• The Rippling of Rivers: 'Open the Floodgates' Gives Voice to a Waterway (pacificsun.com) — San Anselmo author Nina Schuyler's new novel, Open the Floodgates, imagines a river—much like San Anselmo Creek—on trial for legal personhood, blending magical realism with courtroom drama. The piece explores how her experience living beside the flood-prone creek and her environmental activism shaped the story, and notes upcoming Bay Area author events and her availability for local book clubs.
