Drawn into a globe-spanning infrastructure proposal with uncertain motives, Rail: A High Speed Adventure features a designer navigating corporate ambition, ecological ethics, and the pull of home as she redefines what responsibility means. Architecture, environment, mystery, systems, and heart — all woven together.
Reflection from global architect Raya Ani, FAIA, LEED AP: “Rail expands the conversation between architecture, environment, and responsibility — building on The Erenwine Agenda and pushing further into questions of global systems and personal agency.”
Crafted through years of research, design practice, and ecofiction worldbuilding, Rail is part of a growing community of readers, architects, scribes, makers, and environmental storytellers exploring how narrative can shape the future we build together.

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.

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.

I have not been active on social media much lately, but I am so happy to see that my phone app for Mastodon is now working smoothly. I think I will be back here more now that my app is cooperating. I think this must be also in part due to tweaks and support from @PaulaToThePeople and the team, so I want to give a big shout out to them. I had really been enjoying connecting with others here on topics of creative writing around eco-fiction, visionary fiction, and what I like to call visionary eco-fiction, so I will be looking to make more of those sorts of connections going forward. If you are a like-minded creative writer, I hope we will be able to pick up an interesting thread of conversation together. Have a wonderful day, All! #CreativeWriting #EcoFiction #FrackingFiction #IndieAuthor #IndiePublisher #MedicalMarijuanaFiction #MetaphysicalFiction #Reiki #ReikiFiction #VisionaryEcoFiction #VisionaryFiction #WritersOfMastodon

3 Good Things, Monday!
1. My art open house (drop in by appointment) is going well! Have sold a few pieces so far (all Reiki-infused and inspired), and more appointments scheduled prior to December 24th. In the photo I've attached, you'll see one of my paintings in the background behind all the text of the book cover for my new novel (see number 2 below). :-)
2. I am on track for publishing my second novel (Otter Coast, a medical marijuana mystery!) on the Winter Solstice. A funny day perhaps in light of the timing with holiday sales (it is not in time for people to order paper copies for Christmas and have them arrive, but e-books will be in time); it feels right, so I'm going for it. Also, as you'll see from the photo of the book cover design in progress, we have lots of Lorem Ipsum text to be replaced. I love Lorem Ipsum text, makes me feel like clean dishes, clean sheets, new opportunities. :-)
3. I'm getting closer to solving some work-related architecture and engineering design challenges which are always intriguing to me. Although I can't talk about work-work, I can say that in novel number 1 (The Erenwine Agenda---a love story that centers on fracking---which I am ALSO reissuing on the Solstice, in my given name, Maia Chowdhury) and in novel number 2, there is lots of workplace drama of the highest caliber! 🙂
Now, back to said Day Job. 🙂

3 Good Things, Saturday morning edition:
1. I applied for a doctoral degree program! Let’s see what happens.
2. I finished Nanowrimo! Got the first draft done of Novel #3 in my trilogy and also set a publication date (Dec 21) for Novel #2 in the same trilogy.
3. My son is having friends over tonight! (edited to include exclamation point to match how I feel about the previous two items, which is to say, excited!) This might not sound like a big deal. I’ve wanted to create a new home for him and his older brother that felt cozy and comfortable and different from the home he has with his dad. Him having friends over makes it feel normal. (edited to remove air quotes around the word 'normal' because normal means it does not deserve air quotes... so, we're in the normal zone... yay!!!). I’m very happy about that. And we got our Christmas tree up, too, so it will be a little sparkly-celebratory, too.

I’ve wanted to create a new home for him and his older brother that felt cozy and comfortable and different from the home he has with his dad. Him having friends over makes it feel normal. (edited to remove air quotes around the word 'normal' because normal means it does not deserve air quotes... so, we're in the normal zone... yay!!!). I’m very happy about that. And we got our Christmas tree up, too, so it will be a little sparkly-celebratory, too.

People often ask me what I listen to when I’m in creating mode, whether in painting or writing. This year was mostly writing. I finished the 10 year trajectory of working on my novel Otter Coast, a medical marijuana mystery (to be published in a few weeks - novel #2 in the ecofiction series) listening primarily to Ludovico Einaudi. And according to Spotify, I am in the top listeners to Einaudi in the US (probably in the world, I would guess). Here’s to creative influence! Thank you Mr. Einaudi!

Three Good Things: The Ecofiction Writer Edition
Epic book day: got novel #1 (The Erenwine Agenda, fracking focus) layout output done for new edition to be published with my new name change (going back to my given name, Maia Chowdhury).
Did the “accept all changes” on novel #2 (Otter Coast, medical marijuana focus) and stripped the Word document of macros, ready for book layout. Pub date for Otter Coast: Dec 21!
And just picked up the printed first draft of novel #3 (Rail, high speed logistics focus)- super rough, finishing the first pass during Nanowrimo.
As I went to Staples to pick up the print I thought “I am a writer!” It only took me 3 novels to say so to myself (it’s in my bio and LinkedIn but to say it and mean it to myself is another thing).
Does that qualify as 3 Good Things? I think it does.
