OOPS!
We have had a few difficulties with the blog entries lately. Please be patient while we make a few adjustments.

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….

Brazilian rights sold!
Brazilian rights to Things Go Flying have been sold to Saraiva Livreiros Editores! The book will be translated into Portugese.
This is very exciting because Brazil is a large, emerging market, and Saraiva owns the largest chain of big book stores in Brazil.
Yay!

A really cool book trailer
Tricia Dower has had a trailer made for her book, Silent Girl, and I think it’s pretty terrific.
I’ll try to post it here. Fingers crossed!

The Writers' Trust Gala
The Writers’ Trust Gala was perfectly fabulous!
I got THIS CLOSE to Margaret Atwood. That’s her in the shawl.
