With the chaos of my book being released and having a second launch in Halifax last week, The CF Walk has totally snuck up on me. I attended today with Amy - although we mostly just stayed inside where it was dry. As usual, if you would like to support CF Canada through the walk, here is the link. Isaiah was working this year so it was just Amy and I who attended. I sold a few books and we took zero pictures.

I know I haven't been writing much, May involved a lot of driving around the area but now most of my major book events are over. I have one reading in Amherst on June 4th and then nothing scheduled until a festival in Yarmouth in July. I do have a  CBC interview block on Tuesday for 4 hours and will be doing between 12-15 interviews in that time frame. I should be a pro at it by the 6th interview, right? I think it'll be fun but also hard on the brain. I'm not sure who I'll be interviewing with - I assume it'll all be local stations but I'm just guessing. I'll find out more on Tuesday. 

Author talk at the Springhill Library!

All the book events have been fun but very tiring. Between the exposure to so many people and the energy it takes to socialize with everyone, I've been resting a lot between events. Thank you to everyone who has come out to support me, I really appreciate it and it's been a lot of fun.

Book signing at the Moncton Chapters!

Halifax launch at Open Book Coffee.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the book launch! It was a tremendous success! Below are pictures of our decorations and a few of that night.

Totally not staged after the launch.

Pressure to spell my name right!

My official book launch is on Wednesday!

Ahh! I know the book has been out for a few weeks now but this will make it so much more official. Everyone is welcome! Representatives from Chapters will be there to sell copies of the book and we've made cookies. Drop in anytime from 6:30 to 8:30.

It's in Petitcodiac, not Hillgrove! Blame Google on having the wrong address listed.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

We went home to the parents for the weekend although are back now (mid-Sunday) as Isaiah has to work bright and early on Monday. I hope everyone got some delicious food and chocolate.

I've been planning events for my book which has been exciting. Feel free to come to all or some of them! You can see over on my facebook page but so far I have:

May 8th, Official Book Launch, Petitcodiac Baptist Church, Petitcodiac NB, 6:30pm to 8:30pm
May 14th, Author Reading, Springhill Public Library, Springhill NB, 7pm to 8pm
May 18th, Author Signing, Chapters, Moncton NB, 12pm to 2pm
May 22nd, Book Party, Open Book Coffee, Halifax NS, 6:30pm to 8pm
June 4th, Author Reading, Four Fathers Library, Amherst, NS, 7pm to 8pm

I also did a radio interview for NEWS 95.7. If you want to hear me talk about my book, click HERE and scroll down to April 16 - 10 a.m. and the interview starts at 33:15.

ALSO, if you want to read an except of my book, you can do it at Atlantic Books Today HERE

I'll do my best to keep updating as things progress!

Book Launch!

I've started planning my book launch party! It's happening in Petitcodiac, NB at the Baptist Church on May 8th at 630-830pm in their new River Room. Everyone is invited, feel free to drop in and grab a snack or stick around and socialized. I went home over the weekend and we made some cookies shaped like lungs and didn't eat all of them. Only a few that we screwed up.

I'm working on my talk, trying to refine it so it will make sense instead of everyone listening to me talk in circles. I've warned Isaiah that he gets to listen to it about 15 times from now until May. He seems less than excited.

Generally, everything is moving forward with the book, copies have arrived at the Nimbus warehouse and I received my author copies in the mail! It's happening, books will be in the stores (if not already)!
