Welcome

Hi, I’m Patrick Johanneson.

I take a lot of pho­tos, many of them after dark (I par­tic­u­lar­ly like get­ting shots of the auro­ra and the Milky Way).

I write sci­ence fic­tion & fan­ta­sy. My work has been pub­lished in Inter­Text, Ecclec­ti­ca, On Spec, Tesser­acts 14, and Dai­ly Sci­ence Fic­tion.  I won the Man­i­to­ba Short Fic­tion con­test in ’04.

I have a blog:

• 
  Auro­ra Bore­alis — Sept. 18, 2023
  An hour’s worth of danc­ing sky.
• 
  Milky Way — Sept. 16, 2023
  A cou­ple more hours in the dark.
• 
  Writ­ing Retreat 2023: Fri­day
  Already it’s the end of the week.
• 
  Writ­ing Retreat 2023: Thurs­day bike ride
  10km and a hand­ful of photos.
• 
  Sun­flow­ers
  Sla­va Ukrai­ni, as they say.

Way, way more »

I also enjoy web­site pro­gram­ming, teach­ing judo, Cana­di­an and indie cin­e­ma, and Norse mythol­o­gy.  I live in Man­i­to­ba with my wife Kathleen.

Je sais par­ler français, mais… lente­ment. Je ne m’en sers pas beau­coup dans ma petite ville.

You can find me on Face­book and Mastodon^[1]I used to use Twit­ter, but… well, you know.. I also very occa­sion­al­ly post pho­tos on Insta­gram, but you’re more like­ly to find ’em here.
