Advance copies of Moon of the Turning Leaves have been printed! CBC Books will share the cover and an excerpt on Instagram and Facebook on Tuesday, so make sure to follow them there. I’m excited about this early glimpse! 🍃🍂
Our busy weekend is about to begin! We'll be at @gritlitfestival helping out and enjoying all the amazing bookish events, and we'll be slinging books at this night fair. If you're in the area, come say hi and pick up your next Earth Day read!
The fact that the #MonsterJam Monster Truck rally is at the same time as the @gritlitfestival literary festival is pretty much all you need to know about #HamOnt. We have more indie bookstores/capita than almost any other city in Canada, but monster trucks are awesome too.
thanks @gritlitfestival for having me out last night, appreciated the chance to share my decaying dreams with you. I shall return on Sunday for a workshop on horror flash fiction.
What a pleasure to chat with @elamin88 about his wonderful book SON OF ELSEWHERE @gritlitfestival. He is a gracious and funny interviewee who didn’t make good on his threat to make me talk about Duran Duran onstage.
