Welcome

Here you’ll find information about me and about my first novel Things Go Flying, from Brindle & Glass.

Brazilian rights to Things Go Flying just sold to Saraiva Livreiros Editores!

I’d love to go to Brazil…

Here’s what the Globe & Mail said about Things Go Flying:
“Lapeña stretches belief with great charm. Her cameo clips of Voltaire and Nietzsche are a mind-tweaking delight. Her style is a gently exaggerated verisimilitude, her form spooky farce, all held aloft by sensitive portraits of four very different human animals.”

Look around, read an excerpt, and check out the Reader’s Guide for book clubs. I will even visit your book club for snacks—as long as it’s in the Greater Toronto Area. Just drop me a line by email, on the Contacts page.

Check out my blog, and my work in progress, The Poets’ Preservation Society. I’m happy to report that the Toronto Arts Council just provided a grant for Poets’!

I hope you enjoy your visit.
