Books of Wonder virtual event

Thank you, Books of Wonder, for hosting this chat! Not only was it an honor to speak about Winterkill but it was so interesting listening to Jennifer Chambliss Bertman, Anika Fajardo, and Sara St. Antoine speak about their books, their writing process and their inspiration.

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.
