Astoria Magazine Profiles Creative People
Fifty Million People involved in the Creative Economy and growing.
A Definition of the Creator Economy.
“People engaged in creative endeavors who earn their living through their brands and businesses. These comprise over fifty million independent content creators, curators, and community builders worldwide of all ages and walks of life. Artistic pursuits from writing, art, design, multi-media, social media influencers, bloggers, and videographers describe just a few of the growing possibilities. New technologies such as AI, software, and finance tools further careers, helping creatives grow and monetize their work.” Astoria Magazine
As a creative myself, one of my pet projects is to promote other writers, artists, and creative people. That is why I began the Creative People section of Astoria Magazine.
The latest success story is novelist Gwen Tuinman.
Gwen Tuinman has a deep interest in history and how people of various backgrounds lived in bygone days. How did they survive their hardships?
Fascinated by the landscape of human tenacity, Gwen writes about women navigating the social restrictions of their era.
Perhaps her deep interest in history comes from the imagined whisperings of her ancestors, who were Irish tenant farmers and English Quakers. Gwen seems to have insights that result in page-turner after page-turner. Like shining a light on their very souls, she brings her characters to life on every page.
Random House Canada obviously agrees and has just published her latest book called UNREST! It will be available on May 7, 2024.
UNREST, by Gwen Tuinman, is about “Brash, duplicitous women, murder and mayhem, and illicit love abound in this wild adventure for fans of Outlander and The Home for Unwanted Girls, announcing a major new talent in historical fiction.” (Random House Canada)
The story takes place in “Bytown, 1836: The lawless cesspool that will become the city of Ottawa is beginning to reek of more than just swamp water. Rife with squalor, corruption, and organized crime, class injustice divides the town more starkly than the canal that bisects it, cutting off its Irish poor—who are ready to fight back.
UNREST has been reviewed by the well-known authors Genevieve Graham, author of The Forgotten Home Child; Beth Powning, author of The Sister’s Tale; and Suzanne Desrochers, author of Bride of New France.
