Author Talks with Students About First Novel
Schomberg resident and first-time author, Robin Leacock, spoke with our MS English classes and Grade 12 Writer's Craft recently about his newly released book, Evolo, a young adult science fiction novel.
His story is set in a dystopian future, where people live in fear of an apocalyptic event called the Last Day. According to Leacock, he was inspired by the current state of the world and decided to create this fictional one.
He also shared his creative process, the stages of editing, and the advantages of self-publishing (on Amazon). If the last name sounds familiar, it's because Robin is married to faculty member Ms. Andrea Leacock!
Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
