Here’s a list of events coming up in the next few weeks:
Ottawa International Writers Festival Sunday, April 25, 10:00 a.m., Books and Brunch with Paula Butturini, Tom Jokinen, Amir Gutfreund and moi. Hosted by David Dollin at the Lord Elgin Hotel.
On Wednesday, April 28th, I’ll be at the Gladstone Hotel Ballroom at 1214 Queen St. West in Toronto, from 7:30 – 10:00. Ibi Kaslik and I will be talking about Nice Recovery. Ibi is a novelist, freelance writer and teacher. Her most recent novel, The Angel Riots, is a rock n’ roll comic-tragedy that was nominated for Ontario’s Trillium award in 2009. Her first novel, Skinny, was a New York Times Bestseller and has been published in numerous countries. She teaches creative writing at The University of Toronto’s School of Continuing Studies.
I will be back in Toronto in early May to give a series of talks at schools around Toronto and to celebrate at the White Pine Awards for which Getting the Girl is a contender. I’ll say one thing about Sherm: he’s no quitter.
