Time flies.
It's been an incredibly busy month with changing of the day jobs and still trying to get press and events for the book.
On the 23rd of May I was the "keynote" speaker at the Burnaby School District's 'WORDS' Writing Contest celebration evening. I seemed to be pretty well received, at least going by the number of people who sought me out at the reception following. Must say though, kind of blown away by the writing of some of these kids, especially coming from the likes of 10 year-olds. I wasn't producing that kind of stuff at their age - hell, even at this age.
Next weekend is the National Crime Writing Week celebration of "Murder Most Foul" at the Victoria Public Library. I'll speak on a panel and then, of course, have a space at which to sell books. I'm going to stay overnight and go do a book signing at the Victoria Chapters location. Of course, I'd have to sell a whole lot of books just to break even but I guess it's the publicity that matters.
If you know anyone who either lives in or will be in Victoria on the 9th and 10th this month, please send them my way!
