LANA has RETURNED!

Lana has returned…

...like a phantom but not in the night! She's back in broad daylight!!!

Hello out there scrolling Instagram lovers! It’s me!

Lana.

Lana Skauge.

You remember me, don’t you?

Hahaha! I too have been in the world of Instagram. It’s so appealing!

Picture, comment, done! Instant, right?

BUT

…so much is left unsaid…

In my usual flare, time has passed

BUT

I’ve been busy baby!!! I was up to my nose in Artist in Residencies designing a peace train for a chain link fence, invented a mini shadow/storytelling box, monster costumes, the journey of a water drop and the perils of pollution, elf hats for a whole school, more radio dramas, giant puppets, and TEA for the littles with gifts of course!

Did I mention being part of the fabulous Arts ReimaginED conference as a teaching artist through the Werklund Centre???Cool stuff.

And in all of that I was writing, writing, writing for my upcoming fifth book.

Last fall I was a part of a reading where I got to honour my friend SallyV and her amazing poetry. “Highway 22” is a must have. Buy it at Shelf Life books in Calgary.

(That’s me between another brilliant writer Kirk Miles and SallyV my poet guru)

Blog? I couldn’t keep up with my laundry!

HOWEVER

I’ve saddled up, again!

Can you see the determination?

That’s my face after a day of edits. See the picture below.

Thanks to Brian Hades (Hades Publications and EDGE) book number 5 is coming! It is a “best of” series with new works added for my faithful followers. This one is called "MADE OF SNOW AND STORY”.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!!

I have secured two spaces for my book launches and I am on the road to promote them, folks!

I'm calling on my fellow artists to make these events highly theatrical and entertaining!
