CBC Radio column: Talking Animals

I’m fortunate this summer to spend every week talking on-air about books, and if you’re outside of Canada, or you miss me in your regions, I will post the audio here.

Here I am chatting with Gill Deacon, the host of CBC’s Here and Now, about my favourite Talking Animal books:

Authors for Indies 2017

It’s that time of year again when Joyce and I carouse and generally cause some literary fun-to-be-had at our favourite indie bookstore: BOOKCITY at Yonge and St. Clair!

Outside BookCity at St. Clair & Yonge!

Not only do we have suggestions on the best books for kids, adults and baby goats (ok, maybe not the goats) but we can sign copies of our own books right there in store!

Come out and support your local bookstores on AUTHORS FOR INDIES day – April 29th, 2017.

The Books are back in town

Jewel-Animated

I’ve decided to repost all three Portia Adams Adventures on Amazon now that I have all my rights back (read more about that here).

You can get all three books in paperback and ebook form internationally for the first time ever. Ask you can seem from my animation above, I’m pretty excited ; )

Googling myself

I have a timer in my calendar that prompts me to Google myself once a month, because I don’t like to miss reviews or when someone is talking about me or my books.

This time when I Googled my own name, I found nothing surprising, but Googling the titles of my books, I came out with an interesting finding.

Google: Jewel of the Thames, the title of my first book.
Google: Jewel of the Thames, the title of my first book.

When I clicked on that top link for the Pickering Library, I found that Jewel of the Thames is one of the books in their 2017 ‘Battle of the Books‘ competition.

Long-story short, I emailed the library and thanked them for including Jewel, and am now making arrangements to come by for a visit to these fine students who will be participating in the Battle of the Books.

Why Google yourself? This is why:

An important connection is made, the Library gets the thanks they deserve, and maybe some kids get a bit of a real-life thrill meeting a local author.

This is to say nothing of the value to your brand and your book sales. How often do you guys Google yourselves?

Authors for Indies day in Canada

Outside BookCity at St. Clair & Yonge!

Very excited to be participating in Authors for Indies this year, so if you’re looking for my recommended book(shelves) come on down to Book City at Yonge and St. Clair in Toronto!

I’ll be there all morning with a bunch of fellow authors showing people around.

The idea is simple: authors owe a lot to our independent local bookstores and this is our one day a year to <officially> show our appreciation!

My favourite instagram book-bloggers

After having an awesome workshop at the North York Central Library with some super-creative teens, we got into a discussion about book reviewers who do their work on Instagram.

Here are some of my favourites (post some of yours in the comments!)
