this is all we know

PEI-based author and multidisciplinary artist Robin Anne Ettles released her second short story collection, this is all we know, in October. 

The book is a self-published work through FriesenPress, a Canadian publishing company based in Manitoba. Copy editing took place closer to home with PEI Poet Laureate Tanya Davis. The new collection offers a version of the Canadian landscape against which eccentric tales and colourful characters evoke ever-shifting perspective on what we see and who we are.

Ettles’s first book won the Rubery Book Award Short Story Prize in 2020 and provided a base of learning and encouragement from which to create a second. 

this is all we know is available online, ahead of its spring 2025 launch, via rae-creative.org with a pay-as-you-can via artist-direct ordering option, or through the FriesenPress website. It will also be available on mainstream platforms. 

There will be a parallel launch campaign on Ettles’s Instagram documenting the book having fun and “launching” in various places over the next year.
