London: Still Alive launch and Vyshyvanka Day

It was a wonderful event last night in London Ontario. Many thanks to the volunteers and organizers from London UCC and the London Ukrainian Centre. It was great to see the students and educators from Woodstock’s St. Sophia Ukrainian school as well!

Standoff launch in Brantford

Thank you The Ukrainian Village presented by Village Ukraina Dancers for hosting last night’s book launch for Standoff, book 2 of the Kidnapped from Ukraine trilogy! It was wonderful to see so many people wearing blue and yellow and Ukrainian embroidered blouses in support of Ukraine. For those who were not able to make it to the launch but who still want an autographed book, please visit the Riverside Bookshelf 32A Dundas St W, Paris, ON N3L 1G2

Thank you Sergio, for the great interview!

UCC London book launch

Thank you so much, Olha Nowosad and all of the organizers for such a wonderful event last night. Coming back to the London Ukrainian Centre felt like coming home because I spent many a Saturday night here, at zabavas. It was a great way to get more use out of old bridesmaids’ gowns.

Here are some pics of the evening.

Two of my very accomplished author buddies also came out. Judy Ann Sadler is on the left, and Barbara Haworth-Attard on the right.

Koota Ooma book launch!

Dare I say that I absolutely LOVE Koota Ooma? And it’s not just because a book display like this is every author’s dream. It’s also because the entire Koota Ooma team is just so nice and knowledgeable about Ukrainian-themed books and Ukrainian language books. They also have the BEST and unique Ukrainian items, like clothing, houseware and jewelry.

Here are some photos from the event.

Winterkill in-person launch at Brantford Public Library

Thank you, Brantford Public Library for hosting Thursday evening’s launch of Winterkill, in the midst of Holodomor Memorial Week. This was the first in-person book event for me since the pandemic began and I was a little bit nervous. A small but mighty group of people came out, including students from Laurier Brantford (this pic was taken by student Ayse Aras), mothers and daughters, a friend from CFUW Brantford, friends from the Brant Historical Society, and one of my fellow kidcritters. Thank you, Zile for the intro and set-up. And thank you, everyone who came out for the great conversation.
