre that’s still emerging (visionary ecology or visionary ecofiction) gives me freedom to genre‑bend fearlessly.
Book 1 is a love story (but not a romance).
Book 2 is a mystery (but not a cozy).
Book 3 is an adventure (but not Indiana Jones).
The elasticity is part of the joy.

These are my three good things today, the first in what I hope will become an informal series of micro‑tutorials on writing visionary ecofiction.

What lights are you up? When you write, how do you define yourself within your genre?

Keep writing and share!

PS, the photo was taken at Giverny, Monet’s Garden in France, on my recent trip.

Huge thanks to Annalee Newitz for their support of T. K. Rex's brand new solarpunk collection, which is out in a month! Pre-orders are still available and very helpful to a small press.

“Gorgeous, hopeful, and strange, The Wildcraft Drones is a history of the next four millennia that will make you cry — in mourning, and for joy. This is the future that cyborg oak trees and pirate drones want. I do too.”

Je lis pour le plaisir et avec grand plaisir "Un Jeu sans fin" de Richard Powers. Encore une réussite !
Et je lis en parallèle, dans le cadre des recherches pour mon 2e roman, Le Deuxième Sexe de Simone Beauvoir et Les Français au quotidien 1939-1949.
Des livres partout autour de moi ( il y en a d'autres encore), je suis bien. 🌿☀️🌈

We are excited to share this beautiful blurb from Shingai Njeri Kagunda, Ignyte winning author of & This Is How To Stay Alive. Thank you Shingai!

The Wildcraft Drones have now infiltrated the printer and are befriending it and convincing it to join the rewilding revolution. We wish them success <3
