Riverside Books and Still Alive

Thank you to Alison and Nicole for hosting a wonderful Sunday afternoon book talk for Still Alive. The questions and discussions were so lively! I forgot to get pics during, but here’s Alison and myself outside of Riverside Bookshelf.

Upcoming book events

Next week, I’ll be touring for the Canadian Children’s Book Centre in North Vancouver and Pemberton BC. There is one open event at the NVPL. More info here.

I’ll be back in Toronto on May 14th, at Koota Oooma!

On May 21, I’ll be with London Ukrainian Canadian Congress for a book talk. A portion from book sales will be donated to the Canada-Ukraine Foundation. There will also be a raffle, and I’ve donated some hard-to-get editions of various books. May 21 is Vyshyvanka Day, and I will be wearing my newest traditional embroidered blouse! It will be neat to see a variety of vyshyvanky!!

On May 24th, I’ll be close to home, doing an event hosted by my favourite local bookstore, Riverside Bookshelf!

Autographed copies?

Are you looking for an autographed copy of one of my books? The Riverside Bookshelf in Paris Ontario has a good supply, and they do mail order. You can contact them with this form.

I brought my sharpie to Riverside Bookshelf

And signed 60 books. Do visit the shop! A wonderful selection instore, and a cozy place to browse. The aroma of fresh baking and coffee infuses the store from the neighbouring shop — divine! They’re at 32A Dundas St W, Paris, ON N3L 1G2.

First open-to-the-public event for Under Attack

It was such a pleasure to introduce my book to a friendly group of avid readers at Riverside Bookshop in Paris Ontario. Proprietor, Alison Fishburn, really knows how to pamper an author, as you can see here, I even got a throne!

Thank you, also, to the Brant County Health System Foundation and their READBCHS.ca initiative.

I am also very impressed with the energy and talent behind the new Brantblog.ca. Sergio had written a lovely article a few days ago about my upcoming launch, but then also came to the launch and covered it as well. Here’s that article:
