Word On The Street

Fellow Canadians, Word On The Street is this Sunday!  If you live near Calgary, Kitchener, Toronto or Vancouver come on down and show your support for the authors that live in your region.  If you live in Victoria, Esquimalt High School is having a celebrations of authors this Sunday as well.  What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon, than to be outdoors with your family, tucking into a tent every now and then to listen to an author read and answer questions about their new books.  There are authors to appeal to all ages and interests.  And meeting the people who write the books can sometimes spark more of an interest in reading and writing for our young ones.  For those of you in the Vancouver area, if you are brave enough to face the rainy day forecast, I’ll be reading in “Canada Writes” tent on Homer St. from 12:20-12:40.  And while you’re in the area, swing by the library, chat with the librarians and if you believe in what they’re striking for, sign their petition.  I’m not sure what section I’m going read from Porcupine yet.  Do I read part of what I read at my launch?  That piece is at the beginning of the book and doesn’t really give any of the story away.  Or…do I throw caution to the winds and pluck a piece from the middle of the book? I quite curious to see what I decide.
