Great Canadian Authors table!
I know I don’t blog much. But I had to share this photo of Happiness Economics on the Great Canadian Authors table at Chapters! Never thought I’d see the day.

The Future of Free
We’ve been hearing a lot lately about how we are living at a time when cultural content is expected to be free. This has been very bad for musicians, and lately, for writers too.
But maybe it won’t necessarily have to go that way. Check out this article in Newsweek — The Future Won’t Be Free.
Maybe this is a blip, and the future won’t necessarily mean giving it all away for nothing.

Go Green
There’s an important article on Quillblog today about publishing and protecting the environment.

One thing I love about Brindle & Glass is that they are committed to protecting the environment. My book will be printed on 100% post-consumer recycled and ancient-forest-friendly paper. Which makes me very happy.
We should be proud of our Canadian publishers, who are leading the way in this. Unlike Stephen Harper, who is a national embarrassment. Don’t get me started….
