University of Manitoba's Top 10!

It’s quite a thrill to see that Things Go Flying made the Top 10 list somewhere! I’ve never even been to Manitoba—how did that happen? It makes me want to visit.

Top 10

I’m really looking forward to the Fiery First Fiction Toronto event on May 12th. I want to meet all these other authors I’ve been blogging with—and get their books. I want my own FFF bag!

You can get one too, all you have to do is go to a participating book store and buy one of the FFF titles.

Also, I hear that Type Books is opening a new bookstore in the next couple of weeks somewhere on the Danforth, which is my neighbourhood. Wonderful news. Way better than getting a Starbucks.

Nova Scotia author events

All this nice weather is making me think of summer and my trip to Nova Scotia.
I’ll be reading at Frog Hollow Books in Halifax and at The Box of Delights Bookshop in Wolfville, as well as some other locations to be announced. Dates to be determined.
I can’t wait to have those Tim Horton’s blueberry fritters you can only get in NS!! Also, blueberry grunt, blueberry pie, ocean air, and a generally slower pace…I am so looking forward to it!

gritLIT

Met some interesting writers at gritLIT on the weekend. I’m reading Steve McOrmond’s book of poetry, Primer on the Hereafter, and it’s brilliant.
