I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Crystal Fletcher on “All About Canadian Books”. about my recent clifi dystopian novel “A Diary in the Age of Water.” We covered a number of topics from water’s over 70 anomalous properties–virtually all of them life-giving–to how water seems to inform all aspects of my life. Crystal was particularly fascinated with the four generations of women in the story and we talked at length about how these characters were developed and the roles they play in the greater story.

After bringing up the Toronto Star’s question of me (What keeps you up at night about climate change) in which I admitted that I lose sleep over the thought of how my son and his children will fair in this changing world, Crystal admitted that “Your book, Nina, is an eye opener…it freaked me out when I was reading it…and now I’m losing sleep!”
