Welcome to The Stinkwater Escapee
A serialized middle-grade story — debuting publicly through the Manitoba Writers’ Guild Book Chat.
Big Al ruled the swamp.
Until one fox, one burp, and one delicious idea lift him out of Stinkwater and into the human world.
Adults mistake him for a person.
Kids see him for what he really is.
Guided by his powerful nose and the occasional raven, Big Al navigates motels, diners, trucks, and back alleys on an antihero journey to the Big City — where blending in proves harder than escaping.
Book Chat marks the first public appearance of The Stinkwater Escapee, hosted by the Manitoba Writers’ Guild via Zoom, with printed chapbooks available.
