Brain Lag About My goals with Brain Lag have been to create high-quality books at a reasonable price and to treat authors fairly. I love Canadian authors, debut and emerging authors, and work from marginalized people (2SLGBTQIA+, BIPOC, neurodiverse, disabled/spoonie, etc.) but again: the first thing I'm looking for is a good story.
