This blog isn’t just here so I can post pictures of angry ducks and stuffed animals in trees, you know. It’s also a serious tool of relentless self-promotion. So, with that in mind, here are a few updates on the book front.
The Woefield Poultry Collective (Home to Woefield in the U.S.) was the #1 book in June at Rossland, B.C.’s Cafe Books West.
Thanks to the fine people at Cafe Books West for choosing Woefield for your book club! If any other book clubs are reading Woefield, be sure to check out this excellent list of book club questions developed by Kaitlyn Till for HarperCollins and the Savvy Reader. And check out Cafe Books West on Twitter.
I will be giving a reading and talk at the Sunshine Coast Festival of the Written Arts, which runs from August 4 – 7 at the Rockwood Centre. My event takes place Saturday, August 6 at 1:00 p.m. I hope to see you there.
This October 21 – 23 I will be giving talks and workshops at the Surrey International Writer’s Conference. Hope to see you there, too. Man, you’re going to be busy!
I will also be visiting Edmonton and, I hope, Wetaskiwin, for library readings and visiting with some book clubs at the fabulous Indigo Edmonton South Common store where the booksellers have been amazing champions for Woefield. I will post exact details as soon as I have them. This visit will take place September 23-26.
Finally, I’m trying to be off salt and that’s hard but there’s only so much water one woman should retain.
