I really appreciate everyone who came to my book launch yesterday! Thank you! You are all lovely people!
(So are the people who couldn’t make it, obviously).
I also found out that Queen Books sells these & came home with 3 more.
I might have a British Library Tales of the Weird problem.

It’s I Read Canadian Day!
I actually am a Canadian (there was a lot of waiting & paperwork, but I got there!)
My latest book, WE BURY NOTHING, is set in Canada during WWII. It is about complicity & resistance.
Available from libraries & bookshops.

I'll to be signing my new book WE BURY NOTHING at Word on the Street tomorrow. Come and visit at my publisher's booth (and check out the other wonderful authors, too!).
It's at David Pecaut Square this year (St Andrew Station), and I'll be signing at 2:45 on Sunday.
This, as always, terrifies me.

Soccer & frisbee continue, and will not be stopped by something as trivial as a plane crash behind them.

I managed to get a real Labubu in the last drop for my daughter.
This weird elf-monster toy is probably my greatest parental win this year.

If you appreciate Canadian TV and film, you should also stand with the WGC. AI produces utter crap. It is literally programmed to produce the most predictable mediocre content possible. If you ever want to be surprised or delighted or challenged by new ideas & unique stories, you need real writers.
